it is laser tube leakage problemHi,
I am having an issue with my 80w Chinese laser. The laser starts to fire as soon as you push start while the laser head is traveling to the job. Obviously it should not turn on until the laser head is ready to start engraving or cutting. Once it finishes the engraving or cutting file it begins to return to home, but does not stop firing. As soon as the laser head gets to 0,0 or home the laser stops firing. If you push pause during the job while the laser is engraving then it will stop firing, but as soon as you push escape it begins firing and returns home. I swapped out the laser controller with one from one of my other machines and still have the problem so I know the controller is good.
I'm thinking the problem might be inside the power supply. Running out of ideas??? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
