 Chapter 6 FAQ

6.1 How to find the focus and different lens with different focus.

Picture 6-1

How to find the focus length of the laser.

First, for example, set “output power:50 or 60W”, speed “1000mm/s”, then put your
steel plate(or other material) on worktable. Open “laser power” and”scanner power”,
put plate in proper position. In software, choose”continue” and”mark selected”, then
Press F2, meanwhile rotate handle. When you find the strongest light, then you will
find the focal length.
we added an external red light indicator,after you find the right focus,you should
adjust the red light manual,make this two red dots come toghther.
https://youtu.be/pksUEAdkTZY
 Optical parameter Field lens range (mm) Focus(mm)
f=63 50*50 85
f=100 70*70 110
f=163/160 100*100 195
f=210 150*150 255
f=254 175*175 285
f=290 200*200 330
f=420 300*300 475

6.2 Changing the lens

If you need change lens, first just need screw it, then change parameters as following:
1 To change 100*100 lens

Picture 6-2
Picture 6-3
② To change 300*300lens

Picture 6-4

Picture 6-5
6.3 Stainless steel mark different colors

6.4 There is no red light of the machine

① First to see the red power switch is on and red power indicator light is on.

Picture 6-6
② If the indicator does not light, you must first check the power switch is faulty, if
the switch is not a problem, it is likely a red power problem, need to be replaced.

③ Check the red power and red light interface is loose(Interface in the light path
inside).

Picture 6-9

6.5 Laser not work

If the machine not working,or on the software there shows:Error was wrong or
temperature so high,can not see the laser light or there is laser light ,but the light was
not working,there will be some places need to be checked:

① First shut down all the power of the machine,and close the computer,restart
all,check if it is in good condition.

② Check the parameter,check the laser control parameter.

 Picture 6-10
③ Check the USB cable which connected the computer with the machine.

④ Open the main engine(box),check the signal cable of the laser source,take it out
and put it in again.

Picture 6-11 Picture 6-12

⑤Use voltmeter to check the voltage of the laser source power supply,input power is 220V-230v,output is 24V,if the output power is
less than 20V,need to change a new one

Picture 6-13

Picture 6-14

This is the power supply of the laser ,if it shows error ,that means the power or some wires of this is not
good ,need to check all of this ,or need to change it .
 Chapter7 The maintenance of the machine

7.1 Optical lens clean

Because of working environment, optical lens may have pollution after use a period of
time, if not timely maintenance, the dust will corrode lens coating, the lens that
coating damage can't reflected light and through laser,oppositely it will absorb laser
heat, affecting marking effect, and easy to cause crack lens. When cleaning the lens
use lens paper or absorbent cotton put in medical alcohol rotary cleaning along the
central to the brink of the lens（note：not with coarse material wipe or touch lenses）

① Lens should wipe gently, do not damage the surface coating

② Wipe process should be gentle with, to prevent the decline
③ Wipe lens, not back and forth wipe, not brush with rough materials, because the
lens with a metal film, the film will lead to a damage of laser energy attenuation.
④ With absorbent cotton wipe can only be used once. Check don't leave cotton thread
or other residue after wipe, stay on the alcohol completely volatile before starting up.
