fanuc c1500a power problems
(OP)
Hello and its nice to join all of you. My company has a Fanuc c-1500A on a 1993 Mazak Super Turbo X510-3D, and we had a third party come in and replace all the optics. We've done a flush using Citronox, and he has tuned the power supplies etc. But I am still having two issues that I am not sure if anyone else has seen.
One issue is the laser goes into Continuous Wave at 67% Duty and higher. The other issue is even though it does calibrate without alarm, the power coming from the laser is way higher than commanded. For instance, with power at 1,500 and duty at 50%, actual power is around 1,000 watts.
Has anyone else ran into this problem? If not are there any suggestions about what may be causing it?
Thank You

If you run it at 100% DC with 1500W, do you get 1500W? If you run it at 100% with 1000W, do you get 1000W? If so, then your power and power feedback is working fine.
When you command 80% DC for example, can you see on the Fanuc laser status screen that you do indeed have 80% DC? If that is good as well, then most likely power tables. You should then have somebody come in to calibrate the power tables.

I am thinking based off of what your telling me it is the power tables. I however have no idea where they lie in the machine. I'll have to get Fanuc out here to see what the deal is. Again, I appreciate all the work you have put into finding out what this problem may be.
