Problem
Possible Cause
Solutions
Laser head skips during
raster.
This issue is usually caused
by overtightening the
adjustment spacers on the
lower part of the laser head.
This issue is usually caused
by overtightening the
adjustment spacers on the
lower part of the laser head.
Try loosening the cams and
testing a raster job at 0%
power. The adjustment
spacers should be tight
enough to restrict the laser
head from moving more than
a very small amount but the
laser head should be movable
without too much effort by
hand (test this with the laser
off or motors unlocked).
Laser unable to HOME.
The laser attempts to home
but crashes before tripping the
optical interrupt. Usually along
the Y axis.
This problem is caused by the
Y axis interrupter “flag” and
optical limit switch “interrupt”
moving from the nominal
mounting positions.
X rail came out of alignment
during shipping and flag
cannot reach far enough to
access sensor.
1.
Using a business card or
small piece of paper, home
the laser and interrupt the
problem axis. Motion along
that axis should cease. If it
continues to move, the
problem is likely
electrical—please contact
support.
2.
If the axis stops moving, the
issue is mechanical.
3.
Loosen the 2 M3 screws
that secure the optical
interrupt and slide it towards
the front of the laser. You can
also loosen the two M4 nuts
that hold the flag in place and
slide the flag towards the
interrupt. Be sure that you do
not unscrew the wheel axles.
Technical Support is available from 8:00 am (PST) to 5:00 pm (PST) Monday through Friday at
