Suddenly today I am having a new issue with my chinese laser, a 50W Blue and White.
In a nutshell, the laser head is using a much larger amount of room after each side to decelerate and accelerate on its way back.
In the image below I have combined two images to show clearly whats going on. You can see the laser head is about 5 cm away at each sides and the burnt image is only about 4 cm's. Prior to today I would barely see the extra room needed to achieve this, it was more like a few mm's than cm's!
At the same time, the specified speed for the engraving is never achieved, it just doesn't get close to what it should be doing in my eyes. I'm telling it to do 300mms and it looks like maybe half that?
Absolutely huge overshoot. I must have changed something somewhere but I can't imagine what. I also had some issues with rdworks on my machine so had to reinstall that today. Sigh. Have rewritten `vendor settings` on the machine through rdworks but I'm unsure truly if this is a software or hardware issue.
Anyone know what affects the `run up/slow down` distance & speed?
