BD laser Problem

[ponsaloti]

Changed the cutter and thought it would be a good idea to recalibrate the machine.

Bizarrely, half way through this the machine broke a tracer.

Stared again with my hand on the e-stop.

All good.

 

As I have the ign in the shop, I cut a HU66.

It's cutting to the right about .7 to far.

 Is there an offset I need to put into the machine ?

 

Had a similar problem with this a few years ago but I cant remember how I got around it.

Had a similar issue with mine.

I noticed mine was making some unusual noises when it was booting up

When it started to cut a HU66 it made an almighty grinding sound.

I hit the stop button and on checking the blade, it had missed it completely and was cutting the right jaw clamp.

Thinking the worse, just by chance I noticed the upside down 25 pin connector was loose.

I tighten up the 2 screws, rebooted it and it was perfect.

I can only think that constant vibration had worked the connector loose.

I'm not saying this will be your problem, but worth checking out.

Connections all are good. 

But thanks for the reply.
