    ByStar 3015: Burring on Parts during Y-Axis Transition

    @jj1210: Sorry I didn't put the information in. Its a Bystar 3015 with a BTL 4000 resonator. @krugtech: I agree with you on the latter. We need someone here that actually knows how to keep one of these running - not just an operator. I would say that our air supply is sketchy at best. The...

    ByStar 3015: Burring on Parts during Y-Axis Transition

    Its been happening on and off for a while, but I would say for the last month it has been a consistant issue. The machine has been up and down for the last 6 months (Repairs and workload). The optics were just serviced two or three months ago. They found a decent amount of water in the beam...

    ByStar 3015: Burring on Parts during Y-Axis Transition

    Hello there. Back again with strange issues. I have noticed that aluminum parts (1/8" and 1/4") seem to always develop a burr on any path that uses the Y-axis. As in any curve or angled section has a consistant burr, but any horizontal (X-Axis Only) section will cut clean. I have attached a...

    Bystronic 3015: OverCurrent and Tube Out NR Errors

    Just got off the phone with Bystronic. It was suggested that we need to investigate our vacuum pump for oil level and if there are any leaks in the system (Vacuum test for 30+ mins). Another path to take is to check the resonator tubes during operation. Tech said that it could be a issue with...

    Bystronic 3015: OverCurrent and Tube Out NR Errors

    I have been digging around and I may have found a lead. It seems others are having similar issues with the 3015 and the 4400 (OverCurrent Errors) that have been caused by running at 100% power. I have been told that since we are cutting .080 aluminum as our thinnest and .375 aluminum as our max...

    Bystronic 3015: OverCurrent and Tube Out NR Errors

    Hello again. I am happy to say that this forum helped us get to the root cause of our cutting problems (Heavy burr) and today we are cutting with minimal to zero burring on 1/8" and less aluminum! Lets see if this community of experts can diagnose this one. Our laser is throwing the errors...

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    @krugtech - I will seek the answer to that question and get back to you. Thanks for the tip!

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    Update from the Front! After increasing our power to 100%, we are able to drop the focal point further into the material. This produced significantly less burr and even clean edges on certain parts. We ran several trials throughout the day and were able to replicate this cut quality with each...

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    Thank you. I will look into that. Turns out that Bystronic is having a "Mid-September Parts Sale" from the 15th thru the 30th. Might be able to try a couple of different nozzles :)

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    @drossfree - Could you provide me with an example nozzle? Part number and what not.

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    Thanks for your responses @drossfree - I will see that our parameters are switch to 100% when cutting and compare the results. I had always thought that as well. I tried a tape shot with the larger nozzle and still received an oval shape. The last time we had bystronic come down this was...

    Bystronic 3015: Parameters for Cutting Aluminum

    Hello, I am in charge of the daily use of our Bystronic 3015 and seeking help with cutting aluminum. Our stock for the laser consists of .080" (2.5mm) , .125" (3mm), and .250" (6mm) 5052 alloy - 4'x10' and 5'x10'. Please refer to the lower part of this post for machine specs. Currently, we...
