    Laser engraving machine not firing laser from software or controller.

    Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to help me out.
    I purchased a Chinese Laser engraving/ cutting machine.
    I have done everything possible to get it to engrave a circle or even a simple square to no avail.

    I have attached a short video to show you what my problem is.

    I hope it is an easy fix, but it never is.

    Re: Laser engraving machine not firing laser from software or controller.

    Ok, I figured out what the problem was. The chiller that came with the engraver is a cw 5200.Well, the chiller and the controller have a connection that in the even the chiller has an error it keep the laser from firing.
    I don't have that cable, so, no cable to play. What I did for the time being, is to jump the two pins with a screw. The screw goes between pin 1 and 3. Make sure not to touch pin 2.
    That tells the controller that the chiller is running without errors. I did that just to run the machine for a short while for testing only. My cable was sent from China within 24 hours of me contacting the agent there.
    We are humans and we all make mistakes, their mistake was not to send the cable. No harm done, things are being taken care off.

    I hope this might help someone else that might be going through the same. On another note, if you do have the cable and the machine does not fire, then the above might be a good way to troubleshoot the problem. Sometimes the chiller might be triggering the problems. Good luck and God Bless.
