Lasercutter out of action - tube death

[Charles Yarnold]

Hello all,

Sadly another tube bites the dust, even with perfect alignment and clean optics we are getting hardly any power out of the tube. This has happened over the last couple of days and is in-line with expected behaviour of a normal tube death.

I am in talks with HPC Laser to get in a replacement tube and set of optics, no date of arrival as of yet.

To prevent members still using the cutter (running jobs as multiple cuts over the same area buggers optics), I have disabled the cutter from engaging the tube.

Lets hope tube 4 has a long life, 

Sol
