    New Machine - Y Axis not working

    The laser arrived on Saturday. I have been slowly putting it together. It is a 9060, 80w Reci tube CO2 laser and Leetro 6525 controller.

    Yesterday, I tried to do a test run in stand alone mode (not connected to a computer) but when I pressed the jog button to move the laser head to the start position I found that the Y axis is not working. I can move the X axis and Z axis but not the Y axis. Everything else seems to work ok.

    I need advice on how to troubleshoot the Y axis problem.

    Thank you

    BTW, I have contacted the vendor but have no response yet.

    The problem maybe come to the motion card 6525 or power supply

    Hello,I think the problem maybe the 6525 controller,or the driver and motor of the Y axis.You can text the problem.
    1.open the computer cover, with manual control function, the distance is set to 100mm, click on the "up" or "down" button, you can see a lamp light. Click to move left or right button, if don't see the light, the control card is damaged, if there are light, please proceed to the next step.2.Adjust the ammeter to DC 5V speed, voltage measurement adapter 14 feet and 54 feet. Click on the "up" or "down" button, the normal value of about 2.8V, if not, the control card is damaged, please replace the control card. If yes, please proceed to the next step.3.you change the output terminal of the driver of the X and Y axis,click to move up or down button.if the X axis is normal,then Y axis motor is damaged.If the X axis is not moving, then Y axis driver is damaged.
    Hope it will be helpful to you.If you have any questions,just ask me,i will do my best to help you. Emily

    Lucy, Thank you for responding.

    Emily, This the sort of information that I need.

    1. I have checked step1 and an LED comes on when the left and right buttons are pressed so Control Card is good.

    2. I'm not sure exactly where I'm to measure the voltage. An image of the exact location would be very helpful.

    Thank you.

    Emily, Thank you so much, your information helped a lot.

    It appears that the 3ND583 driver is faulty. Can you give me a quote for a 3ND583 shipped express to Bellmere, QLD 4510, Australia?

    IT's WORKING. :banana::banana::banana:

    Embarassing but true.
    While I was inspecting the wiring to check for breaks or lose connections, I noticed that some wires went from the Y axis driver to a switch on the control panel box. Toggled the switch and the Y axis works.

    The switch is for the rotary attachment and I assume that when the rotary attachment is on the Y axis needs to be disabled. The laser must have been shipped with the rotary switch on!

    Now to sort out why I'm not getting air.

    Thank you again Emily.
