Hello folks! (AtomStack P7 40) So everytime I try to home the laser, it makes a loud cracking noise and it doesn’t go to home position, it moves to a random place, also when I press Show Last Position, the indicator is outside the working area (Shown in the picture). Every time i try to home, i either get Alarm 9 or Alarm 1.
Also when I press “Get position” in the Move window, it gives me X: -300 Y: -300, it never goes to X0 Y0
I can’t do anything with the machine, I’m stuck completely. I
I tried everything, restart windows, reset to factory settings, and nothing.
Limit switches are working fine, everytime I manually click them, the console shows they are transmiting information.
Does the engraver home toward the limit switches?
If no, the switches are placed incorrectly, or the engraver is set up incorrectly.
If yes…
There is a special ‘back-off’ move that happens when the engraver triggers the limit switch.
If the switch does not trigger, the ‘back-off’ won’t happen and it will continue to proceed toward the switch even if the engraver has reached the end of travel.
If you don’t see the ‘Back-off’ either the switch has failed or the switch is placed in a way that places it out of reach not allowing it to be tripped.
A loud cracking noise may indicate mechanical binding or other mechanical concern.
