Intermittent Laser fault last night

@lasertechs - had an odd fault with the laser last night. When the carriage reset to home (start up) or moved to the far left, the whole unit stopped and error’d.

A brief investigation showed the small air feed line to the head was catching on the far left limit switch and folding the metal tag backwards causing the reset. The pipe was getting in the way of the switch.

The only issue we could see was the elbow that the airline fits into was a little loose as it enters the head so we tightened it gently with a small spanner which seemed to solve the issue for now.

It still looks like it could move / cause trouble. Someone a little more skilled with the Trotect should probably have a quick look.

I think “tightening an obviously loose nut” is about as good a job that any of us could do! Cheers :slight_smile:

I’ll be in over the weekend, and will have a poke and a play, but this sounds awesomely done!
