Hello all,
not really a Lightburn problem, but I hope someone had the same issue and can help me to solve a strange problem on a fibre laser (50W JPT). All was working perfectly till yesterday, now it seems the laser has no power at all. I use it mainly to engrave and cut anodized aluminium labels, I did cut 100 of those yesterday, and today same material, same focus, same settings… and no marks at all, let alone cutting. I contatcted the laser manufacturer already, but I was hoping someone had this issue already and manage to solve it. I also noticed that when framing the red laser seems blurred (like out of focus) but I am sure it is in proper focus - the red laser seems to get better focus if i lift the part about 10mm, but I tried to engrave at that distance and it does not work - made a few test with focus and the best results are still at the proper focal point. - I checked if the lens was unscrewed, but it is properly tight, it just seems it’s lasering at a fraction of the power it should have. Surely not a Lightburn problem as I tried EZCad and it is the same
machine has not moved since yesterday when it was working… and I checked again with sound level and yes, I am in perfect focus… only that at 80% power it looks like laser is at about 20%…
unfortunately yes, right lens… I even tried to put on a different lens (and obviosly go the focal point for that) and same thing… seems like the laser source decided to go on strike … or (I hope not) something happened inside the galvo head
