Who can put 2 modules together for me?

So ive got this laser from lasever...see for the dramatic topic here: http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...g-with-lasever

I got it back today and it finally works as it should. Connect, plug in and go.Nothing smokes, burns or overheats. and it totally puts out 1320mW. However lasever did not align the laser...so after testing it on a wall about 4 meters away from me, there were clearly 2 dots close to each other.
About 20mm difference between them, but that is ofcource not acceptable.

Unfortunatly, the whole mirror and pbs set is glued to each other. It cant be adjusted manually.
I need someone in europe, who can throw away this mess of glue on front and put in new mirrors and a new pbs, and make the laser correctly aligned this time. Then after you made sure its good, you can put glue back in if you want...

Wondering who can do this and for how much beam height must be 33,5mm, and is achieved by the plate under the modules.

Pictures attached.

Thanks^^

Sorry, maybe I'm being dumb here, but what is it about those adjustable mirror and PBS mounts that means you aren't able to adjust them?
Sure, they have glue on them to prevent movement/threadlock, but a good turn with an hex key/screwdriver will pop that out (I can't make out the heads from here).

Out of interest, what size is the baseplate on that whole setup? I seem to remember you saying you had to go this route as you couldn't get a single laser that would fit the dimensions (I'm guessing length was the limiting dimension?)

because also the red module could not fit on the current galvo height, i decided to up the galvo's by myself...including the dichro's ect.
So the plate under the laser is about 5mm thick...

yes its kinda weird how they glue stuff wich is adjustable... i have contacted David and will see how he responds....im glad its only one problem now. but still a need-to-be-solved-else-unaccaptable problem.

length was indeed a limiting factor. this module fits in my projector and is 20mm or so away from the edge of the projector and from the edge of the dichro mount haha. I could move the dichro but then the red module wich i will get soon(lie) is probaly not going to fit.

Im not going to *just* screw around and put pressure on those mirror mount screws. if they break im really screwed.

no disrespect borg if you cant look at a simple problem like that and fix it(and simple it is)
maybe messing with building projectors is not for you, just buy a ready built one , and have done with it.........

[borgqueenx]

Badger...its less simple because all the glue. What if it says "snap" and breaks? Then i need to remove the whole mirror plate and get a new one from somewhere, get the parts again from somewhere and mount it all again, on a very small plate with no room for much error.

Have you tried to adjust it, or have you just assumed it will snap and break?
You should be able to tell if the force you are applying is excessive - and if so, then back off. If you take a screwdriver and press the tip into a bit of the glue, how soft is it? Rock hard? A little bit soft? A lot soft?

Look at it this way - if it wasn't designed to be adjustable, Lasever could have saved some money and used non-adjustable mounts.

The amount of movement required to bring it into line is going to be minimal, probably far less than an 1/8th of a turn on the correct screw/pair of screws. This probably won't even affect the glue as it'll move with it.

I don't really see what you have to lose. Even if you did break it, you were already looking for someone to source, replace and realign the whole lot anyway...

I need someone in europe, who can throw away this mess of glue on front and put in new mirrors and a new pbs, and make the laser correctly aligned this time.

Some basic problem assessing/solving abilities are going to be required for this sort of hobby, or it will end up very frustrating and costly for you.

[badger1666]

well are you confident enough to adjust it if there were no glue on the mounts ?
if you cant find anyone near you to remove the glue, take the front block off
and post it to me and i will remove it for you, but you would have to do the realignment whent you got it back,
or just send the whole lot if you want and i will set it up as well

Thanks guys! The glue came off on some screws...some of them had no effect on alignment, and some others made it move a bit.
Bit of pushing and screwing around and i think i got it its 1 dot on 10 meters now.
I already screwed tight the drivers on the projector, tommorow is the laser head's turn
Already messed up a bit by making 2 holes too big, had to drill again^^ im soo clumsy...

I was afraid it might break because the glue^^ wich was, solid hard when pushed in with very sharp knife.

Ok, so you didn't actually look at the setup critically and work out which way it needed to move, and then work out which screws would move the mounts in each direction...?

I despair....

[borgqueenx]

Nope i was experimenting with what to screw to make it go the direction i want.
