Locating part on laser bed
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2020 6:34 pm
Hi, I am looking for a way of locating a part resonably on the laser bed. Is there a way of centring it on the red pointer dot?
I have Lasercut 6.1 & can only find a means to set the start & end cut position, not an option to set the datum to the middle of the piece - is there one? There isnt a cut in the centre of the piece, so I cant just start the laser in the middle.
At the moment I am eyeballing the profile made by the red pointer when you hit test - which sorta works, but the head moves a little bit too fast to judge accurately. Is there a way of slowing the speed the head moves at when you hit 'test'?
Any thoughts? - The machine is a 60w LS3040.
TIA, Mark
