Laser machine-Laser not firing

Post by PatrickHes »

Hey guys,

I have a laser machine and I'm having a problem with my laser cutter and can't figure out what is wrong. I bought the new laser machine about 10 months ago and this is the first major problem. The laser cutter will turn on, and I can move all axis, but the laser will not fire. Where should I be checking for loose wires/connections or fuses etc? Any help would be great, I really need to get the machine cutting again.

Thanks in advance

OK you don't have a tube or power supply problem. You will have to figure what switches you have and where they are. Normally these have continuity when "on" but it can be the other way also. Anyway you would be looking for a "state change". To test the lid switch and I would also bet the water flow,find the switches and measure with a volt/ohmmeter.
