My biggest anxiety was the day that I will have to adjust my mirror alignment. After watching this video my anxiety is gone. Pretty straightforward and simple. Thank you for making such an amazing well explained video.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this fantastic video. It was "to the point" but still very clearly and practically explained. It's channels like this that (imho) makes UA-cam worthwhile :) Best regards.
انا من العراق في مدينة بغداد اشكرك جدا جدا على هذه معلومات التي استفت منها جداجدا اشكرك للمرة الثانية واقول لك ربي يحفظك من كل سوء انت وعائلتك انت حقا منقذي I am from Iraq in the city of Baghdad, I thank you very much for this information from which I have been accustomed to, I thank you for the second time and I tell you, may God protect you from all the bad you and your family. You are really my sacrifice
This is my go-to video for alignment. It used to take me 2-3 hours to align my mirrors on my Nova 35 - now takes me 5 mins to make the slight tweaks necessary to keep everything straight. Thanks!
I didn't see this comment BEFORE I tried 2 types of white, frog tape, and gaffers tape. Shame on me for not reading. But you are 100% correct that the blue works best.
Do you not have to check that the beam is coming out of the cone vertical like on the thunder video and not on an angle. Into some acrylic. It maybe dead center but still be angled if that makes sense.
I turned all 3 adjuster screws almost completely out, and my red beam is still hitting a tad high from where the actual laser pulse burns (and mine is even high from center). Not sure how I can possibly line them up…
@@ThunderLaserUSA If I find that the red dot is moving around when I move on the Y axis , does that mean the rails aren't square? If so, do you know if there is a video or documentation I can read to troubleshoot it? Thanks :)
@@lbeckingsale it most likely means you are just out of alignment. we have not yet had an instance where or gantry is out of square that i can recall. its, possible but i'd start here: support.thunderlaserusa.com/en/support/solutions/articles/65000169380-aligning-your-laser-beam
Great video. I am having a problem with red light not aligning with pulse going from 2 to 3 mirror. pulse is in the middle red dot is off to the left and down a little.
the newer machines have a board to control all of that so you can defeat the interlocks for maintenance and adjustment: support.thunderlaserusa.com/portal/en/kb/articles/disabling-the-safety-interlocks-door-sensor-checking-board
I really dont understand why machines in the USA need so much adjustment, Every single machine in the UK has been spot on from factory and even after a decade of use required zero adjustment, Do people thik if there is a problem its the mirrors, so mamy adjusting mirrors for tthe red dot alignment when the red dot is adjusted by 3 screws shown

thank you!!!! thank you for explaining this step by step in a way that is understandable!!! I appreciate ALL the steps you provide.

Great video and very descriptive. Thanks again!
Great Video, Thank you so much from a brand new Thunder Laser owner..:)
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are a life saver, this video is amazin. thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video
Cant wait to receive my Nova 35.
Thankyou. That was teriffic
I find that blue painters tape works well and doesn't catch on fire easily like masking tape

Thanks for the instructions. I was wondering how close I should have the laser output to the combiner? Thank you.
It doesnt matter
How do you adjust the pulse? I've only had to do this once before and I cannot remember. I don't have power settings on my control panel.
I turned all 3 adjuster screws almost completely out, and my red beam is still hitting a tad high from where the actual laser pulse burns (and mine is even high from center). Not sure how I can possibly line them up…
Such a great video, thank you. What power do you recommend pulsing at?
thanks! i'd say 15% or so. just enough to mark the tape

The red dot is aligned at the red dot laser itself, See the Knowledge base for instructions on Red Dot Pointer
How can I get the red ligne in order to help me cuz I am suffering with my machine???????... thank you
How did you bypass the machines protection? Opening and closing all the doors for each pulse is a pain.
the newer machines have a board to control all of that so you can defeat the interlocks for maintenance and adjustment: support.thunderlaserusa.com/portal/en/kb/articles/disabling-the-safety-interlocks-door-sensor-checking-board
on mine, i ran a switch of sorts to the controller so i can make the switch and it bypasses the sensors
@@ThunderLaserUSA Ummmm, Yeah, that's for smart people.
@@ThunderLaserUSA Also what is the height gap between the bottom of the nozzel and the top of the honeycomb?

In my laser there is not enough room between the laser and the first mirror, would there be any issue placing it after the first mirror?
it adds a bit complexity to the geometry possibly but i dont see why you couldn't.
check with Steve Walters at American Photonics in Florida. He is an optics master. he may have some insight for you.
Too much talk
