my laser is a k40 40w
the laser has lost his power, so i open the machine where the lasertube is.
when i touch the lasertest button, then is there only a beam in the tube and not true de mirrors
so i open de elektro kast and touch the test button and then is there the beam true the mirrors
how can i solve this?
Open cover
Put a target on the first mirror.
Close the cover
Push the test button on the Laser Power Supply (LPS)
Open the cover
Retrieve the target and post a picture of it here.
Use a light touch. Showing us a hole isn’t really helpful… Less power allows you to see the power distribution across the beam, know as the TEM mode or resonance.
If it isn’t in TEM00 mode, it will never align or work properly.
I assume the color you see when the tube lases is pink? Looks off in the video?
This means that you used the button down on the LPS?
Does this mean that when you use the “Test” button on the LPS it burns the tape but when you use the “Laser Test” button on the panel it does not?
