box offset

[Jacala]

Hello!

Yesterday the laser worked a full 8 hours making 500 identical cut logo's . No problem! (I'm cutting text and logo's on low power on wooden spatula's, so no engraving)

Today I wanted to make a new batch and for some reason 1 line of products was scrambled. lines went the wrong way and it was the same all over that array. So software is at fault i think.

I noticed that the box function was also at fault. When I do a big item (like 24 logo's in a array etc, something like 500x500 mm) every time I do a box the zero point moves up about 5 mm. For example:

• make a box and fire the laser at start point.
  push the box button and the head makes the square.
  For some reason the zeropoint is now 5 mm higher.
  After 3 boxes the zeropoint was about 15 mm higher and unreliable.

I'm not losing steps and the steppermotors are more than powerfull enough, also speed is very low to avoid shaking. Sometimes the problem vanishes and then its there again.

I'm still working with lasercad 6.27
main board: 7.12.09.21
LCD board: 5.12.02.29

Are there upgrades in the updates? I would like to update but I'm also a bit cautious.

Next:

It seams to only have the problem in the y axis. Could it be a problem in the stepperdriver or communication between the driver and the awc 608?


Marco: You've send me the new firmware once but the link was dead. Could you please send the latest update to me?

Thanks!

As you can see the x is always nicely aligned but the y axis is off.

This are my settings:







Don't know why or how but it is strange.

Let me send you a new OS see if it fix it or not. If not, the problem probably caused by mechanical issue
