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 for the protection against laser radia-

tion. 

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

class. 

 

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

Problem 

Possible cause and remedy 

Poor marking 
quality 

Defective power supply 

Incorrect marking parameters 

Marking quality 
has deteriorated 

Lens dirty

glasses 

Mirror dirty 

 page 20, Instructions for cleaning mirrors  

Laser power 
decreasing 

The RAYLASE  weldMARK™ software can compensate a loss 
of laser power.

No laser beam, 
although pro-
cess started 
from PC.

blocked. 

Remove protective cover from beam input and/or output 

Laser driver fault 

Fault in laser system 

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

Data cable  
defective 

 page 11, Status LEDs
