Hi.

Our air assist unit is on all the time. Its not done this before. Any ideas?

How powerful should the air flow be? Is there a simple measure of flow? When I unclip the blue hose from the back of the laser there appears to be very little.

Any ideas?

Hi

Will do, what cost for a new tube?

It may be worth checking your optics & focus height first though before ordering a service exchange unit.

Ok, but how do I do that?

Hi,

Laser not cutting well at all now. Its 8 years old we think. Its 30W.

Do they really run out? If so how much for a new tube? How many new tubes have been fitted?

Thanks.

We have upgraded our fuses to 6.3 amp. BUT they keep blowing, so we have no air assist.

Any ideas on the problem / fix please?

Laser = VL300

Thanks

I was cutting some corrugated card after school the other night and I noticed that the hoeycomb bed actuallu caught fire = NOT the card!! I opened the lid and removed the card - only small flames. BUT in noticed the flame was slowly spreading across the honeycomb left to right. As I said, only small...

Hello We have a VL300 and have taken a hose from the extraction outlet through a "hole in the wall". We have removed the charcoal filter. The extraction is now brilliant compared to extracting into the rrom. However the screen shots tell us that the life of this filter is still decreasing when it is...

ok, all fixed, dont have a reason, but unplugged and replugged everything and then bingo!

ps, what do the green , yellow and red lights mean?

Hi VL300 no longer homes when switching on and completing work. In fact machine now does not work. The homing is simulated within the laser software but not physically home, ie lower and raise the bed to the prescribed height. I have also noticed that within the laser software that has green amber a...

vl300, original software that came with the machine

The materials selection dialogue box defaults to inches, how do I change it to default to mm?

Hi I have been advised by a Denford rep that I can remove all filters and run a tube from the bottom extraction port through the wall to extract to the outside and the machine will work well and will never need a filter again. Given the rising costs of filters and the falling funding of my dept this...

so we now do what?

ok all that done, amber and green lights flash still no compressor.

the yellow light flashes but i dont see life in the green.

fuses checked - both ok

I am talking about the external extractor fan unit that connects to the VL300 via usb abd a blue air hose.

The extractor fan on the extractor unit suddenly does not appear to work or runs at a very slow speed. All connections are secure.

Can u advise?

Just looking at the site & have become slightly confused by all the software / drivers available. What is the latest for a VL 300 running on XP?

Found the fault myself!!

One of the magnets on the lid had fallen out. It appears that these magnets operate a reed switch when the lid is closed. The reed switch acts as a cut out / safety switch - no magnet or lid open - no cutting!
