Chapter 6 Common Fault Treatment 1 - Laser Emission Failure (1)Make sure the connection of power supply is correct.(+24VDE and GND connect correctly? Earth the ground wire?) (2)Make sure the E-STOP switching is released , Emergency Stop inputs a high voltage signal when the laser system is activated. (3)Make sure the power supply is in proper working condition, and check its output without and with load( connected with the laser).

Chapter 6 Common Fault Treatment essential. Cleaning with lens tissue is allowable as required. Do not scratched the film layer. (3)Inspect whether other optical lens are clean, such as red light combiner, galvanometer, field lens. (4)Inspect whether optical output is uncovered, isolator output terminal and galvanometer are at grade.
