Shadows on Rotary...is it just slippage?

[Bronco78th]

Hi All,

 

We use a Rotation S for crystal glasses etc and im having a problem with shadowing on the infill that im struggling to resolve.

 

I did 3 glasses this morning with the same text and the 1st one was spot on, the second and third one had an increasing shadow (where the infill didn't match the outline).

 

Most of the text matches up fine but the problems normally occur around the top left/right exstremities of the text that causes problems. So you get the odd word where the infill is 1/2 mm out.

 

This seems to occur pretty randomly and if its purely down to slippage ill need to do even more to make sure things are locked , but is there anything mechanical/software wise that could be causing it?

 

Though my boss doesn't notice it, it looks naff and amateurish in my opinion......and id feel better if I had reassurance it is most likely to be down to slippage than anything mechanical or software related.

 

Using Surlab 7.1

 

Cheers

comming from a man with a great deal of experiance with the suregrave rotation , the problem is the suregrave rotation , sometimes it wont engrave the same place twice.

 

i had a bad time with one and a know a few other owners had big expensive bills trying to get it sorted, i paid a guy colin from newcastle 1200 quid and it still wouldnt work

 

there is no ryhme or reason it has a mind of its own an does what it likes. there is no spare parts for them . i sold mine for scrap and bought 2 x graographs

 

good luck with it
