Hi! I'm new to the forum and hoping someone has a solution. I have a 35 Watt Vytek Laser engraving machine that they no longer make. (Tile Bandit)
As the laser is engraving, my table is raising by itself! Not sure if the buttons are sticking or what? Anyone have this experience before?

I have jobs pending and am a bit frustrated!

Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas...

Hi Beth,

Can't help with the problem, but the brute force solution could be disabling the raising mechanism. If it is raised and lowered by an electric motor, then insert a switch that cuts the power to the motor when you have it at the height you need.

If it is raised by air, then put in a small ball valve to do similar.

My guess is it is raised by an air cylinder and the solenoid valve that controls the "up" part of up/down is leaking air through to the cylinder.
