High-frequency spindle is defective or there is an overload.
To check this, actuate the buttons
HIGH
and
LOW
together on the
VE 600
. This allows you to increase or reduce the rotational speed of
the spindle with the buttons. If the
red
fault LED lights up again, the
spindle is defective and must be replaced.
Engraving operation not
possible
Check whether the connection cable between the
VE 600
and the
spindle is connected. Refer to the instructions in the script
creation software
VarioSign
. Has the correct output device been
selected?
Check the interface cable.
Engraving is not being carried
out cleanly. Poor script image
and/or burr formation on the
engraved characters.
Check the engraving needle. If the tip is broken off or damaged the
engraving needle must be replaced.
Check whether there are any engraving chips in the spindle head or in
the spindle clamping jaws. To do this, unscrew the depth adjuster and
take the jaws out of the spindle. Clean the depth
adjuster and the spindle clamping jaws as described in the
Cleaning and Care section, “Handling the engraving spindle”,
see page 16.
Caution: Do not use compressed air to carry out cleaning.
The desired engraving depth is
not being reached.
Next, check whether there is a sufficient distance between the depth
adjuster and the engraving material, min .5 mm to about
1 mm.
To do this, move the engraving head, with the
VE 600
switched off, by
hand over the engraving material and check the distance in this way.
