Hello!
I have problem with my 80W CO2 laser machine with Ruida RD 6445G.
The lines are jagged, engrave are blurred.
Anyone can help? What may be wrong?
I aligned mirrors, cleaned lens, but it doesnt help.
Please check photos:
this is definitly - i believe - result of some issue with your X drive
If you power off the machine and move the head manually do you feel it smooth?
Compare vs Y
There got to be a lot of issues and should be self evident on movement
Altenrantive, triple check all your mirrors are well seated and not loose
any vibration caused by X motion can translate to a machine shake and therefore a engrave shake
it should be able to be heard though if the above is the case, jog the machine on X and then on Y do they sound alike?
Also the focus lens inside the laser head.
And the screws & brackets between the head and the X axis linear bearing.
And the screws holding the X axis linear bearing onto the gantry.
I’m guessing it’s the lens that’s loose or broken.
Hello!
What is both funny and confusing… My wife used the laser for about 7.5 hours on Sunday. At the first cuts there were small errors in the engraving but after a while, despite no additional actions taken, the laser worked FLAWLESSLY for 7 hours, the cuts were clean and the engravings were error-free.
At the end of the work, one of the engraved texts was “jittery” / “unclear”.
I don’t really understand what could be the reason for such a strongly random quality of the laser work.
Have you carefully examined the machine for all the possible problems we described?
We may have missed something, but those are the most common causes of what you’re seeing. Check for them first, very carefully, report what you find, then we can proceed.
