Question First setup DL445 issues

Hi,

I am following the manual to setup the Laser tool. I think I did all the steps on section 4.2 (on spindle page) I enabled the plug in, re started the program. However, When I go section 5.6 *Start a Job" no matter what I do I always get the "RESET LOGIC OF THE SOFTWARE IS ACTIVE..." as seen on capture 1.
I am sure the STOP push buttons are all reset (machine, soft, laser box), the key on the laser box is ON. I also tried moving the X,Y, Z lead screws manually to a middle positions but it does not change anything.

I am also attaching the diagnostics Capture2.


Thanks a lot.

Did you insert the lase head into the Z-Axis-holder in a way that the switch on the side is also pressed? There is a security switsch on the laser which ensures that the laser would not work if it is not inserted rightfully into the holder.

Frank,

You were right. that was the problem. However I have another problem. when I run the test sequence the laser led does not illuminate at all. I was trying to find out why this could be. I found some video on you tube where they download a multiinstaller that comes with UCCNC ready to use the laser. Unfortunately, this is no longer available on the Stepcraft's webpage.

I did all my laser configuration on the Configuration/axis/spindle page and I do not really know if this is OK or not. I would prefer to install the profile for the laser and go from there but as I said it is nowhere to be found.

I guess I will send a email to stepcraft asking for this software.

Thanks again.

Frank,

Stepcraft sent me the software right away and now the laser is working fine. Thanks again for your help on this matter.

Regards
