8.3.2 Not Cutting Through the Material
Issue
The engraver won’t fully and effectively
cut through the material as expected.
Solution
Check the Processing
Parameters
For the materials suggested in this manual, you can choose the
recommended parameter values for cutting.
For those not suggested, you can get the ideal parameter values after
several tests.
Check the Material
Distance/Thickness
Value
Check if the material thickness/distance is out of the standard range of
the engraver.
Check the Mirrors and
the Focal Lens for
Stains
See
§7.2.2
Cleaning the Camera, Mirrors, and Focus Lens (Page 81).
Check the Power of the
Laser Tube
It is common that the power of the CO
2
laser tube degrades over time.
You can try the following methods to improve the performance of the
cutting process: increase the power, lower the speed, and increase the
processing pass.
If the power drops drastically, have a technician replace the laser tube.
Increase the airflow
rate
Adjust the airflow of the air duct
by pressing Fast on the remote
control.
Check the Focal Lens
Installation
When the focal lens is not installed properly, the laser spot will become
larger, decreasing cutting performance.
Remove the focal lens and install it again. See
§7.2.2
Cleaning the
Camera, Mirrors, and Focus Lens (Page 81).
