Laser Cutter TroubleShooting

There are three cases. 1. Two sides of the working table are not of the same height. Turn off the whole machine power, manually pull one of the belts of Z axis so as to adjust the up and down of the working table height of this side and calibrate the level in this way. Shown as below: 2. If it’s one of the four corners that is of different height from the other three corners, use method 2. As shown above, by adjusting these screws you can fine adjusting the support frame of the knife table so as to calibrate height of one corner. 3. If neither of above two methods can solve the problem, please use method 3. But it’s much more difficult. Please handle it carefully. 1. Loosen the screws of the fixed module. The belt will be loose accordingly. 2. Rotate the lead screws to calibrate the table height of this corner. (PS: rotate it clockwise, table in this corner will go up; turn it anticlockwise, table will go down) 3. Working table of this corner will go up or down when...

Following reasons cause the failure of laser working (has no laser beam) 1. Cooling system problem (includes water chiller) 2. Laser power supply (optical coupled isolator) or Laser tube 3. Wiring or Controller 1. If there shows “water protection errors, work pauses” on the control panel. 1) Pease check interfaces of water flow(ALARM OUTLET), see whether it’s loose or unconnected. 2) Pease check if the water circulation channel was blocked or not. 3) Pease try to replace the water pump of the water chiller because of maybe the water pressure was not enough. 2. If it’s not about water protection problem. Please check the laser power supply. Press the “Test” button (2) of laser power supply. Check if the laser tube will emit laser or not. (Before that, please unplug the green port (1) shown as below picture) Press Test button, check if the laser tube will emit laser beam. If there is no laser, it’s the problem of the laser power supply (optical coupled isolator) or laser tub...

This problem may cause from improper setting of the software. Please start up the laser software RDWorksV8. And then click “Config” – “system setting” on the menu bar. This dialog box appears. Make sure “Axis X mirror” is unticked, and “Axis Y Mirror” is must ticked. If your setting is different from this, this is the problem why your cutting/engraving reverse. Just reset the config as above.

If the file being imported is DXF format, the problem may be caused by improper software setting. For example, the unit of the original DXF file is “inch”, but in RDWorks, the DXF unit is set as “mm”. When you import the DXF graphic to RDWorks, the graphic will be read as “mm” unit. Therefore the size turn out in RDWorks is different from the original size. Please refer to below photo to set DXF unit in RDWorks : Please make sure DXF file unit from your drawing software is the same as RDWorks’ s DXF unit. Useful link: laser cutter reviews
