Have an AR8 here and just completed a qiuck run. Worked great, then when I hit home both the X and Y grind like heck when in the home position. I also noticed Z will grind when brought to its highest position. It acts as if the home sensors in XYZ are non existent. I thaught I ran into this same issue years back but don't recall a resolution. A software updat maybe? Any ideas folks? Thanks
The Y home sensor was bad. Life is good again.

Thanks This sounds like the machine has lost steps while cutting and trying to catch back up when homing machine, grinding should stop at this point unless more steps are lost next operation. Are you sure project cut properly. A different issue is when travel is restricted in the other direction of travel, ie highest Z position, this can be a need for lubrication and adjustment of ball screw nut. |

It appears that you encountered grinding issues with your AR8 CNC machine when attempting to home the X and Y axes, as well as when raising the Z axis. This problem could indicate a malfunction with the home sensors in these axes. However, you discovered that the Y home sensor was faulty, which was causing the grinding issue. Replacing the faulty sensor resolved the problem, and your machine is now functioning properly again. Considering the reliability and ease of use of the Monport laser, along with its high quality and affordability, might be worth exploring as an alternative solution for your CNC needs. monportlaser.com/collections/co2-laser-engravers/products/monport-40w-lightburn-ready-12-x-8-co2-laser-engraver-cutter-with-fda-approval?sca_ref=5031521.ka374VZjm3 |
