    Laser took wrong path

    Hey laserdog. I did not know Amada lasers do that. Thanks

    Laser took wrong path

    From looking at your picture. It looks like you had a popup from that larger hole that caused the head to drag across the sheet making it lose it position. I have had this happen before on my Trumpf 2030 Lasers but never to where they did that much damage to the head. I do run at 550 in/min...

    Trumpf Laser, recovery after a E-Stop

    I have a 2030 it is a little tricky depending on where it is lost. Try to move the frame that is out of position with the switch elements Try doing a reboot on the machine. that will usually let it find itself

    Dust collector dust disposal

    I empty every day into a 55 gallon drum between my 4 machines and place the bag into our steel recycle bin. On the 4 Trumpf 2030 machines i have the bins are small, so daily is a must. I use a 3m half face mask

    Low power output - Trumpf resonator

    New beam trap has been installed getting 75% of my power back and no water leakage. However i keep getting a safety monitor error now, Replaced safety monitor that had the error and seems to have gotten worse. awaiting trumpf to respond to my call Has anyone had this error type on their...

    What software are you using??

    I use the trutops software suite for our trumpf lasers.

    Low power output - Trumpf resonator

    I had the same problem what I found with a Trumpf tech was that my beam trap has been leaking water and it got onto an internal mirror. They are making a new beam trap for my machine i will keep you informed

    DOES ANYONE recommend a nozzle distributor?????????

    You can try American photonics

    Laser Slat Contamination

    Just heard another way, was wondering if anyone has tried it. Floor wax on the slats when they are new?

    cutting parallelism

    it seems that your best line is that -3.2 you will have to focus the head to that point then your cuts should be better.

    cutting parallelism

    We are all are operators and have to take care of each other

    cutting parallelism

    That is the first time i have heard a someone say the focus test is out of useless. I just spoke to a friend that has a 3030 machine he said try to lower your o2 to .5 bar and also to try narrower beam What he said to do is set your zero with the caliper then run the focus test to see where...

    cutting parallelism

    Looking at your cut from the picture provided. it seems your alignment is off and the beam is shooting at an angle. IMO Possible when the auto las mirror was replaced it might not be seated correctly. I have never run into this much of a deviation before.

    Etching Issues!!!!!!!!!!!

    it also could be the thickness of the steel. i looked at my tech tables for aluminum and this is what i have, but i have never used them i gave you for mild steel. this would be 14 gu al cutting with shop air nozzle .200in laser power 260w gatting 200hz speed 100in/min gas 2.0bar mine is a...

    Etching Issues!!!!!!!!!!!

    What thickness of steel are you using what i have set on my 2k trumpf laser for etching is as follows nozzle standoff .2000in. laser power 160w gating freq 1000hz speed 150.0 in/min gas pressure 2.0bar i use this on thin 20 gauge steel

    how parameter works?

    Just spoke to trumpf applications here. and they said what you might want to do a focus rest ti get it better in line. and the frequency will only change the pulse and will slow the speed down, but would not really fix the cut. you might want to change the speed (slower) and also your gas...

    how parameter works?

    I run 4 Trumpf 2030 lasers, and the parameters should be sent to the machine if the programmer is using the Trumpf tops software. If you modify the nozzle distance from the material you risk the chance of loosing the cut, where that will change the focal distance of the laser. I also program...
