Guys I am stuck and I need help with my laser engraving machine
I have an 80watt CO2 laser machine. It cut cuts projects perfectly well but when it comes to engraving e.g a word, it engraves a meaneagless blank area which I think is the entire area of the exact project not the the "run box" area,that you can tell if you observe the edges of the project. I also noted that the hight of the project to be engraved remains ok ( that is within the limits of the "Run Box" area) but the width widens wider than the "run box" area. At the end of it all the engrave project (e.g the word) looks like the letters are wider and therefore are overlapping on one another leaving in the end a blank engraved area of the word to be engraved. Lastly upon finishing the work, the alarm of work complete beeps but the laser light does not go off automatically meaning i have to press the emegency swith to turn it off.
What puzzles me is tha if I tried to cut the same project ( e.g the same word) none of that happens, the work is done as expected with in the "run box" area and the laser light goes off automatically before the beep comes on.
Please view the pictures I have attached to give an idea.
Chille.
