Problem with vacuum pump
(OP)
Hello friends and colleagues.
I work with laser machine Mazak Super Turbo - X510 Hi-Pro, 1997 , CO2 , 2000W. And faced with problems linked with vacuum pump. I can't start machine because pump put not enough pressure in system.
Order of start:
1. Turn mail power.
2. Turn cnc monitor.
3. Turn compressor.
4. Open laser gas.
5. Turn laser power.
Starts pressure pumping in vacuum system, in monitor i can see changing pressure it's start from 50.0 and up to 5.0 then mechanical booster changing gas
in laser oscillator.
6. Turn laser hight woltage.
In my case pressur up to point 5.5 and back.

RE: Problem with vacuum pump
And in one of the tube that connect with pump i can see oil!??

Bubbles are normal oil, in the tube is questionable. But I don't think it's a problem. The only time it is, would be when the phase is backwards on the incoming power.

Check it after 10 minutes, if the vacuum has not leaked more than 0.3 torr then it's ok.
I would check the vacuum pump, that oil should not be there especially if the hose goes straight to the resonator cavity.
