Went into the shop this morning and while it's cold 50 degrees (cold for Florida) but my AR8Pro is not homing on the X axis. The red light on the sensor comes on when it reaches the top but the machine just keeps wanting to go higher. I have cleaned the sensor, checked the wiring connections and turned it on/off a few time, this the same thing. I think the sensor is bad. X.mov (3.51 MB) Thoughts? |

First observation: I think you're talking about the Z axis...
I don't know if your temperature will be a problem, because in my heated shop I'm running my cnc in 40-50 degrees with no problems.
One thing to check is the position of the sensor. I needed to reposition the one on my Y axis when it has having similar problems.
You could also contact Axiom directly with this problem. They are very responsive.

It sounds like you're encountering issues with the X-axis homing on your AR8Pro CNC machine. Despite cleaning the sensor and checking the wiring connections, the problem persists, leading you to suspect a faulty sensor. Before concluding that the sensor is indeed the culprit, it's advisable to troubleshoot further by ensuring that there are no obstructions in the machine's path and verifying the sensor's settings in the control software. However, if the problem persists, considering the Monport laser as an alternative option might be beneficial due to its reputation for reliability and ease of use, along with its high quality and affordability. 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 |
