Below are definitions of each parameter:

Speed: operating speed of the laser head in cutting
Power: adjust the minimum (unit: %) of laser power in operating the layer.
Corner Power: adjust power of laser head when its speed is the minimum in the variable speed
motion.
(Adjustment of the two parameters can ensure an unchanged strength of the laser in the process)
Overlap: closed figure may not be able to not be cut down due to the mechanical error. This
parameter helps to solve the problem, but it should not be too large. It is suggest to adjust
mechanical assemble precision to solve the problem.
Not Blow: not to blow in the process.
Blow while: blow when the laser in on, stop blowing when the laser is off. This function needs
hardware support.

the reason of the error and correct the operation or eliminate the interruption.
9.2 Soft Limit Stop
Reason: figure to process is beyond the range of the worktable. Usually it happens when the laser
head datum and there is no correct docking point for the laser head in the case of immediate
output.
Solution: move the laser head to make the figure inside the range of the worktable. You can also
uncheck the of the immediate output and download the processing data again.
9.3 Hard Limit Stop
Reason: user checks the immediate output when the laser head doesnt datum, and then the
processing range is beyond the worktable and stop when it gets limit signal. It will also happen
when there are interruption signal due to the sophisticated surrounding.
Solution: move the laser head to make the figure inside the range of the worktable. If it happens
during the processing and doesnt touch the switch, the reason is the interruption, please check the
ground wire.
9.4 Storage Overload Alarm
58
Reason:
1. Total number of the download files is over 32 which are the maximum of the storage.
2. The download file is larger than the storage capacity.
Solution: make sure the download file is not larger than the total storage capacity. Delete useless
processing files to release storage space.
9.5 Config Not Match Firmware
Reason: you didnt download the configuration file with the firmware you have updated.
Solution:
1. Open the install catalog of the application, run the version check program to check if the
version of the DLL matches the firmware or not. If not, contact the provider to get the matched
DLL.
2. Double click the application to download configuration.
9.6 DLL Not Match Firmware
Reason: the DLL used to generate the processing file dose not match the firmware.
Solution: see 10.1
9.7 Hardware Not Match Firmware
59
Reason: hardware does not support the firmware you have undated.
Solution:
Steps: 1. copy the new firmware file (XXXX.FWM and XXXX.HDW) to the root directory of the
U disk (FAT16 after formatting, it is suggested there are no other file in the U disk).
2. When the power of the MPC6515/35 is down, plug the U disk and then resume the power
provision. The indicator light on the MPC6515/35 main board will keep on after flashes twice
(2~5 seconds, depends on the size of the firmware), and the firmware is updating. If there is no
indicator light, judge the process by the introduction of the U disk. 6536 can be judged by the
indicator light.
3. D1 on the MPC6515 flashing quickly indicates the complete of the updating of the firmware; if
there is indicator light, judge the procedure by it. The procedure will take about 15 seconds.
4. Unplug U disk, MPC6515/35 will start the DSP firmware program normally.
If MPC6515/35 does not work after you unplug U disk, there may be error in the updating of the
firmware. You can repeat the above steps. If MPC6515/35 still does not work, contact the

support this function.
11.9 Backlash Compensation

In engraving of high speed, burr may appear in the processing edge due to the tightness of the belt
or the influence of the teeth space. It appears as below:
There is Backlash Compensation set in the Engrave Set of the Machine Set. The backlash can be
both negative and positive value. Change the engrave step to 2mm, backlash 1mm, and start
processing. If d increase, change it to a negative value; if d decreases, increase the number,
gradually d will near 0 after several adjustment. The value of the Backlash Compensation differs
from different speed; you should to set it according to different speed.
11.10 RF Tube Setting

11.10.1 When use MPC6515, plug the JP2 jump line, plug JP6 to the 1, 2 lead foot, and make sure
the U15 chip is the TL5615. No change when use MPC6535.
11.10.2 Y2 terminal of the MPC6515 links the ground wire and PWM lead foot; Y5 terminal of
the MPC6535 links both ground wire and PWM lead foot.
11.10.3 Set the Step03Card_0in the configuration file syscfg.ini. LaserLowerPulse is pre-
burning frequency and LaserLowerPower is duty ratio. These two parameters should set according
to the parameters of the RF tube you use.
11.10.4 You should download new configuration file after setting the parameter.
11.11 Laser Power Compensation Setting

When the laser head is processing in a far away place from the laser emitting position, you need to
compensate power due to the long distance. It appears as below. Set the Step03Card_0 in the

11.12 Grade Adjustment
Voltage Current Laser power grade

MPC6515/35 Laser power Laser tube material
0~5V 0~20mA
MPC6515/35 output simulate signal can control the average voltage varies from 0~5V. Power
supply of the laser will output 0~20mA current to the laser tube to control the laser strength
according to the signal. Different laser strength will engrave different depths on the processing
materials, thus formation of the engraving grade.
Ideal situation: MPC6515/35 output 0~5V voltage will linearly control the uniform change of the
engrave depth.
However, this can not be achieved due to the nonlinear factors existing in the grade engraving
system. Therefore, Grade Power function is added in the system software. Grade power is divided
into 20 grades, corresponding to 20 depths. Linear relations between the engrave depths and the
power grade can be achieved after respectively setting grade power of all the grades. The grade
engraving result will be improved.
You can test the relations between the set value and the engrave depth by the experimental method
in the grade power set of the software. Eg: after you set the grade power engrave a long bar with
20 different depths.
1 2
19 20
Users can change the set of the grade power set according to the actual engraving depth, until the
changing of the engrave depth is uniform to improve the result of the grade engrave result.
Please contact the provider for more details.
11.13 Laser Machine Ground

11.13.1 MPC6535 Case
MPC6535 is the control core of the laser machine system; you must exclude the interruption from
MPC6535. MPC6535 should have a fixed ground point beside the 24V input terminal.
11.13.2 Metal Case of Laser Power Supplier
Laser power supplier of the CO2 glass laser tube will generate tens of the thousands voltage and it
will be a great interruption resource. Charges gathered on the metal case of the laser power
supplier will even strike a light on the power supplier. At home, GND on the control terminal of
the CO2 glass laser tube is linked to the metal case to allow the interruption signal pass, and then
the signal will be turbulent.
11.13.3 Metal Control Cabinet of Laser Machine
68
MPC6535, driver, switch power supply and even laser power supply are installed on the metal
control cabinet of the laser machine. In the case of laser radiation and external interruption, it will
be electrified and the people will feel numb when touch it and it may even sparks. Electrostatic
charge on the metal case will release to the controller through the cable and make the control
turbulent.
11.13.4 Metal Case of PC

Usually PE terminal of the Computer which are the power supply are not connected to the ground.
No filtering function of the computer power supply will make the metal case electrified. Computer
is linked to the USB cable of the laser controller and then GND of the laser power supply is linked
with GND of the Computer.
11.14 FQA
11.14.1 Superposition appears in grade engraving
This always occurs when the figure is very small and the set value in the Grade width is too big.
Please input a smaller number in Grade width.
11.14.2 Figure can only be moved toward one direction. Click Shift or Ctrl will do.
11.14.3 PLT figure cant be engraved
Reason: the figure is unclosed or overlapped. Please use the data check tool to check if there are
such occasions.
11.14.4 Size of the output of engrave/cut is not the same with the figure.
Please adjust the Pulse Unit.
11.14.5 When engraving, the edge is not in order
This may happen when you use DSP5.3 engrave software. It is mainly caused by the backlash.
You can adjust it as follow:
1. Draw a rectangle, set the 0.5mm in Laser Engrave and Engrave Step.
Theoretically, the engrave result will be ok, that is, edges of the odd lines are in order and edges of
the even lines are in order. But some odd lines and even lines may also be in order.
2. Open Set Engrave Options, you will see different processing parameters for
different speed. But set values in the Backlash are all 0. You can set the value according to the
actual situation, both negative and positive.
3. If you require a better engrave result, choose one direction laser on. Uncheck
the Bi-Dir will do. But this will decrease the process efficiency.
11.14.6 X-axis or Y-axis doesnt move (MPC6515)
