Dépannage
Veuillez vous référer aux problèmes courants suivants et à leurs solutions potentielles :
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Qualité de gravure/découpe médiocre | Mise au point incorrecte, lentilles/miroirs sales, réglages de puissance/vitesse incorrects, problèmes de matériaux. | Perform autofocus, clean optics, adjust power/speed, ensure material is flat. |
| L'ordinateur ne répond pas | Emergency stop engaged, loose cables, software connection issues. | Check emergency stop, secure all connections, restart software/machine. |
| Alarme de surchauffe | 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. |
