Laser marking machine
1. Laser marking is unclear or uneven
Reasons:
- Laser power is set too low, resulting in insufficient marking depth.
- The laser focus is misaligned, causing uneven energy distribution.
- Marking speed is too fast, reducing contact time between the laser beam and material surface.
- The material surface is uneven or contaminated (e.g., oil stains, dust).
Solutions: - Adjust the laser power and marking speed to match the material.
- Check and adjust the focal distance to ensure proper alignment.
- Clean the material surface to remove any contaminants.
- Test and fine-tune the parameters for optimal marking results.
2.Laser markings are not durable and easily wear off
Reasons:
- Laser power is insufficient to embed energy effectively into the material surface.
- The material surface is smooth or hard, reducing the laser’s impact.
Solutions: - Increase laser power or adjust the pulse frequency to penetrate the material surface deeply.
- Consider using alternative materials or modifying the marking process parameters.
3.Marking machine system faults or alarms
Reasons:
- Improper software settings or program errors.
- Hardware issues with the laser or other components.
- Unstable power supply or low voltage.
Solutions: - Check software configurations and parameter settings for accuracy.
- Restart the marking machine and verify hardware connections.
- Inspect the power supply voltage for stability and use a stabilizer if necessary.
4.Laser marking results in focal deviation or blurriness
Reasons:
- The laser focus is incorrectly adjusted, or the optical path is misaligned.
- The marking head or reflective mirrors are contaminated, affecting focus quality.
Solutions: - Inspect and adjust the laser focus to ensure accurate alignment with the material surface.
- Clean the lenses and mirrors of the laser marking machine to remove dust or stains.
- Perform regular equipment maintenance to ensure proper optical path alignment.
5.Laser marking machine fails to start
Reasons:
- Unstable power supply or faulty power adapter.
- Incorrect startup parameters or software issues.
- Aging or damaged laser tube, reducing energy output.
Solutions: - Inspect the power supply voltage for consistency, and replace the stabilizer if needed.
- Restart the software and verify system parameter settings.
- Replace the laser tube if it is damaged.
6.Inconsistent marking color
Reasons:
- Laser power is too high or too low, causing uneven surface treatment.
- Uneven material surface or contamination during the marking process.
Solutions: - Adjust laser power, frequency, and speed to optimize marking parameters.
- Keep the material surface clean and regularly inspect the marking area.
- Test various process parameters to achieve the desired marking effect.
7.Excessive vibration or noise during marking
Reasons:
- Mechanical components of the laser marking machine are loose or unbalanced.
- Worn-out motors or transmission parts.
Solutions: - Inspect mechanical components, especially the frame and laser head, for looseness.
- Check the motor and transmission system, and replace damaged parts as needed.
- Perform regular maintenance to ensure mechanical stability and balance.
8.Laser overheating or insufficient cooling
Reasons:
- Prolonged operation of the laser marking machine with inadequate cooling.
- Extended use of the laser, leading to overheating.
- Faulty cooling system, such as a malfunctioning fan or water cooling system.
Solutions: - Regularly inspect the laser and cooling system to ensure proper functioning.
- Schedule reasonable work intervals to avoid prolonged high-load operation.
- Clean cooling fans and water cooling systems to maintain effective heat dissipation.
9.Marking machine errors or misalignment
Reasons:
- Vibrations during transportation or use, causing component misalignment.
- Faulty control system, leading to coordinate errors.
Solutions: - Calibrate the machine and inspect the coordinate system and mechanical alignment.
- Perform routine maintenance to ensure seamless hardware and software operation.
10.Software settings are incorrect or fail to control the machine
Reasons:
- Incompatibility between the marking software and the operating system.
- Incomplete or conflicting driver installation.
Solutions: - Verify software and operating system compatibility, and update to the latest version.
- Reinstall or update the device drivers to eliminate conflicts with the software.
Laser welding machine
1.Cracks, holes, pits, or other defects appear in the weld seam
Solution:
- Select the appropriate focus position and focus diameter, and adjust the power and speed to achieve optimal welding results.
- Keep the workpiece surface clean and use suitable shielding gas to prevent oxidation.
- Ensure proper preparation and alignment of the workpiece.
2.Welding speed is inconsistent; too slow or too fast affects welding efficiency
Solution:
- Adjust the welding speed according to the material and welding requirements.
- Ensure the focus position of the handheld laser welding machine is accurate to avoid excessively slow or fast welding speeds.
- Keep the optical system clean and stable.
3.Unstable laser beam or contaminated/damaged optical path
Solution:
- Regularly inspect and maintain the optical system, ensuring lenses and mirrors are clean and intact.
- Calibrate the optical path to ensure the laser beam accurately focuses on the welding point.
4.Unstable power supply to the laser welding machine, causing significant current fluctuations
Solution:
- Check the power cable to ensure stable power voltage.
- If the power issue persists, replace or repair the power supply unit.
5.The welding machine light is on, but no light is emitted in automatic mode (manual mode works normally)
Solution:
- Check whether the connectors are secure.
- Confirm that the internal and external control mode settings are correct.
6.Weld seam appears black during welding
Solution:
- Ensure nitrogen gas is turned on.
- Adjust the shielding gas flow direction to oppose the movement direction of the workpiece.
7.Unstable laser power, fluctuating power output results in inconsistent welding quality
Solution:
- Regularly check the laser's working condition and replace aging components if necessary.
- Clean the cooling system's filter to ensure smooth water flow.
- Use a voltage stabilizer to ensure stable power supply.
8.Welding splatter issue: metal particles appear on the material or workpiece surface after welding
Solution:
- Thoroughly clean the material or workpiece surface before laser welding to remove oil stains, contaminants, or zinc coatings.
9.Laser misalignment in the main optical path
Solution:
- Adjust the full-reflective and semi-reflective mirrors in the main optical path.
- Use imaging paper to inspect and align the circular beam spot.
10. Shutter does not open smoothly
Solution:
- Inspect the shutter connectors and apply lubricant to ensure smooth mechanical movement.
11. Insufficient welding penetration depth
Solution:
- Increase the laser energy by adjusting the pulse width and increasing the current.
- Adjust the focal distance to bring the focusing lens closer to the focal position.
12. Frequent equipment shutdown
Solution:
- Inspect and replace faulty sensors.
- Check electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
- Perform regular maintenance on the cooling system, including cleaning filters and pipelines.
