The long expected conclusion

After convincing the Trotec support that it was not possible that it where my print that was wrong, they had me do a test.

I checked 0:0 that there where no offset...

Im currently mailing back and forth with Trotec support to resolve the issue. I will post an Conclusion and all the methods we used when it has been fixed

I did that yesterday when i was testing Scotts suggestions. The closer the vectors are to 0:0 the smaller the scaling and the harder it is to measure.

I have made a illustatrator file (attached as...

Great to hear that somebody else out there has had the same problem.

Not so great to hear that is has occured on different lasers.... So the scaling % is 0.3 that is interesting. Im going to try...

Ok I understand. The machine is not shifting everything so not offset.

That .ini file stuff sounds like something it might be.

Thank you for the help.
I will let you know what Trotec has to...

I am using a 2" lens.

The machine is about two weeks old. Could the beam be out of alignment on a brand new machine?
How would i go about checking the "offset"?

Im hoping my call to Trotec...

Looks like i will be making that call.

Luckyly i know the scale factor. So i can scal up my cuts. Its just that i shouldnt have to do that.... It makes my production process alot more complicated...

Did the square test.

Made a square thats 600x300, did the ruler test in Jobcontrol its spot on 600x300 on the plate.
I cut the lines at 3% power and 0.65 speed. Got a nice super thin hairline...

I did the ruler check as you said in job control and its spot on 609 if it was getting scaled it would be 608,something.

I am cutting acrylic 3mm.

But when im testing the cuttlines i set my...

Great to hear that i dont need expensive software.

I can fix it by scaling up my cutting files. But it is very annoying to have to do that when its supposed to be accurate.

When you are testing...

How do i upload to the forums? (edit: figured it out)

Its realy hard to measure the scaling without the print. How are you going to test it?

Maybe i should get the Trocam software from Trotec...

Just did that.

I got the same result. I tried corel and illustrator. I dont understand why it would scale anything.

I have corel draw x6 as well i was using that first. But i do my artwork in illustrator so i tought it might be something that happend in the file conversion. Since it happens with corel and...

Hi

I have a brand new Trotec speddy 100 30watt. I am going to use this to cut out screen printed gameing tokens. The screen printig process is 99.9% accurate i have spent that last week...

I have found another foile with a data sheets.

What do you think about using this http://www.rtape.com/tech-data-sheets/AT75

It says that it is based on polyethylene

Thank you for the advice. I will contact 3Ms Norwegian branch to hear if they have some samples.

Do any of you know if they have a similare clear product which is removable? So I can protect the...

Yeah the vinyl part of the name was what made me suspicious too. But it dos not say anything about what happens with the material when it burns in the data sheet. Should it not say that it will...

Hi

Im a long time lurker, but first time poster.

I recently became the proud owner of a brand new trotec speedy 100 30W :D
