  • Page 37 Section 4: Laser System What is laser? Laser is an acronym from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. How to measure the power output of a laser tube? In order to measure the power output of a laser tube, we need to use a power meter that will measure the heat generated and convert it to a power reading.
  • Page 38 Beam Alignment The laser beam is guided to the top of the working area by using 4 reflective mirrors. Therefore, these mirror adjustments are crucial to the proper functioning of the machine. If the laser beam is not aligned correctly, the beam path will be shifted or tilted and both rastering and vectoring quality will be affected.
  • Page 39 Dust prevention lens 29005134G Step 3: Place a masking tape on the opening before Mirror 3. Move the rail along the Y-axis so that Mirror 3 is close to Mirror 2 (or dust prevention lens). Fire the laser and see if the laser beam goes through the center of the circle.
  • Page 40 Dust prevention lens 29005134G Step 4: Place a masking tape on the opening before Mirror 4. Move the pen carriage to the upper left corner of the working area. Fire the laser and adjust Mirror 3 so the laser beam passes through the center of the opening.

  • Page 44 Chapter 3 Preventive Maintenance 1. Cleaning of optical lenses In order to prolong the usability of the optical lenses, it is recommended that we clean the optical lenses once every week or as required. Since these lenses are coated with a chemical substance that protects the lens itself from the intensive laser power, we have to take great care when cleaning the lenses so that we do not scratch or peel off the chemical substance.
  • Page 45 Slowly pull the wetted paper from one side to another. Make sure the lens is cleaned, dried and does not have any debris on the surface. Cleaning the focusing lens: First remove the lens from the pen carriage. To remove the focusing lens, release the three screws on the pen carriage as shown below and locate the focusing lens in the pen carriage.
  • Page 46 Make sure the lens is clean and dried before putting it back in the pen carriage unit.

  • Page 87 Section 2. Error lights Identifying problems by looking at the lights on the mainboard. The LED circled in green is the 5V light. This light should always be “ON“ showing that there is a 5V supplied to the mainboard. Check that the power supply next to the mainboard that provides the 5V power is working properly if it is not “on”.
  • Page 88 The LED circled in yellow is the initialization light. This light turns on when the machine is turned on. It will turn off after the initialization process. If it stays on, then mainboard is damaged. The LEDs circled in purple are the door sensor lights. When all doors are closed, all three LEDs will stay “on”.
  • Page 89 When the third LED from the left turns “ON”, either the laser head or the RF cable is bad. When the fifth LED from the left turns “ON”, the RF power supply has gone over temperature. For 30W models: Only the two right most LEDs are used for 30W models. Under normal condition, all LEDs will not turn “ON”.
  • Page 90 When the last LED from the left turns “ON”, the incoming voltage to the laser source is incorrect. Check that the output voltage to the laser source is correct. Note: If the electrical circuit in the laser source has been damaged then the signals shown may not reflect the exact problem.
