I have recently gotten to the point where I need to clean most of my mirrors. Does anybody here do all the cleanings by themselves or does everyone pay somebody to come in and clean them all. I am looking at
-output mirror
-folding mirror
-rear mirror
-shutter mirror
-B.P.L.U mirror
all of...
Does anybody have any experience cutting delrin on a laser before? we have experimented with trespa in the past but never something like this. Looking for cut condition input.
Thanks
I have just started getting this alarm in the middle of running a sheet of parts. My manual says, "If you get this alarm, CONTACT AMADA" along with every other alarm in the book. Does anybody know what is actually failing in the machine that causes this alarm? I would rather not call in the...
I know that this is not a laser problem. Although I am hoping that someone in here also works with an Amada Coma turret. Or at least could point me in the direction of the correct forum to post in. I currently have a large air bubble in my auto lubrication system, but I cannot figure out a...
Recently I have noticed that my AO mirror doesn't stay at a setting consistently. When I am cutting along the edge of parts, intermittently, I can see the gauge on the mirror going up and down. It will bounce between 2 and 4.
I am unsure of why it would be doing that. It seems as though it...
What exactly is the trick to getting high pressure to work correctly. I can't seem to get my pressure any higher than 1.05 mega pascals. The book calls for a 3.0 nozzle but I can't get anywhere close to the pressure required with that nozzle(book calls for roughly 1.5 MpA). I have to switch...
I need to manually return my B-axis to home position after the batteries died. Is there any parameter that holds that physical value anywhere on this machine? If i can find that, then i can manually return it to the reference point.
This is a simple question that everyone can answer. How fast, generally, do you guys cut 16 GA CRS. We have been doing a major move and we are just setting up our laser again. We wanted to find our how fast our machine should be running. That way we can figure out what we can optimize on it...
After starting maintenance yesterday, we made it through all our cleanings and went to do a mode burn afterwards. no luck. figured out that the shutter key wasn't opening and closing the shutter, only turning the hiene off and on. Where is a good starting point for troubleshooting this? Or...
Does anybody know what parameter to change in order to have a quick shutdown instead of the usual 15-20 min shutdown. We are doing maintenance and the amada tech told us he won't tell us the parameter because we cancelled a service call. and insight would be greatly appreciated
We have an Amada FO 3015 laser and we were wondering what other people use for cut conditions for 1/2" steel. Our cut has been inconsistent to say the least. The Amada manual that come with our laser says that we need to use the WACS. Although we don't have anything here setup for the water...
We have been running out Amada FO-3015 laser and keep getting a z-wire break alarm. I know what is wrong and I know how to fix it. BUT........Is there a different way to make the connection between the wire and the laser head? Our connection just gets so loose using it the way it is. I'm not...
Hey can anybody help me with some forming issues. We are trying to form some 1/2 plate and no matter what we do it cracks. The only thing that seems to work is grinding out the stress point before forming. Is there a specific way to avoid the cracking all together? If anybody can help I...
We are having some issues with our front clamping vise. The vise will not open or close yet when I use the close button the light comes on saying that it is fully closed. There is nothing stuck in the vise and the whole machine was cleaned recently. The hydraulic fluid is full and the other...
I just was looking for some help with cutting .060 Aluminum. We have tried using the shop gas and nitrogen neither has been successful. Usually I can cut one or two good parts then they start to become "welded" in to the sheet. It seems as though it only happens the final inch before...
