Laser head not moving along the Y-axis after powering on (X-axis normal)
If the laser head won’t return to its origin along the Y-axis after being powered up.
- First, check if the rotary axis toggle switch is toggled to the PLATE direction.
- If so, remove the glass cover on the left side of the engraver.
- Remove the metal plate on top of the main board.
- Check if LED3 of the main board is on.
Normally, LED3 will light up when the laser head returns to its origin along the Y-axis, go out, then light up again, and finally go out.
- If LED3 stays on all the time, fix the Y-axis limit (as shown) by gently tapping or replacing it.
- If LED3 does not light up, swap the X and Y motor control plugs on the main board.
If the laser head is moving along the Y-axis but not along the X-axis, the mainboard is faulty. Replace it with a new identical one.
If the laser head remains inactive along the Y-axis, Remove the bottom plate.
- Swap the Y1 motor plug with the X motor plug on the motor drive board (as shown).
- Unplug Y2.
- Check the movement of the laser head along the X and Y axes.
- If the laser head is now moving along the Y-axis but not the X-axis, replace the motor drive board with a new, identical one.
- If the laser head is moving along both the X and Y axes, replace the Y2 motor with a new identical one.
- If the laser head now is still not moving along the Y-axis,
- Unplug Y1.
- Plug Y2 in the X-axis drive port.
- Check the movement of the laser head along the Y-axis.
- If the laser head is still not moving along the Y-axis, replace the rotary axis adapter plate (as shown) with a new, identical one.
- If the laser head is now moving along both the X and Y axes, replace the Y1 motor with a new, identical one.
