Hey All,
I picked up a 6090 machine from China with a 100w CO2 tube. It took me a few months to get up and running, but it has been a dream for about two months. Last week I went to go make some cuts and the laser would not fire. The rest of the machine seems to be fine, its's just the tube seems dead. Jumping to conclusions, I ordered another laser power supply and swapped out the old one. That didn't fix it.
Thus far I have determined the power supply gets power. The water safety circuit is functioning and the control signal is going to the supply. When I look at the tube there are no sparks, no off color beam, no beam at all and no cracks. I have also tried testing the output of the laser using a voltmeter and it registers 0.0.
The new power supply has three lights on the back, can you please let me know what they mean? If you have any other insight it would be much appreciated as I am kinda heart broken.
