Hi there - Its been a little while since I've commented on anything as I mostly lurk in the shadows and read and read and read....and I really still have so much to learn its tough to feel like I can add more value than so many of you - but I wanted to thank those of you that do comment since I have learned so much from so many of you. Thank you.
The problem that I've run in to is with my 80-watt Ray Fine 1390 that I imported from Blanca last November. Aside from the normal growing pains and adjustments that go with a Chinese import things had been going fairly well until today when I was a third of the way through a cut file with 3 rows of text that I was cutting out of 1/8" baltic birch. Things seemed to be going ok - but when I went to pull the cuttings out of the machine only the top row had cut through - and the bottom two rows were not even close to cutting through. I know that most will think its an alignment issue (trust me i checked) - - but I am dead center on all planes - - I spent a long long time getting there - and i rechecked and its all still pretty perfect.
When I went to run further tests i noticed that my Ma reading at 60% power was only registering 8-10 Ma on my machine - which is about half of what I normally would see. When i went into the software and upped the power via RDWorks to 100% - the Ma reading only went up to 12 Ma....well below the 32 that I should be seeing at 100% power.
I went into the Vendor settings and checked to make sure the Min and Max were set at 1 and 99%. and they were.
I also puled out the Multimeter to make sure that 220v were still making it to the power supply and they were (line conditioned and steady at 222v)
What could be causing this?
I am at a total loss. What do you guys think?
I've emailed Blanca as well and will update this thread with her thoughts when I get them.
Thank you in advance.
Ryan
