Take a look at the pics. Parts came back from a customer. Part is a 1/2 inch thick acrylic mirror, 23.5 inches in diameter. There are these weird little "tick" marks along the edge. The one picture I put it under my microscope and it looks like the acrylic is possibly super heating and blowing out?
Checked the master artwork file, it is locked down, read only, and I opened it up. The circle is one continuous circle. To me, it almost looks like the laser is pausing slightly? every so often and the slight pause is superheating the acrylic? Anyone else ever seen anything like this? I haven't had a chance yet to run the machine to see what it does during this.
I have another problem I will take pictures of and post. It definitely is my day for problems.
