172 Moving objectsTroubles Causes MeasuresMarking cannot be done. Encoder signal is off. Check for proper connection to encoder.Marking is sometimesskipped.(E800 occurs.)Marking trigger signal is enteredbefore current marking isfinished.• Increase scan speed setting of laser marker.• Decrease delay distance setting of laser marker.• Reduce feeder speed.• Increase marking interval (interval between objects onfeeder).Characters unreadableFeed direction is not correct. Match feed direction with laser marker operation.Speed changes at conveyorjunction.If conveyors are coupled, avoid marking near conveyorjunction.Actual speed and preset speedfor feeding objects are differentdue to slippage of objects.Remove cause of object slippage.Pulse setting of encoder is notcorrect.Measure the number of encoder pulses and adjust“Number of encoder pulses”.Encoder is out of order. Check encoder for proper function.Marking position isunstable.Positional misalignment is likelyto occur due to meanderingmotion of conveyor.Secure objects to prevent misalignment.Marking character pitchis unstable.The line speed at the markingposition is different from thespeed at the installation site ofthe encoder.Place the encoder as close as possible to the markingposition.Decrease the encoder resolution to block the effect ofthe line speed fluctuation.Note that the minimum value of the encoder pulse shouldbe 10 P/mm.Character is partiallychipped.Obstacle hinders laser beam. Remove obstacle between head of laser marker andobject.For LP-M series:The marking target objectmovement timing is notsynchronized with thedisplacement sensor triggeroutput timing.Confirm the displacement sensor detection position andthe displacement sensor trigger timing.Confirm the displacement sensor specifications andmatch the signal output timing to the marking triggersignal timing.For LP-M series:Output signal of thedisplacement sensor is notstable.Confirm the installation status and check if thedisplacement sensor is receiving the impact of vibrationor the like.Confirm the output signal of the displacement sensor tocheck if it is being affected by noise.ME-LPMSZ-SR-9
