I asked about this once before and I know it's basically cut it at your own risk. But what I'm wondering is does anyone know why we could cut brass all the time with our 1500 watt CO2 laser, an LCE 655, but not with an FOM II 3015 nt that is 4000 watts and also a CO2 laser? Boss came up to me...
Hello again. My nozzle alignment tape shots are looking like obrounds. It only happens with the 7.5" lens. The 5" is fine.
The last time I did it the 1st shot was round but after I adjusted it, it came out like the pictures. I tried changing nozzles. Put a new lens in. Put a different size...
We need to change our vac pump oil and filter & turbo blower oil. The alarm gives us 500 hours to do it or the laser won't run anymore. We can have Amada do it or do it ourselves and save a bunch of money. No AMP or Warranty on the laser anyway. We changed the oil in our old laser before. An LCE...
Morning. Yesterday for no apparent reason, anything I cut with nitro was cutting horrible in spots. I changed the nozzle, realigned it, changed gas bottles, try both 5 & 7.5 in lenses. SS, crs, galv & alum all cut worse than normal. As you can see from the pictures it's not good. Didn't change...
Our head sensor isn't working right. Has anyone ever cut everything out with the trace off just to keep cutting parts until the head is fixed?
What really sucks is our laser is only a little over a year old.
Has anyone gotten a sv0436 z soft thermal alarm? The laser operator said the head got hung up on a slug. Is there a way to clear it?
FOM2 NT 4000 watt. Thanks.
Just wondering what everyone else does when determining the order in which parts are cut. Inside geometry gets cut out 1st, that's a no brainer, but do you make sure after a part is cut that the head doesn't go back over it? Do you just hit the shortest route button and let it go at that? Do you...
What is the smallest tap hole anyone has been able to consistently cut in 1/2" steel? 8-32, 6-32, 10-32? Would a better grade of steel help much? FOM2 3015 nt 4k.
I have AP100 - 2013.05. I used to write the g code for an LCE 655 and it worked great. Now I'm writing code for an FO and when it writes the code it puts an M00 after every M104. For the life of me I can't figure out why. It's easy to get rid of them in my editor, just tell it to erase all the...
Hi All. Well, our shop is finally moving into the 21st century. In 1995 we got a new LCE 655. This year it finally died for good. Our owner has purchased an FOM2 3015 nt co2 with a AMNC controller from Schumburg(sp) of the floor. I am the programmer for the laser and although I won't be running...
