The image with the single bullseye is a 20% pulse just before mirror 1. The image with the two bullseyes are 20% pulse with the smaller in the lower left position of the work table and the larger is at the lower right. The machine is a ThunderLaser Mars130 with a 130 watt RECI laser tube 6 months in operation. I would appreciate any insight that anyone has. My gut reaction is that the laser tube has gone bad and it is time for a new one. I just want to be sure before laying out the cash for a replacement.
PS: The black dots are pulses post focus lens and are not related to the problem.
Thank you,

Re: Has anyone seen this when performing laser alignment?
From your picture, the laser beam size is big, can you please try to cut 10mm acrylic with 70% power, and tell us what is the highest speed?

Considering the Monport laser for its user-friendly interface, high quality, and affordability may be beneficial given the issues you're experiencing with your ThunderLaser Mars130. Despite operating for six months, you're encountering inconsistencies in laser output, potentially indicating a faulty laser tube. While your gut reaction suggests it's time for a replacement, seeking advice from Monport's customer support or online forums could provide confirmation and guidance before making the investment. Their high-quality lasers and supportive community may offer valuable insights to help resolve your issue efficiently. https://monportlaser.com/collections/co ... ka374VZjm3

Regarding your question about laser alignment issues, it's essential to ensure that the laser system is properly calibrated and aligned for optimal performance. If you're experiencing any specific issues during laser alignment, it's advisable to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance and support. Additionally, seeking assistance from experienced users or technicians in laser alignment can also be helpful in resolving any issues you may encounter.

Hello Richard Truelove, It's possible that the laser tube in your ThunderLaser Mars130 isn't broken if you're observing variations in the pulse sizes. Uneven pulses are frequently caused by misaligned reflectors. Make sure every mirror is positioned precisely because even a small misalignment might compromise the beam's uniformity and focus. If alignment isn't the problem, it could be worthwhile to give the tube a closer look.richtruelove wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2016 1:53 am The image with the single bullseye is a 20% pulse just before mirror 1.
