Laser Bed not moving.

We have a LS6090, and last week during an inset for teachers the emergency stop button had been pressed. Since then, we are unable to lower or move the bed of the laser up or down. The machine is still cutting, but the red laser dot is also not present. Does anybody know how this problem can be rectified?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nathan

Check the wiring on the red dot
And disconnect if melted

Thanks Tom,

I will check it today.
Any advice on the bed itself? Will rewiring allow this to be moved up and down?

As it's in a school I think you are better of talking to HPC direct - HSE and all that ;)

Best

DIY + School = TROUBLE!

Davo is spot on, get the experts in, fires in cabinets can cause all sorts of issues and the boys will know exactly what to look at and what is likely to have been damaged.

To be honest any advice other than call HPC is bad advice in this particular case (no matter how well intentioned)
