Troubleshooting Laser Module Issues

The document provides troubleshooting steps for issues with laser modules, including checking focus, S-value in Lightburn, engraving parameters, and the condition of the window mirror. It also details how to inspect the laser module and its connections, as well as what to do if the laser does not emit light or if engraving marks are not present. Safety precautions are emphasized, including wearing protective goggles and monitoring the engraver during operation.

How to fix the problem of laser module

The failures of laser head engraving mark is shallow, the power is insufficient or the
laser does not emit light may be due to incorrect focus, mismatch of parameters and
materials, damage of laser driver board, laser module or motherboard, etc. Please
refer to the following steps to check.
1. First make sure the focus is correct.

The focal length of the 5w laser is 30mm, and the focal length of the 10w laser is
50mm. Loosen the thumb screw to allow the laser module to move up and down
freely. For RAY5 5W or 10W module, when adjusting the focus, note that the end
face of the focus column should be in contact with the bottom surface of the laser
head profile as shown below, rather than the end face of the sheet metal.

2. Check if the S value in Lightburn

That is click Lightburn-Edit-Device Setting and check whether the S-value MAX is
1000.

3. Check the parameters

To check whether the engraving parameters are correct, please refer to the link of
the parameter table:

For RAY5 5W or 10W laser module please refer to:

For RAY5 20W, B1 20W or B1 30W laser module please refer to:

For B1 40W laser module please refer to:

Regarding parameter settings, it should be noted that the default speed unit is
mm/min. If mm/s or inch/s is used as the unit, corresponding calculation conversions
are required. Taking 1000mm/min as an example：

1000mm/ min=10000÷60mm/s=16.67mm/s=10000÷25.4inch/min=39.37inch/min

For cutting thicker material, it needs to reduce the focal distance, that is, lowering
the laser module a certain distance after normal focus adjustment.

4. Check the window mirror

Check whether the window mirror of the laser head is contaminated. If there is
contamination, use a dust-free cloth dipped in alcohol to clean the lens or replace
the window mirror directly.

5. Check the laser module

1) Connect the laser cable to the laser module, and turn on the engraver. Check if
the indicator light shows red light, if there is no red light, turn off the engraver, check
whether the wiring of the laser head and the main board wiring are loose (as shown
by the red arrow,that are 12V and TTL terminals for RAY5 engravers, 24V and TTL
terminals for B1 engravers).

2) If during the engraving process, the main board of the laser module only lights up
the red light but not the blue light, the driver board is damaged and which needs to
be replaced.

3) If during engraving process, the red and blue lights are on and there is no blue
laser or no engraving marks, it means that the diode of the laser head is damaged.
Contact after-sales service support@[Link] and provide the screenshot of order
number.

Note: When checking and using laser engraver, please wear protective goggles and
avoid pointing the laser module directly at the body, and someone must be on
duty when engraver is working to avoid accidents.
