Left test is at mirror 1 - 11% power for 2 second pulse

As @jkwilborn points out, that tube is defective.

These discussions cover the details:

1/4" Baltic Birch Won't Cut

If these three exist proper tube operation clean and aligned optics proper focus They work… One of these isn’t … The response about m1 isn’t what I think @bernd.dk is talking about. I believe he’s referring to the power distribution in the beam emitted form the tube. This is known as TEM00 resonance or mode, for a properly working tube. A change from TEM00 to another mode happened to me over a three day weekend when I was out doing other things. The machine was and has been aligned very…

TEM00 testing methods

Someone in a post about the above said “a picture of a hole is not helpful”. We have been doing our alignment by pressing the manual “pulse” button, which is obviously 100% power. Should we be trying t o assess the TEM at lower powers, or would that defeat the object? Same person said they cut targets out of watercolour paper. Isn’t the “target” then some microns at least closer to the laser, but more importantly since the mirror is at 45°, some microns to the left or right? How much does the t…

RDC6445 Install Question

Hi All- I’ve retrofitted a Full Spectrum laser with the RDC6445 because the Full Spectrum controller is, quite honestly, useless for production/professional type work. Everything is now functioning correctly and working well however I have one little snag that I could use the community’s help with: Home is top right corner of the machine. When I reset the axes the machine will head this direction. Pressing up arrow causes Y to move up, pressing right arrow causes X to move right. Incremental p…

Unfortunately, there is no way to repair a defective tube. If it’s under warranty, you should be able to get another one.
