Updated Jul 11,2024
Updated Jul 11,2024

Issue description

When using the automatic measurement feature, you may encounter one of the following scenarios, both indicating a measurement failure. Please follow the corresponding troubleshooting methods based on the specific error message.

Scenario 1:

XCS popped up an error message: "The material is too close to the processing module and the distance cannot be measured. Please move it farther from the processing module."

Possible Causes and Solutions:

Cause 1: 

The distance sensor probe is stuck.

Solution:

  • Remove the laser module.
  • Manually press the probe to check if it rebounds smoothly.
  • If the probe is stuck, clean it with a tissue moistened with a small amount of alcohol and see if the issue is resolved.

Cause 2: 

Material exceeds the maximum processing thickness and touches the laser module.

Solution:

  • Use a riser for processing.
  • If the material thickness exceeds the maximum processing thickness with the riser, adjust or replace the material.

Scenario 2:

XCS popped up an error message: "The material is too far away from the processing module and the distance cannot be measured. Please raise it closer to the processing module."

Possible Cause and Solution:

Cause:

The distance between the material and the laser module exceeds the maximum measurable distance, preventing the distance sensor probe from making contact with the material surface.

Solution:

  • Refer to the processing range guidelines on the right side of the riser.
  • If the laser module in its lowest position still cannot touch the material, try raising the material or adjusting the height setting.
