  9. Why is there damage and the spot becomes thicker during the marking process?
    Answer: dynamics, bad board, etc.
  10. Why is the position of the marking pattern offset?
    Answer: The x-axis or y-axis position of the vibrating head is offset. Find the center point and adjust the xy-axis position according to the actual offset direction.
  11. What should I do if the XY axis of the vibrating lens swings wildly and the dynamic motor makes abnormal noise?
    Answer: Replace the ±12±15v switching power supply; replace the ±12±28v switching power supply.

    Answer: Z-axis feeding motor problems, driver problems, bearings, foreign objects stuck, etc.
  16. What should I do if the glass tube does not emit light?
    Answer: The light output control of the glass tube mainly includes the laser tube, laser power supply, water circulation system and light output signal. The light output signal also includes the pwm light output signal given by the board card, the water protection signal, and the door switch signal. Therefore, the laser tube does not emit light mainly from the aspects of the water circulation system of the laser power supply of the laser tube and the light output signal. Generally, the first thing to do is to directly observe whether the laser power supply is normally powered on, whether there is any abnormality in the inner and outer tubes of the laser tube, and whether the water circulation system is normal. Replace or adjust accordingly. When the above aspects are normal, you should consider the issue of the optical signal. Generally, first use the method of short-circuiting the signal (short-circuiting the laser power supply current 5v and ain, short-circuiting water protection, p and gnd, and using a non-lock switch to control l and gnd). Test the laser tube and laser power supply. If this method can emit light normally, it means that the laser power supply of the laser tube is not faulty. It is the signal problem of the water protection switch, relay, door switch, pwm signal of the board card, etc., which can be eliminated in turn. If this method does not emit light, it is a problem with the laser tube or laser power supply, which can be solved by replacing it if it is not easy to judge.
  17. Why does the RF laser tube not emit light?
    Answer: When the waterway is unobstructed and the laser power supply starts normally, first test whether the laser power supply DC 48v is normal; the conduction of the 4 pins and 13 pins of the laser tube 25-pin plug-in can be conducted, indicating that the water protection signal is normal, and if it cannot be conducted, check the water supply. Protection; measuring the voltage of pin 7 and 20 is not according to the preset or the DC voltage is about 4 to 5v at the beginning, according to the preset or starting at about 1 to 3v is a normal signal. If the water, power supply and these two signals are normal, it can generally be judged that the laser tube is faulty. If the signal is abnormal, it means that there is a board problem or a circuit problem.
  18. Why does the laser tube connection error appear after the RF laser tube is replaced?
    Answer: After the connectors, power cords, and water connections are normal and the chiller and equipment are restarted, they still cannot be connected normally. Generally, the connection circuit board of the 25-pin connector is broken or incompatible, such as encrypted tubes and non-encrypted tubes. The board is not compatible.
  19. Why is the cutting machine misaligned?
    Answer: 1.) Feeding and cutting misalignment. First, the step distance of the feeding shaft = actual measured length * original step distance / real length. Second, check whether the timing belt locking wheel of the feeding shaft and the motor timing belt locking wheel are loose. Third, roll There is relative sliding between the loose net and the feeding shaft, and check whether there is a jam phenomenon
    2.) Unfeeding cutting misalignment First, the motor of the cart or the optical axis synchronous wheel is loose. Second, the phenomenon of step loss. The lost step may be due to the processing speed, idle speed or acceleration setting is too large. It may be due to poor contact of the cart motor line or the driver. If the current is too small, it may be that the driver or the motor is broken. Generally, the phenomenon of step loss due to a broken motor is rare.
  20. Why does the feeder take charge?
    Answer: The long feeding of the feeder is generally due to the failure of the photoelectric switch or the light sensitivity of the photoelectric switch is not right. When the sensitivity is too sensitive, even if there is cutting material blocking, it will be sensed as light, so the president will feed the material at this time. At this time, adjust the sensitivity adjustment knob at the wiring of the photoelectric switch until the indicator light of the photoelectric switch is on when there is material blocking.
  21. What should I do if the light spot of the galvanometer machine is too rough and the light intensity is not enough?
    Answer: When the basic optical path and the optical path of the over-beam expander are well adjusted, and the dynamic focal length is well adjusted, the spot is still relatively thick. It is necessary to adjust the distance between the two lenses of the beam expander. For the three-fold beam expander commonly used by our company, it is generally adjusted to the beam expander. The spot diameter is better at 13-14mm, and it can also be adjusted appropriately according to the customer’s processing requirements.
  22. What about the dynamic self-excited dynamic whistle of the galvanometer machine?
    Answer: For Shanghai Dynamics, it is necessary to adjust r103r28 to adjust self-excitation and howling. When the adjustment is invalid, it is necessary to measure whether the motor shaft is short-circuited with the casing. When measuring, disconnect the power cord of the motor, otherwise it will be long conduction. If the power cord of the motor is disconnected If the measurement is still conducting, the motor and the casing should be well isolated with an insulating film, and then adjust r103r28. After the adjustment is invalid, replace it.
  23. What should I do if the marking or cutting size of the marking machine and cutting machine is wrong?
    Answer: For the dynamic marking machine, when the vibrating head does not move up and down, the size is wrong. Generally, the correction parameter data is changed or an error occurs and the parameter correction of the vibrating mirror can be corrected. For the cutting machine, the cutting size is generally caused by the step distance and the driver. Generally, it can be solved by determining the calculation step of the pulse number caused by the wrong number of pulses.
  24. What should I do if the direction of the cutting machine returning to the origin is reversed?
    Answer: This kind of failure is generally caused by the failure of the origin switch. The origin switch has two types: proximity switch and mutual switch. The direction of returning to the origin is reversed. Generally, the coil of the switch is short-circuited and can be replaced.
  25. What should I do if the DC switching power supply of the cutting machine motor, motor driver, motor line and driver fails?
    Answer: The specific manifestation of this kind of failure on the equipment is that the laser head does not move, the laser head moves abnormally during operation, and there is stagnation and vibration. Generally, such situations occur. First, observe and measure whether the 48v or 42v DC switching power supply is working normally. The power supply voltage is not enough or If the switching power supply is working normally, it is necessary to consider whether it is the fault of the drive motor or the motor line. To judge the motor, first observe whether the rotation of the motor itself is not powered on and the motor line is disconnected from the drive. Smooth If the motor itself rotates differently, you can directly judge that the motor is faulty and replace it; if the motor itself is running normally, you need to measure the motor coil. For a six-wire motor, ac, a+, a- are a set of coils ac and a+a- Turn on bcb+b- respectively to form a group of coils. The conduction situation is the same as above. If the conduction is not normal, it can be directly judged as a motor failure; for the stepper drivers of Baishan and Yako, when the DC power supply is normal and the motor line is disconnected , if the indicator light of the driver is not on, it is directly judged as a fault of the driver. If it cannot be judged directly, it can be tested by the replacement method; in this kind of fault, the fault of the motor line is a small probability fault, and it should be considered when both the motor and the driver are excluded. For the motor line, check whether there is a short circuit or an open circuit, and use a multimeter to make detailed on-off measurements to check.

  44. Why are some places cut continuously and others cut off in the same version when working?
    Answer: This kind of problem is generally caused by light polarization or uneven work surface, so it needs to adjust the light and adjust the table surface. Sometimes the light deviation is caused by the deformation of the guide rail, otherwise it is necessary to adjust the guide rail.
  45. What should I do if the two ends sometimes cut into each other and sometimes separate when cutting?
    Answer: This problem is generally caused by the looseness of the fixing screws of the synchronous wheel or the problem of the motor wire. If there is a problem with the motor wire, it is best to replace all of them in one group instead of one or two.
  46. What should I do if the chiller is prone to high temperature alarm in summer?
    Answer: This problem is usually caused by the weather being too hot, the cooling of the chiller is not good or the cooling capacity is not enough. The self-chiller will not have the problem of insufficient cooling capacity. Generally, the heat sink is too dirty and the ventilation part is not good enough to cause an alarm. Small chillers generally have insufficient cooling capacity, and the temperature difference can be increased, and the alarm temperature can be appropriately increased to solve the problem.
  47. Why does light come out sometimes and not light out?
    Answer: Firstly, the temperature of the power-on signal is unstable, including the light signal and the signal of the chiller, then check whether the potentiometer is in poor contact, and finally check whether the power supply is broken.
  48. What should I do if the starting car does not return to the origin and cannot move?
    Answer: This problem is generally caused by the fact that the trolley motor is not powered on, and the laser head can be easily pushed by hand when it is turned on. The reason for the failure is that the 48v power supply for switching on the light is broken, or it is self-protected. You can turn it off for ten minutes and then turn it on again. If it is still not good, replace it with a 48v switching power supply.
  49. Why does the light from the laser tube become very weak after a few minutes of cutting?
    Answer: There are generally three possibilities for this problem. There is a problem with the power supply, the laser tube is broken, and the output frequency of the laser tube in the software is wrong.
