Datum not moving

[bajsco]

The datum arm won't move on my laser. When I press esc to deselect the 'laser' file, none of the datum direction arrows work and neither does the z-axis.
I have reset but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It sounds like your not getting power too the stepper drivers
What machine do you have

[bajsco]

It's the LS3060.
The arm moves freely when off and it will move when asked to do a datum re-set.
Thanks for your reply,

So it's just the arrow buttons? Does it move if you use the Lasercut ones?

[bajsco]

Nope, it won't move with either the laser controls or laser cut. I have tried removing the pc still with no luck. The only way it will do any movement is if I press datum, which shows nothing is stopping it moving...

[bajsco]

What is the stepper driver?

[Lightnin]

it's the electricery bit that is wired to the motors that move the axis around

[Tom]

It Can't be that if it will datum

[bajsco]

Have you any other idea on what it may be? Or any suggestions for me to try? Thank you so much for your help

Best call HPC - if it is a loose wire or a component they will tell you how to fix it safely or suggest a visit.

We can't really advise you to mess about with the electrical side of the machine.
