3.3 Equipment debugging
After installation, equipment commissioning and processing test are required. The equipment commissioning
mainly performs condition testing of each module, including motion module, laser module and electrical I/O
module.
3.3.1 Switching sequence
The main power switch is affixed with description of switching sequence.
The switching on sequence:
Main power switch Motion system power buttonLaser system power button
The switching off sequence is reverse, as follows:
Laser system power button Motion system power button Main power switch
First insert the main power wire (in the control cabinet) into the socket, insert the plugs of the chiller,
fan, and air pump, connect the power and then toggle the main switch to the ON state to power on the
device.
Fan power switch can be turned on or off according to needs.
When the above steps are finished, the equipment is turned on; the shutdown steps are reverse.
Please turn on/off the equipment as required, or else it may cause equipment malfunction.
3.3.2 Movement debugging
The movement debugging is mainly used to test whether the state of each motion axis of the equipment is
normal. The movement debugging has been done in the factory. If no accident occurs in the transportation and
installation process, the equipment wouldn’t have problem in movement. Below is the description in aspect of
motor shaft movement, stroke, limit and reset, straightness and squareness test.
3.3.2.1 Motor shaft movement
After powering on, start the computer and run SmartCarve4.3. If the software is set to reset automatically,
the resetting starts. In standby mode, press the four direction keys on the control panel to control the movement
of the cutting head. If the movement in the four directions is normal, the motor movement in X -axis and Y -axis is
normal. If you find any problem in motor shaft movement, please contact our customer service personnel
SmartCarve4.3.
3.3.2.2 Stroke, limit and reset
Different models of machine are with different working breadth, and setting stroke of each shaft of the
machine will play the function of breadth protection (equals to software limit). The travel parameters for each
axis have been set up. Improper travel settings may cause the equipment unable to work in full breadth or cutting
head over-limit and collision.
Due to the less difference caused during production and assembly of the equipment, the actual strike of each shaft
on the same type of machine may be with a small difference. Stroke setting is subject to the actual stroke.
