I have noticed that the laser performance has greatly decreased in regards to power. I am having to slow the speed down and increase power significantly to get marginal results.
I have performed the beam alignment and focus depth procedures and changed to a new lens multiple times.
Replaced the beam combiner lens.
Below are the resistor test results;
- Step 13: while pushing the test button on the power supply the mA meter is 43.8 mA.
- Step 15: while pushing the test button on the power supply the mA meter acted strange, first pulse 4 mA, second 30.5 mA, third 30 mA, fourth 30.5 mA and subsequent pulses averaged 30.5 mA.
Seems like something is intermittent, is this an indication of the tube going bad?
-
Mirrors are in excellent condition, no damage or deformation and very clean. Performed the entire alignment process again.
-
Auto-Focus distance may be off. Verified
-
Settings (Power % & Speed) need to be the appropriate power/speed. Verified
-
Table leveling may be needed as the table may be misaligned. Verified and made adjustment.
-
Made new files and sent to machine and from LB, no change.
-
Temperature should consistently be between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit while running. Verified 68°F
Jumped out chiller, no change.
Adjusted door safety switch no change.
Thanks in advance for your knowledge in solving the issue.
