Hi to All,
Our Epilog Helix 60W Laser stopped working today, and has left us in a real predicament with jobs to do in the next few days.
I was using it, finished a job and then turned it off as normal.
About an hour later had to do another small job.
Turned the machine on, sent the job to the laser, all ok.
Pressed start and the head is moving as normal, all works fine. but no laser beam.
The red dot pointer works, and the cover interlock is also working according to the LED's on the board on the RHS of the machine.
Are there any other things any of you can suggest that I can check before I order in another tube ?
This is the second tube in 5 ½ years, and this one has not done a lot of work, only started getting busy with it a few months ago.
I can handle a multimeter and understand electronics to a reasonable level, so any tech diagnosis tips would also help.
Any help or diagnosis tips would be sincerely appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris.
