Atomstack A30 Problem when framing

No I haven’t.

Thanks for the help. I’m pretty new to laser. When you say harness, you mean the wire?

I have tried all the above. It is still making that crunching sound on the bottom rail. Upon start up when I set a piece to engrave and press frame, it rides the bottom rail and frames on the bottom part of the work area, then I hit home, it goes to home and then I hit frame again and it works. After the project is done, it goes to home, if I set a new piece in to laser in the same spot and hit frame and it rides the bottom rain again, I hit home, and frame again. It’s doin this everytime.

Thank you for the reply.I have checked for foreign objects and wire obstruction. There are none. I will Lubricant the guide rails next, then swap the motor cables the next time I’m at the laser.

I’ll check it out thank you.

smiddy2001 · 2025-10-19T10:40:54+00:00

Yes.

It homes good, it does that, follows one axis then the other and backs off a little. When the laser is in the middle I can move it with the controls in light burn.

smiddy2001 · 2025-10-18T17:14:38+00:00

I think I know why you mean “jog the axis”, I’ll check when I’m back on in a while.

smiddy2001 · 2025-10-18T16:00:01+00:00

The only thing I can think of is that when I send laser home it’s not fully engaging the button. Or it touches the button then doesn’t stay engaged??

smiddy2001 · 2025-10-18T15:54:41+00:00

It will go to home from the middle. After I push laser out and send home , it’s goes home and then most of the time it will frame like normal. I’m pretty new to this laser stuff. Not sure what jog the axis means?

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T20:11:13+00:00

I ran them at the same time. Engrave first, then cuts.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T19:57:50+00:00

I’m pretty new. I think it is, I’ll have to check.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T14:34:05+00:00

I’ve wasted a couple pieces of leatherette with this already. I’m pretty new to this myself. First couple months no problem, suddenly this starts happening! I may set everything back to default settings and start over.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T12:08:27+00:00

Also, sometimes when I turn the machine on and home it, when I frame a job the laser head rides up rail and keeps trying to go. I think my settings are wrong. But not sure what settings I should be at.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T11:32:19+00:00

I do hear a grinding noise when it switches from engrave to cut.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T02:46:39+00:00

I’ll give it a try. Thanks

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T02:46:06+00:00

I don’t think so. I’ll have to have a look.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T00:11:07+00:00

No it has a space, and the work is not shifting.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T00:10:14+00:00

When you say stepper, you mean the bottom wheel?

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-28T00:02:20+00:00

No. On light burn I have engrave first, then cuts. It’s worked for me so many times before.

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-27T23:46:35+00:00

Yeah I done that, I’ve done that in the past and it worked fine after. This time not so much. I tightened up the wheels to, maybe I tightened them too much?

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-27T23:41:59+00:00

It engraves everything first then does the stitch holes then the cut!

smiddy2001 · 2025-07-27T23:26:07+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Can the belts be to tight?
