Greetings All,
I recently purcashed a very lightly used ( less then an hour) fully functioning Shenhui laser. It was vetted, all worked at pick up , worked when I got it home and set up. made a few test cuts /progets . Its running laser work 6, with an rdlc 320 controler. I have a few self created problems.
I BROKE IT .... basicly I dialed my self out of the set up , when I boot up the machine, connected to my windows 7 lap top OR my XP sp3 desktop, the gantry cant find "home" . My preferd machine 0,0 is top left . X axis resets normaly , however Y-0 ( top left) the head will move at normal speed, then slow down as it approaches the magnetic limit switch, but the switch will not trigger a "stop".
When I have the machine off, move the gantry to some where near the center of the machine, power on machine, it will "seek" home ... while gantry is moving - slow speed.....( not an issue) I can "fake" home by putting something metal by limit switches - it will "stop" at either axis, ( red light acivativates- stops - and backs off 1mm) depending on which switch I activate. The issue is ... X + ( right side top) stops and resets as it should, Y(0) ( top left ) WONT STOP it will continue to slip the belt till the motor thinks its at "0" - or reaches its limit - I dont know.
Another thing is , On the machine display, i have access to reset the axes, can reset them ( but Y0 still bangs) at reset,
when its all said and done, the arrow keys dont work to move the gantry, I can also not use the "test" tab to move the gantry, Seems like I have a missed a element in set up- missunderstandng of the instructions.- I did this to my self.
What I ask is if any one can send me a working "VENDOR PARM" - my machine is the 500x300 MM machine .....
I can provide more details - of troubleshooting I have done but the above is the heart of the matter.
Thank you in advance
-Joe
