TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

 

 

 

Warning:

  

The laser beam can cause severe injury to the eyes and the skin.  

  Never look directly or indirectly into the laser beam during troubleshooting. 

  Do not disable any safety precautions to protect against laser radiation. 

  Wear protective clothing and/or goggles appropriate for the relevant laser 

class. 

 

In case of malfunctions, check whether the symptom and a possible remedy are included in 
the following checklist. 

Problem

Poor marking 
quality 

Defective power supply 

Incorrect marking parameters 

Marking quality 
has deteriorated 

Lens dirty

Remove protective cover from beam input and/or output 

Laser drive fault 

Fault in laser system 

The deflection 
unit only de-
flects the laser 
beam in one 
direction or not 
at all.  

Data cable de-
fective
