Fehlerbehebung
Beachten Sie die folgenden häufig auftretenden Probleme und deren mögliche Lösungen:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Mangelhafte Gravur-/Schnittqualität | Incorrect focus, dirty lens/mirrors, incorrect power/speed settings, material issues. | Perform autofocus, clean optics, adjust power/speed, ensure material is flat. |
| Maschine reagiert nicht | Emergency stop engaged, loose cables, software connection issues. | Check emergency stop, secure all connections, restart software/machine. |
| Überhitzungsalarm | Insufficient water flow, high ambient temperature, clogged chiller. | Check water level, ensure proper ventilation, clean chiller filters. |
| Banding in Engraving | High speed, low DPI, material not flat. | Reduce speed, increase DPI, ensure material is perfectly flat on the workbed. |
