Hi All,
You'll be happy to know the laser cutter is working exactly as expected. Today students were cutting plywood and acrylic with no trouble at all. There was a lot of rastering going on too ... with some nice results.
The problem seemed to be that it was out of alignment ... going through a full alignment setup got it back to factory specs. My guess is this happened when I shifted the gantry with the machine being switched on.
Another thing to note is that the lens has a fracture in it (the technician showed me this last time he was here). This means that it has gotten dirty and the laser has heated up the glass lens rather than passing through it. They are about $500 to replace. With its current performance being ok we'll keep going with it as it is. But please remember to check the lenses and mirror every time to ensure they aren't dirty ... and if they are, please clean them before use (you will need to wait until they cool down if the machine has been in use ... say 5 minutes after use ... before you apply the cold fluid or this may crack the lens too).
Cheers, have a good weekend!
