5. Käyttö

5.1 Materiaalien yhteensopivuus

The 1064nm infrared laser module offers significant advantages in engraving metal and plastic surfaces, which is often challenging for conventional diode blue lasers. It can engrave materials such as:

  • Kupari
  • Alumiini
  • Musta akryyli
  • Valkoinen muovi
  • Bass Plywood
  • And various other metals and plastics.

5.2 Engraving Detail and Efficiency

The choice between the 1W (R1) and 2W (R2) module depends on your specific needs:

  • LT-R1 (1W): Offers more detailed engraving.
  • LT-R2 (2W): Provides faster engraving speeds.

esimample, engraving a complex design might take 6 hours with the R1 module at 1200mm/min, while the R2 module could complete it in 4 hours at 1600mm/min, both at 100% power and 0.025mm interval (DPI: 1016).

6. Huolto

  • Jäähdytysjärjestelmä: The module is equipped with a powerful fan for efficient heat dissipation. Regularly check the fan for any obstructions and ensure it is clean to maintain optimal cooling performance.
  • Linssien puhdistus: Periodically inspect the laser lens for dust or debris. Clean gently with a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth designed for optics. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
  • Yleinen puhdistus: Keep the exterior of the laser module clean and free from dust and engraving residue. Use a soft, dry cloth.
  • Varastointi: When not in use, store the laser module in a dry, dust-free environment.

7. Vianmääritys

7.1 No Laser Output

  • Tarkista kaikki kaapeliliitännät varmistaaksesi, että ne ovat kunnolla kiinni.
  • Varmista, että virtalähde on kytketty oikein ja että se antaa määritetyn jännitteen.tage (24 V tasavirta).
  • Ensure the engraving software settings are correct and the laser is enabled.
  • Check for any error indicators on the laser module or your engraving machine.

7.2 Poor Engraving Quality

  • Painopiste: Re-check the focus of the laser module using the quick focusing bar. Incorrect focus is a common cause of poor quality.
  • Nopeus-/tehoasetukset: Adjust the engraving speed and power settings in your software. Different materials require different parameters.
  • Materiaali pinta: Ensure the material surface is clean and flat.
  • Lens Condition: Inspect the laser lens for dirt or damage and clean if necessary.

7.3 Ylikuumeneminen

  • Ensure the cooling fan is operating correctly and is not obstructed.
