Laser table wont lift up (GCC/ Laser Pro Mercury II)
Hi all,
I'm sure this must be a software problem as I managed to lower the table slightly when the error 1st happened, but I don't know how to go about fixing it. (tech was here during the week, and it may be a while before he is free to get back here as he is flat out)
Background:
I have a GCC/LaserPro Mercury II 40 Watt laser. It was serviced just days ago, and has been working well.
Problem:
My table is in the lowest 'z' position possible, yet the software thinks it's too high and gives me an error message saying to LOWER the table
I 1st noticed it, after using it for an hour or so. I went to start a new job after letting the laser sit idle for about half an hour. I pressed 'Auto Focus' and the table only lifted an inch, stopped, then gave me the warning message to lower the table.
I've tried turning the machine off, un-plugging it, and leaving it to sit. I've tried 4 times now, and all that's happened, is the table has moved to it's lowest position, and wont allow me to lift it.
Please help! It's the weekend, and I have orders waiting to go out :( I do most of my work on the weekend, and I really can't leave it to Monday for the company to come back to work :(
Thanks in advance!
P.S. - I have Windows 7, 64bit. I am using Driver DV 3.01-03 and firmware 1.00 (I don't know how to upgrade the firmware, and don't have a newer copy of the firmware.

Hi Guys, we currently use the Mercury Laser Pro L25 and for the last month it has been stopping on jobs on and off

The wires running to the autofocus switch eventually break where they keep bending you need to replace the wires or focus manually do not try to join them as they will break again really quickly
