6090 has lost its Datum...I think!
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2014 10:07 am
Morning everyone,
I have a LS6090 which has recently started to behave a bit strangely. Others use this machine so can't account for idle thumbs but here goes...
Firstly when I used to switch the machine on the head used to automatically find its datum by going up to the top right hand corner of the bed.
Secondly, if I now use the cursor to send the head to the extremities of the bed it does not stop automatically so therefore jitters and bumps at the edges as if it wants to continue. This goes for any of the extremities, top, bottom, left and right.
Thirdly and most annoyingly when I set a job up to be cut or engraved it starts the job from wherever it wants rather from where I have set the head up to. So the material goes in, head adjusted, press test and the head will disappear to a corner and start the contouring from there, sometimes too close the edges so it jitters and bumps again (technical term). Other times it will wander off to an area where I can use the bed so have to move my material to that spot.
I am hoping all 3 issues are related and I don't have a multiple set of problems.
Help here would be greatly appreciated! I have run out of buttons to press!
Thanks
