I just started getting a beeping tone when I am vectoring with my one month old ULS VLS230. It doesn't beep all of the time. On curves and rounded places there is no beep. It is only when it cuts straight lines that are more than one inch long that the beeping starts. It goes back off when it comes to something round like a heart shape or a circle.
The techs at ULS told me it was an "overheating warning beep" or maybe they said "thermal overload warning", I can't remember which, and that my battery might be running low so I went through two brand new batteries that were measuring 9.2 volts and that didn't fix it. They told me to reinstall the driver software and the control panel software, I did, and it is still doing it. It was running fine until this morning. It happens on any file I run. I wasn't able to get back with the techs today for more suggestions from them. They are trying to be helpful but their first two suggestions didn't fix the problem.
I am concerned about a couple of things. Is something going on that would be harmful to my laser? I bought this machine as a tool for my business and I sure hope it is not something that gets temporarily fixed and then crops up after my warranty expires.
If anybody has experienced this with their ULS I would appreciate any advice on what is happening and how to fix it.
I am facing a trade show deadline and I need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Joe
