7. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

M100LFG-TT/150 requires minimum maintenance for continual trouble-free operation.

It is recommended to

•

Keep the wire marker in dry and clean environment.

•

Keep the cabinet clean.

•

Clean the pulling mechanism from wire debris, residue and dust on a daily basis.

•

Clean the wire guides weakly

•

Inspect the belts for wear and tear, clean from dust, replace if necessary

•

Inspect compressed air filters monthly, drain excessive moisture.

•

Inspect I/O cables and power cords for damage and loose fit.

Basic malfunctions are listed in the following table:

Problems

Causes

Solutions

Power-ON light is not illuminated. Line cord is not connected. Main power switch on the back of the cabinet is

not on.

Laser Fault light is on (local fault)

•

Cooling system is not turned on. Cooling system pump malfunction.

•

Flow switch interlock/ Check the water bubbling in the cooling system

reservoir. Check the flow switch connections to the laser power supply.

Check the flow direction relatively to the flow sensor.

Laser Fault light is on (other

faults)

Check the laser manual for details (Appendix A, p.21)

Laser is on, but no pilot beam is

detected on the wire.

•

Alignment problem/ Check the wire position. Check the scanner offsets.

Trace the beam with a piece of paper starting from the objective. Restart

the system. Consult the factory.

•

No beam at all. / Make sure that laser shutter is open and cooling

temperature is 20C. Check the front panel of the laser power supply for

specific faults. Restart the system. Consult the factory.

Pilot beam is on, but no or partial

message is printed on the wire.

•

Alignment problem/ see above

•

Laser does not switch into the power mode/ Check Scanalone Q-SW

connection to the back of Laser Power Supply.

•

Power supply malfunction/ Consult factory

Marking is not legible (low

contrast)

•

Wire is not laser markable.

•

Laser power is below normal

Follow the laser power tuning procedure (Chapter 10.1.)

Lower the objective position (Chapter 10.4).

Reduce the line spacing and marking speed (chapter 10.2&3)

Ship the laser back to the factory for the repair

Message in not changing from

wire to wire

Check the connection between plc and scanner board

“Unable to load correction file”

Check the Computer-Scanner connection/Quit the marker program.

Reconnect the cable on the computer side.

Wire length is not accurate.

Check and/or replace the belts, if necessary adjust belts pressure and

straightener tension.

Motors are not moving

Consult factory
