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.<br /> Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Tony</p><hr /><a name="a6558_6"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.6">#6</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: David Wilhite (DAVID-ULS)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.4">#4</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> 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.<br /> <br /> I was hoping there was another tube that would work in the machine giving it a life of more than 6-12 months. <hr /><a name="a6558_7"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.7">#7</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.6">#6</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> Steve,<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> A little bit of a stretch, but I thought a "tube is half full" comment was in order. :-) <hr /><a name="a6558_8"></a><p><b>From: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.8">#8</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.6">#6</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> <p>UncleSteve,</p> <p>You can still purchase a "new" Synrad Laser Tube if needed for approximate cost of $6000.00 to $7000.00.</p> <p>This would be directly from Synrad.</p> <hr /><a name="a6558_9"></a><p><b>From: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.9">#9</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Tony (ANTE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.5">#5</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> <p>Tony,</p> <p>It is possible that the tube is needing recharged, however you should adjust the tickle width and leave the KHz alone.

That was basically my 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.</p> <p>#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.</p> <p>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.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 6 Apr 2007 by MIKEMAC</p> <hr /><a name="a6558_15"></a><p><b>From: Tony (ANTE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.15">#15</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: laserman (MIKEMAC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6558.14">#14</a>] 6 Apr 2007</p> 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?
