Maintenance This machine is equipped with high-quality optical components that are maintenance- free over their service life under normal operating conditions. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to clean the output optics, such as the scanner flat field lens (f-theta lens), if they become contaminated with dust or smoke.
In this case, guards must be used in the area around the machine to provide • temporary protection. Troubleshooting can only be carried out by Trotec service technicians. • CAUTION Risk of crush injury when moving the axes There is a risk of crushing body parts when moving the Z-axis.
NOTICE System errors which cannot be reset or which indicate a hardware error should only be resolved by Trotec Laser GmbH trained service personnel. Error message Cause Card is offline.
Troubleshooting Error message Cause System locked by key switch. The key switch on the laser tray is locked. Laser machine temperature. Laser beam source overheated. Laser machine power. 24V power supply is outside of the permissible tolerance range. Laser machine not ready for emission. e.
