Laser cutter trouble shooting

Cases 1:

You will find one (or more) of the followings:

Cause:

The X-Y stage has moved beyond the limit (came too closer to the lower right).

Recovery procedure 1:

  1. Turn off the YASNAC by pressing red "0" button around the front panel.
  2. Probably the X-Y stage is located near the front side. Shove the stage toward the center (to left and away) by hand by 10-20mm.
  3. Turn on the YASNAC by pressing green "1" button around the front panel.

Recovery procedure 2 (when procedure 1 above dose not work):

  1. Turn off the YAGSCAN (right equipment).
  2. Turn off the YASNAC.
  3. Open the right side panel (there are two panels there. open one away from you) of the YASNAC. A screw driver is required.
  4. Turn off the main breaker inside the YASNAC. Then turn on it again after ~10 sec wait.
  5. Turn on the YAGSCAN.
  6. Turn on the YASNAC.


Case 2:

While operating a software "POWERCAM" on a gateway PC, software stops working, especially while writing files onto a HD.

Cause:

Disk full of the drive C: will prevent the software to work properly.
The software writes so many temporary files during its operation. After working for a long period (say, a half year), these files will eventually occupy a large disk space.

Recovery procedure:

You need to delete OLD temporary directories in "C:\work", where all the temporary files have been created. You can just move some of the directories to "D:\work_backup", since D drive still has a lot of space remaining.
