Proper maintenance helps prevent issues and ensures consistent, high-quality results from your engraver.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter and provides solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine not turning on / No power. | Power cable disconnected, power supply issue. | Ensure power cable is securely connected. Check power outlet. Verify power supply unit is functioning. |
| Laser not firing or weak output. | Incorrect focus, low power setting, dirty lens, laser module issue. | Adjust laser focus. Increase power setting in software. Clean the laser lens. If problem persists, contact support. Note that the 1600mW laser is optimized for engraving and lighter cutting, not heavy-duty cutting. |
| Machine stops unexpectedly during operation. | Safety features activated (e.g., Active Position Protection, Flame Detector). | Check for unauthorized movement, flames, or computer/USB connection issues. Address the cause and restart the operation. |
| Engraving quality is poor or inconsistent. | Incorrect speed/power settings, material not flat, dirty lens, loose belts. | Adjust software settings. Ensure material is flat and secured. Clean laser lens. Check and tighten belts if loose. |
| Missing parts upon delivery. | Packaging error or transit damage. | Immediately contact Ortur customer support with your order details and a list of missing components. |
| Difficulty with software or no instructions. | Lack of familiarity with laser software, missing documentation. | Refer to the official Ortur website for comprehensive user manuals, software guides, and video tutorials. Many online communities also offer support for LaserGRBL and LightBurn. |
