Hello, my laser tube status lights are not coming on at all. Also my LCD screen is blank. It's backlite, but no wording. There's a red beam of light but no laser at the head. All the other lights on the main board seem to be operating correctly. Safety switches are all closed too.

Section 4: Laser System What is laser? Laser is an acronym from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Types of laser tubes There are two types of laser sources used with the Spirit, namely Coherent-Deos and Synrad. There are 12W, 25W, 30W, 60W and 100W models with Synrad laser tubes and also there are 30W, 40W, 60W, and 100W models with Coherent Deos laser tubes.
How does the laser beam travel to the working area? The laser beam generated by the laser source is reflected and guided by 4 optical lenses on to the working area. Therefore the proper adjustment and maintenance of them are crucial. Optical Alignment Understanding Reflection.

Step 2: Place a piece of masking tape over the tube opening that leads to Mirror 2. Fire the laser and see if it leaves a burnt mark in the center of the hole. Also check that the burnt mark left by the laser beam is circular in shape.
Page 34
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. Move the pen carriage to the upper right end of the working table.

Section 5: Firmware How to upgrade the firmware? From www.gccworld.com website, you can logon with a distributor account and download an utility tool called “uploader.exe” With this utility tool you can upgrade the machine to the newest firmware or the firmware of your choice. 1.
Chapter 2. System Diagnostics Section 1. Hidden Diagnostics To enter the hidden Diagnostics menu, hold down the Autofocus button and turn on the machine. There are 11 tests under the hidden diagnostics menu. LCM Key Test LCM Key test will test the functionality of the keys on the keypad. LCM Interface Test LCM Interface test will display a series of different shapes on the LCM to allow user to detect any malfunction on the display unit.

X motor test X motor test checks that the X motor is functional by asking user to use the keys on the control panel to move the pen carriage along the X axle. Y motor test Y motor test checks that the Y motor is functional by asking user to use the keys on the control panel to move the pen carriage along the Y axle.
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 43
Cleaning the optical mirrors: Release the screws holding the mirrors in place. Place a piece of lens cleaning paper and add a drop of lens cleaning solution. 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.
three screws on the pen carriage as shown below and locate the focusing lens in the pen carriage. Apply a drop or two of the cleaning solution on a cotton bud and lightly clean the focusing lens. Use a second cotton bud to dry or air dry the lens. Make sure the lens is clean and dried before putting it back in the pen carriage unit.

corroded. It is recommended that the X-rail should be cleaned daily or after each day’s operation. The Y-rail requires the same type of cleaning and greasing about once a week. Use a piece of non-abrasive cloth to swipe and clean the rails. Then apply a small amount of the PS2 grease on to the rail and swipe it clean again.

3. Changing the X rollers The estimated life of a set of rollers is about 500 working hours. To change rollers, simply remove the hex bolts using a size 3 Allen key as shown below. Notice that the roller has a wider side and a narrower side. The narrower side should be closer to the pen carriage.

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 57
The LED circled in blue is the reset light. This light should only turn on when the reset button is hit. If it stays “on” all the time then the mainboard needs to be changed. The LED circled in yellow is the initialization light. This light turns on when the machine is turned on.
Page 58
When the first LED from the left turns “ON”, check that the RF cable is connected. 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.
Page 59
During initialization, the sixth LED from the left will turn “on” by default. The LED will turn “off” after the initialization meaning that the laser is ready to fire. However, if the LED stays on afterwards, that means the laser source is malfunctioning.
