5.Troubleshooting and Maintenance

5.1Whatshould Ido if the laser doesnotemit laser?

·The power supplyis on oroff,the red indicatorlighton the laser should beon after the powersupply is on ·Whether the systemhas entered the workingstate or not,if the laser system is ready,the green indicator ghts on before the laser can work normally.

• Check whether the control signal is correct or not;whether a \mathsf { C O } _ { 2 } control board is used or not,be aware thatthe fibercontrolboardcannotcontrol the laser;if thecontrol board isconfirmedtobecorrect,pleasecheck whether the "PWM ^ + signal"and "On/Offoptical signal"are connected correctly or not. Use a multimeter to check: switch the multimeter to the DC voltage,setthe power to "50"on the marking software,and then perform continuousmarking.At this time, the PWM ^ + signal should have a voltage output of about 2.5V,and the“On/Off opticalsignal"voltage should be5V,and thenset the power furtherto"90"to continuousy mark.At thistime,the PWM ^ + signal should have a voltage output of about 4.2V,and the“On/Offoptical signal" voltage should be stil 5V,which means the signalis normal.Ifanosciloscope isavailable,itis more accurate touseanosclloscope to do the check.

·Check whether the terminals of the signal cable are soldered correctlyor not.The 4-pin of the laser to be
connected to the GND of the control board; the 5-pin to connected to the PWM ^ + signal of the control board,and
the 7-pin connected to the On/Off optical signal of the control board. · Check whether the plug of signal cable is firm or not.

5.2The laser intensity becomesweak afterworking fora period of time?

· Checkwhether theairduct is blocked ·Whether the working temperature is normal or not. ·Whether the field lens and galvanometer are polluted or not.
