Re: System won't start

I guess it could be but I have not seen temp issues on my machines and the workshop get quite hot so I suspect it is more likely to be a connection issue with the plugs on the pad to the MCB. It may also be a cold joint on the boards somewhere....

Re: System won't start

Does the head move and datum? It could be the switches are sticking so the MCB is not getting feedback to where the head is but it could also be something like a loose connector on the board (MCB).

Re: Lasercut5.3 dongle not working. Driver? Config?

Hi James,

Give HPC a call - they may have an early copy still and you will need the config file for the 6090 if you don't have it.

Re: 3020 Intermittent cutting

Check the connections to the tube to make sure there is no arching.

Re: 3020 Intermittent cutting

Hi Chris.
If the tube is overheating it can stop cutting until it cools down - can you explain a bit more when it stops and if it starts again?

Re: problems with cutting, parts cutting wrong sizes

So array is this option Screenshot 2023-06-06 161350.png so cuts the same part x number of times. This would exclude any anomalies in the file and if all parts cut the same then it is more chance to be a setting issue. If all parts are different it could be mechanical. May be worth exporting the CFG...

Re: problems with cutting, parts cutting wrong sizes

So is it the same part set up as an array? If you create a simple box and cut that in an array does it do the same?

Re: problems with cutting, parts cutting wrong sizes

Check on the control pad on the machine that the setting are set correct. Most options should be 100% as the software overrides - and strange numbers in the CP can make it do strange things.

Re: Diameter of laser?

Not that I know of without using different lens or beam expander but I am not sure that is possible on the smaller machines. How large is it? You can try doing a ramp test to perfect the focus on the machine which may help. Also make sure the lens is right way up for the focus tool (cupped surface u...
