No beam · laser and power

Each line is the conclusion, or the action that settled it, from one real call-out. Where a note came out of a Chinese service record, the original is kept underneath.

  • Power reads normal and nothing comes out. Check the spot-shot parameter first — the source will not emit unless the pulse frequency is set correctly.

    检查点射参数的设置,只有在合适的参数下才能出光。推荐点射脉冲频率

  • Parameters and configuration all check out and it still will not emit. Take a multimeter to the PWM and DA outputs on the adapter board. P+/P- carry PWM: with DIP 1 up and 2 down, 100% PWM is 22 V and 50% is 11 V; with DIP 1 down and 2 up, 100% is 4 V and 50% is 2 V, and so on. D1 and D2 carry DA1 and DA2. The value shown in the control-card monitor must match what you measure — if it does not, compare the reading with the cable connected and disconnected to localise the fault.

    确认过参数和配置都正常后,如果还是无法出光,请拿出万用表测量转接板上的PWM输出信号和对应的DA输出信号。其中,P+和P-对应PWM输出信号,拨码1上2下时,100%的PWM信号对应的正常电压是22V,50%对应11V,依次类推。拨码1下2上时,100%的PWM信号对应4V,50%的PWM信号对应2V,依次类推。D1、D2分别对应的是DA1和DA2信号。控制卡监控显示值与实际测量值应该一致。如测量电压有问题,可以通过对比接线和不接线时候的测量电压值来排查问题。

  • Everything above checks out and the shutter still will not open — this is beyond the machine builder; escalate to the laser manufacturer.
    Original record

    如上述都检查设置正确还是无法打开光闸,请和IPG厂商联系。

  • The source emits even when no PWM modulation signal is present. That is a laser-side fault — have the laser vendor look at it.
    Original record

    在未收到pwm调制信号的情况下也会出光,请联系激光器厂家排查问题。

  • The laser never sees the adapter board's output signal. Check the signal wiring for poor contact; if it still fails, contact the laser vendor.
    Original record

    可以判断是激光器无法接受到转接板的输出信号。请检查信号的传输线路是否有接触不良,如无法解决问题,请联系IPG厂商。

  • If nothing else clears it, try a 1 kOhm resistor wired in parallel across P+ and P-.
    Original record

    如无法解决,可以尝试在p+和p-之间并联接一个1000欧的电阻。

  • External interference is corrupting the modulation signal the laser receives — inspect the modulation signal cable.
    Original record

    可能是外部干扰导致激光器接收的调制信号被影响,请检查激光器的调制信号线是否良好

  • On YLS sources an indicator lamp confirms the shutter has actually opened — use it to separate a control fault from a shutter fault.
    Original record

    对应YLS激光器有指示灯提示光闸已打开。

  • Newer sources may have changed their timing. Prefer network-communication control over the hardwired interface when retrofitting.
    Original record

    如果是新款激光器,可能存在时序上的变动,推荐使用网络通讯控制方式。

  • Beam drops out or a cut is skipped occasionally during a job — work back through the interlock, shutter and modulation chain rather than touching process parameters.
    Original record

    加工过程中偶尔出现断光或者漏切
