View Full Version : trouble with accuris

I have had an accuris for going on 5 years now. Have had some problems but were fixable.
It was engraving just fine and then it started engraving in the middle of a sentance very heavy, "melting the letters together". Called Tech, he had me check the tickle output, which is fine, now the printer version (have not heard back yet).
I checked the alignment and the light is scattered. I have aligned it many times but I cannot get the "scatter" to come together to the laser point.
The machine has been down all week, I have work piled and no solution in sight.
Has anyone had this problem?
Thank you in advance

Have you made sure all of the optics are clean? A dirty optic will cause major speckle...

Hi Dan,
Yes I clean my lenses often. It's not really speckly it's more "threaded or shattered"
I cannot get it to a sharp point. I have adjusted it many times and actually not too long ago and it has been fine. Then it is all of a sudden threaded light and will not engrave sharp in the middle of a sentence.
Thank you for your help

Sounds like a cracked lens or mirror.

What does the output look like directly from the laser head?
