Adjusting the laser machine mirror is one of the most important parts of setting up a laser engraving and cutting machine. Adjusting the laser machine mirror has a direct impact on the performance and life of your laser machine. Generally, each laser machine has three mirrors. Which are responsible for transferring the laser beam from Laser machine tube They are responsible for the lens of the laser device. Below we will explain how to adjust the mirror of the laser device. Stay with us.
Laser machine mirror adjustment guide
Direction Mirror adjustment Laser cutting machine We need to consider a few important parameters. First of all, let me tell you Adjusting the mirror of the laser cutting machine It is a difficult task and requires experience and expertise. The mirrors of the laser machine have screws for adjusting and tightening the mirror, and we will tell you the use and function of each screw below. The mirror adjustment is done by the laser machine expert and it stands fixed on the machine. The mirrors have 3 screws, one screw is located at the top of the mirror base and two screws are located at the bottom of the mirror.

What is the function of the laser machine mirror?
If we want to briefly talk about the function of the laser mirror, we should generally note that the laser mirror in the laser machine is responsible for guiding the direction of the beam that comes out of the laser cutting machine tube. Three mirrors are used in the laser cutting machine. These three laser mirrors are located in front of the laser tube, on the x-axis, and at the top of the laser head, respectively.
Important point 1: In order for the laser cutting machine to provide maximum power in cutting and engraving, the positions of all three mirrors must be checked very carefully; adjusting the mirror of the laser machine is a sensitive and difficult task, and it is recommended that before starting work; or to increase your information and knowledge, as well as your mastery, you can safely entrust the task of adjusting the mirror of the laser cutting machine to an expert.
Important point 2: If, according to your own understanding, you think that your CO2 laser machine does not cut wood, metal, etc. well, then it means that its power has decreased; according to which the main reason for the decrease in power is the failure to adjust the laser mirror. Next, we will go to adjust all three laser mirrors.

Steps to adjust the mirror of the laser cutting machine
- To work with a laser cutting machine, the machine must first be checked for levelness.
- The mirrors must be adjusted correctly.
- Ensure that the laser tube is level so that the emitted beam hits the mirror correctly.
- Vertical cutting of materials must be done correctly.
Adjusting the mirror of the laser cutting machine
As mentioned, adjusting the mirror of a laser cutting machine is a bit difficult for amateurs. Now we will go on to explain how to adjust all three laser mirrors. To have a better understanding of how to adjust laser cutting mirrors; first keep the following picture in mind and read the text according to the picture. In general, the following picture shows a diagram of a co2 laser machine:
How to adjust the three mirrors in a laser machine
Check the position of mirror 1: Mirror number one of the laser device, which is near the point where the laser beam exits the end of the laser tube.
Check the position of mirror 2: Mirror number two of the laser device, a mirror that moves back and forth with the axis.
Check the position of mirror 3: Mirror number three of the laser cutting machine, which is located inside the laser cutting head and moves left and right.
And check the device lens: The lens, or the lens of the laser device, is located inside the head and focuses the laser beam at a single point.
Using paper glue to adjust the mirror of a laser machine
To prevent the mirrors from getting dirty and damaged, stick a piece of paper tape to the mirror in such a way that the middle of it is not sticky, as shown in the photo below. This way, the flame of the CO2 laser beam will not damage the mirrors. Many experts call this tape target paper. Considering the operation of the adjustment screws, we try to adjust the impact point to the center.
Be careful to note that if the four pulse points coincide but are not in the center of the laser mirror circle, it indicates that the mirrors are adjusted but the laser tube is not properly installed and you should focus on the laser tube and its location.

How to adjust the laser mirror screw
Each laser mirror has three screws for adjustment. To make the laser beam move vertically downwards; tighten the top screw clockwise until it is fully tightened. Also, to make the laser beam move to the right, tighten the bottom left screw clockwise. Generally, by tightening these screws, the mirror will move slightly backwards in the same direction as the screw, and this change will change the laser beam.
Introduction to laser machine mirror screws
In this part of the article, we will introduce you to the screws of the mirrors of the laser machine. Stay with us to learn more about them. Adjusting the mirror of the laser cutting machine Get to know more.
Adjusting the height screw of the laser machine mirror
The top screw of the laser device is used to determine the height of the mirrors of the laser device. If we turn the top screw to the left, the mirror moves forward. At the same time, the reflection of the laser beam also moves upwards.

Adjusting the screw to adjust the laser mirror reflection to the left and right
As mentioned, the mirrors have three adjustment screws, one at the top and two at the bottom. The top screw is used to adjust the height. The bottom screws of the laser device mirror operate symmetrically. If the right screw is turned to close, the mirror moves forward to the right and the laser beam moves to the left. If the screw is turned to open, the mirror moves backward to the left. The reflected beam moves to the right.
If the screw above the mirror is closed: The mirror head moves downwards and the laser beam also comes down.
If the screw above the mirror is loosened: The laser mirror head moves upwards and the laser beam also rises.
If the right mirror screw is opened: The laser mirror moves to the left and the laser beam is also projected to the left.
The right mirror screw if closed: The laser mirror rotates to the right and the laser beam is also projected to the right.
If the left mirror screw is loose: The laser mirror moves to the right and the laser beam shines to the right.
If the right turn is closed, Abneh: The laser mirror angles to the left and at the same time the laser beam also shines to the left.

Laser cutting machine mirror settings tutorial
To adjust the mirrors, we start with mirror one. We place a piece of paper tape on mirror one. We give a pulse. The pulse button is on the panel of the laser device. When we give a pulse, a beam is emitted from the laser tube and hits the paper tape that we have placed on the mirror. This beam burns the paper tape. Depending on where the beam hits the mirror, we raise and lower the mirror with the screws it has and change its angle. In fact, we try to make the laser beam hit the middle of the mirror.
When the first mirror settings are complete, we move on to the second mirror. We bring the second mirror close to the first mirror. We stick a paper backing on the second mirror. We remove the glue from the first mirror. We pulse again. We set the beam to hit the middle of the second mirror. To do this, we need to make the relevant settings on the first mirror. The settings should be such that the beam hits the middle of the second mirror.
When the settings for the second mirror are complete, we move on to the third mirror. We place the paper tape on the third mirror. We pulse again. Using the screws on the second mirror, we must adjust it so that the laser beam hits exactly in the middle of the third mirror. In fact, the distance between the second and third mirrors in laser devices is 130 cm.
Finally, the third mirror adjustment remains. The adjustment must be made according to the lens of the laser device. We must remove and open the nozzle under the gun. We adjust so that the pulse that hits the material from the lens hits exactly in the middle of the lens. By adjusting the screws of the third mirror, we must adjust the pulse so that the beam enters exactly in the middle of the lens.
Finally, we apply a final pulse and test that the laser machine mirror adjustment is done correctly. For the test, we also apply pulses to the four corners of the table. The pulses of the four corners of the table must hit exactly at one point.
