Grinding in home position

just bought laser downloaded software and it goes to home and sits and grinds

Given that we don’t know which laser you have, it’s hard to be more specific, but:

  • The controller is apparently configured to automatically home when it’s started
  • The machine does not have home switches
  • or At least one of the home switches is not working / wired correctly

This is written for Sculpfun machines, but will give you an idea of the possibilities:

If the controller reports an Alarm 9 (visible in the Console window), that’s most likely what’s going on.
