honestly, the easiest to follow focusing video I have seen and the fastest. Just enough information to do it correctly and not enough to confuse the viewer.
love it! please keep adding videos for those who are new to Co2. I guess most new to it go to k40 or 60w, I went deep dive - 130w. so need videos for that!
Just wondering if you could tell about the Ray shapes. My lookes like a halo when it comes out of the tube and i didnt found an explaination if my tube has a problem or if its normal
Ever heard of DOT to DOT? Center to Center wont make your beam run parallel to your Mechanical axis. Your alignment will always be out. As a manufacturer you should know how to properly align a laser beam.
I received my 80W a few weeks ago and the mounting screws for the mirrors were lose which has caused it to be very very off. how do I determine the correct way they should be mounted on the rails? It's so far out of alignment that it wouldn't even hit the tape when the laser head was closest to the second mirror.
I can do the first pulse but when I try to pulse the second mirror, no such dot appears. Is there another button I should be pressing when testing the second mirror?
@@omtechlaser my main question is about water cooling. I live in Texas so my garage can get into the 100° range. I working to decrease that by insulating the garage door and installing some fans. But obviously a bucket of water is probably not going to do.
@@VariablePenguin Yes, acquiring a 5200 Water Chiller will do the job!! The chiller can effectively and efficiently cool down your machine during those hot months.
Didn't know you guys had videos! I got a 130 watt from OMTECH and the alignment was insanely rough, can't get it to cut at the lower and far sections of the large bed.. I went through most a new roll of painters tape trying to align it (Given I had to double the tape layers because a single layer just went up in flames Instantly when pulsed lol) then my focus lense melted and cracked. Only had it for Maybe 2 months🙃 just saying.. for $7k... I expected a WHOLE lot more
Does aim tech have videos for the 40W desktop? I just bought one and there is a black wire taped to the water hose in the back but the manual does not tell me what it’s for
This video is outdated for my AF2028. The initial tube alignment does not have a up-down adjustment. It seems the only way to raise the tube is to add a shim under the tube.
I have a OMT ^) Watt Floor Laser and I have a problem with my x-axis alignment, I have the targets perfect on Mirrors 1 and 2 mirror 3 is dead center in the center of the machine full left the target is 1/4" to the right 9:00 the head mirror to the full right the target is 1/4" @ 3:00 For the life of me I cant get the x axis full left and full right to converge. Does anybody have a fix for this ?
So.. Totally missed was the alignment of mirrors to the gantries. Align laser tube with chassis ( which should be square with cut platform). Align laser to first mirror and center the dot. Align with second mirror at full rear y pos. Then fill front y pos. Make sure dots hit same spot ( does not have to be center). If it is high or low.. Your lazer is tilted. If its left right... First mirror will need to move left or right. Once these line up.... Then align the center dot. Then proceed to next mirror and do same. Make sure to align the z axis. Remove the lense. At first then install and double check. ua-cam.com/video/rYX0zfWFnIM/v-deo.html
I just bought this machine and when I went to do the Pulse test, the laser did not work at all. We followed the setup instructions but the laser won’t pulse at all. Are we missing something?
Hey there, thanks for reaching out!! Our models of 80W+ with a 20x28"+ bed have these adjustment screws. Any smaller model has stationary stands; therefore, needs rubber pads or washers to decrease/increase the stands. For more information, feel free to reach out to our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
I just finished aligning the laser again. And the dot on the last target is centered across the entire X (left/right) range. But when cutting at full power, there is ghosting around the cuts at the far right of the bed.
Hey there, great question!! Looks like you also need to check the alignment on the Y-Axis. The beam may be hitting the edge of the exit hole on the nozzle, if overlooking the alignment coming down. Another factor is the focal lens itself. If it is dirty or damaged, this can be an issue.

Also the head is square to the bed and the rest is also leveled.

We advise moving the laser head to the front right of the machine this will give you the longest possible beam. If it's dialed in in this position, it should remain consistent at any other part of the bed provided your bed is trammed correctly. Aligning the mirror closer to the tube (rear right corner) may "appear" correct, but as you reposition the head you may see some drift that's only apparent when the laser beam is stretched over the work area. If you have trouble aligning the beam to the front left position. Start by aligning it in the rear right position. Then realign at the front left position. Then realign at the front right position. This will help you walk in the "fine adjustment" at the longest laser path.
Getting ready to replace my tube tomorrow. Appreciate the videos. My pea brain is having an issue with the last part of the alignments when you are adjusting mirror 2 for centering on mirror 3. In what you show, you are saying to pulse check with the x axis close to the left side and adjust if needed, then do the same thing with the head (mirror3) close to the right side and adjust if necessary. Would you not be just moving it back out of adjustment for the last adjustment that you did? I'm confused.
Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out! Beam alignment can be tricky at times! If you hit center on the left side and then the beam moves to the right, then what you are seeing is a rightward angle opening up as you move away. The beam should be leaning right, but you can't tell when you're close. So you will need to move the far pulse toward the first pulse to "close" the angle.

I know this is an old question, but I feel it’s important since it shows near the top of the list of comments and I want to help others that might be reading through these comments because they are having trouble aligning their mirrors.

I accidentally drove my nozzle into the bed by auto leveling without material under the sensor. How to I make sure I've got the nozzle aligned correctly?
Hey there, great question!! When this happens, you will need to lower your bed manually using the belts inside the cabinet of the machine. The auto focus doesn't normally move out of position, but if it does, then you will need to first make sure it's solid again. Furthermore, you would then have to find out the offset in the Z-Axis settings in your machine settings.
@@omtechlaser I lowered the bed like you said. The nozzle appears to be at a weird angle not (not 90° to the axis). Should I just use a square to get that to the right angle?

This video in particular does nothing but waste your time. It is impossible to align your mirrors following this video unless the laser tube is perfectly positioned.
@@sweetsalutationsco.2159 The thing is they are NOT helping. I’ve sent countless emails to them to take this video down because it is impossible to align the mirrors if you follow this video. I wasted 6 months of my time with omtech. I finally had to do a credit card charge back because the machine didn’t work on day one and countless hours with tech support couldn’t get the machine to work properly. They need to take their videos down and redo them properly to help their users. Over the past year, I’ve talked to a lot of laser users, and the one thing people who have, or had, omtech gear agree on is just how terrible their customer service is.

As a website customer, you do have a complimentary Virtual Tech Support session here: omtechlaser.com/products/virtual-technical-support-vtss-01. The promo code should be found in your order delivery email.
Why not show the actual process of someone adjusting the screws and aligning the machine? Explaining doesn’t do nearly as much.
Hey Jessica, we're sorry that we missed some criteria needed. You can reach out to our Technical Support Team for beam alignment assistance at techsupport@omtechlaser.com. In addition, all website customers do receive a complimentary Virtual Technical Support Session.
It sure isn’t 5/16 wrench either.
These training videos are worse than useless.
This video in particular does nothing but waste your time. It is impossible to align your mirrors following this video unless the laser tube is perfectly positioned.
Please work on your public speaking
Work on being kind to people trying to help you!!!
@@sweetsalutationsco.2159 The thing is they are NOT helping. I’ve sent countless emails to them to take this video down because it is impossible to align the mirrors if you follow this video. I wasted 6 months of my time with omtech. I finally had to do a credit card charge back because the machine didn’t work on day one and countless hours with tech support couldn’t get the machine to work properly. They need to take their videos down and redo them properly to help their users. Over the past year, I’ve talked to a lot of laser users, and the one thing people who have, or had, omtech gear agree on is just how terrible their customer service is.
