Laser Only Fires One Pulse at Start of Job
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2020 9:32 pm
Just finished upgrading my K40 to a T9+ DSP and new Motor Drivers and so forth. As a final step I replaced the Laser Power Supply with the LO Smartbean 60W PWM CO2 Laser Power Supply. (I am still using the original K40 glass tube.)
Problem: Whether using the manual laser button (Control Panel or Power Supply) or running a drawing, the Laser just fires a short pulse, then no output. I've tried different power levels and checking other hardware related settings, but it behaves the same. Just a single dot flash. (The stepper motors run and the head traces the path it should, just no laser.)
I assume it would be a setting issue since I'm still figuring out the T9, but before I post a bunch of extraneous info I hope someone can offer some specifics to check?
Thanks,
Mike
