Rotary engraving set up

Post by timbersmiths »

Hello

I'm a newbie down in Devon with a LS6090 pro. I also bought the rotary attachment to engrave enamel mugs which I tried to set up this morning.

I followed the basic instructions in the pdf - basically to change the move settings to 115 on the Y axis Pulse Units, downloaded to the machine - machine bleeped as per instructions. Also connected the rotary attachment to the Y Axis stepper driver. All good so far.

However on starting up the machine the display says 'Datum' and will not move from this, meanwhile the rubber friction wheels on the rotary attachment keep spinning. I can press every button on the display but still it continues to read 'datum'.

Am I missing something? I've disconnected and reset the Y axis pulse units to it's previous setting several times, then gone through the instructions again, but always the same result - Datum.

If anyone has any clue as to what I'm doing wrong I'm all ears!

Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard - Give HPC a call it may be quicker. I don't have a rotary ;)

Maybe a few days late to help but the machine is looking for the Y axis limit sensor
You can just press stop on the control panel .
