Common Laser Engraving Machine Troubleshooting: What to do if the engraving is unclear or the line is broken?

It provides practical solutions to the common problems of unclear markings and broken lines, helping users to quickly troubleshoot problems and ensure that their equipment runs at peak efficiency.These include adjusting the laser parameters, cleaning the lenses, and checking the hardware.

Common causes and solutions for unclear markings.

If the laser is used for a long time, it may sometimes produce blurry marks and unclear lines. If this happens, don't panic. First, check these things:

Check the focal length.

The most common reason for blurry pictures is poor focusing.If the user hears a "hissing" sound while operating, this means that the laser head is too close or too far away from the material, and the user can adjust the height of the table manually until the marking is clear.It is recommended that you recalibrate the focus every time you change the thickness of the material.

Confirm laser power and speed parameters.

If the settings are wrong, the effect is directly diminished.For example, metals require more power, and plastics can be marked too fast, causing the mark to break up.The user can open the software and try adjusting the speed or power (without exceeding the material's tolerance).

Clean the lenses.

Dirty lenses are like wearing smog goggles, and they weaken the laser's power.After the equipment is turned off, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe the lenses.If scratches or signs of aging are discovered, it is recommended that the lenses be replaced.

How to quickly solve the laser line breakage problem.

The problem of broken lines has a special impact on the completeness of the design. It is generally related to the compatibility of the software and hardware.

Check the stability of the laser head.

After a long period of use, the rails and belts tend to accumulate dust or loosen up, causing the laser head to jerk as it moves.Turn off the power and gently push the laser head. If there is resistance, check the tension on the belts.If necessary, clean the tracks and lubricate them. If the belts are too loose, tighten the adjusting bolts.

The first step is to check the material on the surface.

Have you ever encountered oil or oxide layers on the material?They can also be washed with alcohol or tested by marking a small area.If it is a highly reflective metal, you can try sticking on a matte film.

Optimization of software routing.

Complex graphics may have been cut off because the software was unable to calculate a path.You can select the "path optimization" option in the software or split the file into smaller segments.If you are using an older version of the software, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version.

Small tips for daily maintenance.

To reduce the failure rate, follow these three rules: clean the lens once a week, check the light path once a month, and lubricate the moving parts every three months.If you come across a problem you can't solve, note down the error code and contact the manufacturer's customer service department. It's much quicker than messing around aimlessly!
