Dave,

With the understanding that this particular tube may not be servicable/rechargable, is there a "new" replacement tube available and at approximately what cost? Or will the entire laser have to be scrapped?

Thanks for your participation and help in the forum...

UncleSteve,

There aren’t any “new” replacement laser tubes available for the ULS-25E. We have a very limited supply of original, remanufactured DC Synrad 25-watt tubes available for exchange at an approximate cost of $2,750 plus shipping.

Regards,
Dave Wilhite

David,

Now that we are on topic of laser tubes I have question regarding my Universal V-400 40w. When lasering gold or silver plastic ply I get faint mark at left and right of each line of engraving about 1" away from ends of lines of text. Already tried to adjust thickle (factory set at 5khz) down to 1 without favorable results. Do you think it could be tube needing recharge, It is original tube from 2000 and not serviced to date.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Tony

Okay... just so I am clear..... Whoever buys this machine will have it for the remaining life of the tube and at that point it becomes a door stop.

I was hoping there was another tube that would work in the machine giving it a life of more than 6-12 months.

Steve,

With 6-12 months of laser life, if a person hit the ground running, with a good product and marketing plan, that may be enough time (and money) to step up to a new (or newer) machine.

A little bit of a stretch, but I thought a "tube is half full" comment was in order. :-)

UncleSteve,

You can still purchase a "new" Synrad Laser Tube if needed for approximate cost of $6000.00 to $7000.00.

This would be directly from Synrad.

Tony,

It is possible that the tube is needing recharged, however you should adjust the tickle width and leave the KHz alone. Try this setting

5KHz and 1us.

Are you changing this on the tube or in the system menu?

Thank you! That was basically my question.... Even though it is not a cheap fix, the system could still be productive and not landfill.

Tony,

I agree with Mike, it sounds like your laser may need recharging.

Remember, you're always welcome to call the ULS technical support department at 480-609-0297 with any additional questions you may have.

All the best,
Dave Wilhite

Thank's David,

If the tube requires rechargeing, what is turnaround timewise to have it serviced, and the cost to have it done.

Tony,

I am attempting to assist David here because he is not a "Service Tech" he would need to ask the service dept to answer these questions.

#1 the cost to recharge the 40 watt laser tube is $950.00+shipping the lead time should not be to bad however I can not answer that question. You should contact the service dept. at 480-609-0297 they would be able to give you the shipping times. Typically if you ordered one they will send it to you and then you will send the bad one back to them and then you will be charged the re-charge cost + shipping. All of the ULS tubes are completely re-built and upgraded to current standards this includes electronics as well as the gases.

#2 change the system tickle setting to (5kHz and 0us) if the system has problems firing then you are better than 70% that the tube needs to be re-charged. If this corrects the bleeding issue then leave it at that setting.

If it does not correct the bleeding issues then we can help to adjust it on the tube to see if this corrects the problem.

Mike, I will give it a try tomorrow, it is bit late now and family wants to be together for Easter Friday. I talked to my distributor just yesterday about this and he said it could be tickle adjustment or some dip-switch settings incorrect. I do appreciate your help and most likely will need your guidance to determin exact cause of problem. In case you need more information I can tell you that system is running with windows XP and print driver V1.07E. What is most up to date driver for V-400 machine? Tony
