Hi To all !
Great forum, folks btw ! I need a little help :
ULS X100 water cooled Coherent laser tube, bought second hand with a duff PSU - I replaced with a like for like Magnetek unit.........
I managed to blow one of the stepper motor controller chips on the cpu which I tonight replaced - phew !
My problem is I cannot get any laser output.........files send, 48V at the coherent 100W water cooled laser tube, psu's good green led's on - but no output from the laser........
Files RUN okay just no lasering !
I have waited a while (warmup ?) to no avail - lcd file display indicates correct laser power/ speed etc etc. Chiller seems good - the microswitch at the end of the laser tube gets avtivated by the pressure, green led on the display panel - as if the laser IS firing.........
Could the laser be kaput ??? Is there any real way of checking the laser 100% - I can only assume at the moment it is not get the "fire" signal.
Can I somehow temporarily supply one to test the coherent tube ?
Anyway - any help at all much appreciated !
Regards from a very wet South Wales, UK.
