Below is the issue I am having, I made sure power was running to the laser and no settings were changed. This is a laser I have ran numerous times including this very day. The laser turns on but neither motor will engage and work towards limiting switches. I cannot get the laser to home or move in any direction.
Please help.
Thanks Michael Cole
ALARM:9
Homing fail. Could not find limit switch within search distance. Defined as 1.5 * max_travel on search and 5 * pulloff on locate phases.
[MSG:No Power Supply! Check TroubleShooting Section in User Manual.]
Either you haven’t plugged in your power supply, the power supply is bad, or you’re not getting power at the outlet. Check for any power failure conditions and retry.
Note that USB provides enough power to the controller to run the controller but not enough to power the stepper motors or laser module.
If the power supply that moves the motors goes bad, the motors won’t move enough to push the engrave head into the home position which results in the Error 9 Message.
Not all Error 9s (can’t arrive home) are power supply but many power supply failures are Error 9 (can’t arrive home).
If the motors move the engrave head then the controller may not be detecting the voltage. Checking the power supply with a cheap digital volt meter will tell you what’s happening.
Please post back here when you find the cause. We’d really like to know.
