Laser Firing During Axis Movement - Aeon Nova 14

[Lenserver (Len Leng)]

Hello,

I have an Aeon Nova 14 laser machine, and I’m experiencing an issue where the laser fires while the axis is moving. Here are the details:

• Software Used: LightBurn
• Problem: The laser turns on during movement, which is not the intended behavior.
• Steps Taken:
  • Checked power and speed settings.
  • Inspected the machine for loose connections.
  • Verified that the lens and mirrors are clean.

Questions:

1. How can I disable the laser from firing during travel in LightBurn?
2. Are there any specific settings I should check to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your assistance!

How can I disable the laser from firing during travel in LightBurn

You can’t, because the symptoms indicate a failing HV power supply ignoring its Enable input, which seems to be a disturbingly common failure mode, even for new machines:

Why am I getting lines from home position and between objects

I have been using lightburn a couple months now and thought I was getting the hang of it but I have run into a problem that I don’t know how to resolve. I recently updated to version 1.4.04 and when I bring up a previously designed object in lightburn it looks fine but If I bring up the preview screen or actually try to burn the object I’m getting a line from the home position to the start of the object and also lines connecting all the parts of the objects. In other words, rather than just burn…

I am getting clean cut marks throughout my burn

My first project turned out fantastic; however, on my second and third projects, I have clean cut marks in throughout my engraved burns. How do I get rid of the cut marks?

Replacing the supply is the only solution.

I have replaced a brand new controller and it still doing same thing. I don’t think it’s the power supply. It’s could be the signal input. I will double check.

• replaced a brand new controller
• don’t think it’s the power supply

Definitely let us know what you find, because if it’s not the power supply it’ll be a new data point!
