CHAPTER VIII - TROUBLE SHOOTING
Trouble Shooting
Proper care and maintenance should prevent most problems from happening. If your machine is not
functioning properly, use the following Trouble Shooting guide to diagnose and find solutions to,
common minor problems that may occur.
NOTE:
If you can not easily find the source of your machine’s problems, or successfully administer the
corrective measures, please contact your ZX Series distributor or service representative for immediate
assistance.
NOTE:
Unplug the machine before examining the mirrors, lens, motion system or any other part of the
laser system.
Common Problems
The following are the three most common problems which may affect the performance of the ZX
SERIES. The need for cleaning and improper reinstallation after cleaning can account for both laser
and motion system problems:
1. The focus lens is not properly installed or loose in the holder.
2. Debris or dust has built up in the bearing tracks or X-Axis rails.
3. The focus lens and the mirror in the carriage are damaged or need cleaning.
Other Problems
Use the following tips if you are having problems which are specifically affecting the laser beam, the
Auto-focus pin, or are getting a “graphic was clipped” message on your computer screen when
engraving.
Laser Beam Does Not Generate
If the red beam does not show, the laser beam is misaligned. Adjust the reflection mirrors for
exact focus.
If the red beam shows, the laser power may be too low to be detected. Increase the percentage
of laser power from the ZX Series driver.
Check to see if the laser power connector is loose.
For safety reasons, the laser beam will not be generated when the top or front cover is opened,
unless you shorten the connector of the magnetic switches.
Check the all the fans around the laser tube and see they work normally
.
If laser tube is
overheated, laser beam will shut down automatically.
