Jay Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 In cylindrical mode, suddenly started having a few problems. For Example: I'm engraving a tankard, it finishes the first line, but doesn't start the 2nd line in the correct place, it will start it too far over so its not centrally aligned with the first line of text. you can't go over a job twice either, it will be a couple of mm over from the first time it engraved something. Just wondered if there is a quick fix for this problem before i have to get someone out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about computer engraving but can you not adjust the next line on the computer screen so it engraves a little more on one side thus correcting the problem? I had something similar with my Metaza and that's the solution that worked for me. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecoco Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi Jay, check out the length of your text box in relation to your diameter that you have input, some times happens that the 2 are incompatible with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 have you reinstalled the software ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souriceaux06 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hello Jay First, it is the software that you use with your IS200 The procedure for engraving cylinder with my LS800 must be identical, if you have GravoStyle. In the first form; it is cylindrical or conical. The positioning of the workpiece (angle) is important Positioning of text on software is also important, especially if the text around the material to be machined. tell us how you do it, it will be easier to help you. made us a one photo or two @+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web_Engraver Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I agree with Marino, sounds like cylinder attachment needing attention, Marino sorted mine with 1 onsite visit. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Cheers for the replies guys. Ive been using an is200 for about 12 years & im sure the problem is with the cylindrical attachment itself. Marino is coming out this morning to get it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
