Problem
Possible Cause
Solutions
Gantry jams/skips during Y
move.
This is usually caused by
the Y axis eccentric cams
being overtightened. The
normal motion along the Y
axis should be smooth and
not require too much force
when the laser is off or
unlocked.
Slowly move the Y axis from the
rear of the laser to the front. If
you feel bumps or sticking
points, the eccentric cams are
overtightened. Loosen the cams
until the Y motion is smooth.
The wheels of risers 2 (left
slider) and 3 (right slider) should
be contacting the Y rails in the
following manner:
• Eccentric wheels should have
good contact with bottom
channel
• One of the upper, fixed wheels
on each side should have good
contact with the upper channel
• One of the upper, fixed wheels
on each side will be
freewheeling or have
lowcontact with the upper
channel.
Air hose drags on work piece
or coils into beam path.
Air line not oriented in
correct position.
1.
Slide the laser head to the far
right of the work area and drop
the focus slide to its lowest
point.
2.
Remove the air hose from the
connector on the laser head.
3.
Make sure the air hose is
straight and free from kinds or
bends.
4.
Replace the air hose into the
connector, giving it a slight
counterclockwise twist so the
hose is suspended in the air
behind the laser head.
5.
Slide the head from right to
left and make sure that the hose
does not interfere with the beam
path or work piece.
