energy laser

[sedawi]

i have chinese machine 90*120
it cutting ok
but every thing when i do energy it give me this message

" no enough extend space please Esc "

Its the memory of the machine, you either have too many files in it or you are trying to load a file that is too big.

best wishes

thanks for your answer
no have any files also i do format in the machine
ans also the file i do small file that in 72 resolution
the file small the 400KB

you need to move the job in regards to the area away from the adges or slow more down this message comes from the extend what the laser needs on the edges

Yup Walt is correct, its the second thing I mentioned, the drawing / work piece picture is outside of the machines hard limits. (the machine is being told to work outside of its working area)

first,check if your file is too big to exceed the working area
if your drawing is small,so before working on it,push your laser head left a little then start.
if you have problem,you can write to my email: tina@wklaser.com

Hi Sedwai, yes this is a over axis warning, try running for datum and just check your drawings, make sure everything's on the bed, I've had things hiding off screen! hope this helps
Cheers Simon

I have exactly the same problem. If I load something with bitmaps it will give me the same error. Sometimes it will do it before it starts and it also happend at 3% in to the file.
The support I get is bad as they are in China and I get stupid answers. If this does not get resolved soon I will just return it as I bought it on eBay and being shipped from the US.

I am running RDcam and the machine has a 300x500 area. Bitmap loaded is 400K file.

I've read that when you do raster laser engraving, you need ~1 inch of free space on both side for slow down / acceleration operation of the head. Maybe the error is relate to that.

Hope this will make it clear:
When you want to engrave a picture with a speed of, say 1000mm/sec, the laserhead will have to accelerate to this 1000mm/sec before it starts to engrave the picture. It needs a certain distance for that, depending on how fast it can accelerate and how fast it has to engrave. In the picture this is distance D.
If the picture is close to the boundary of the laserarea it has to move over that boundary.. See the red box. When i place it more central, like the green box, it has space enough to accelerate and decelerate without crossing the boundary.
Check if the boundarys are known (after a reset). Think about relative or absolute positions.. when you draw your picturebox and let it generate the outputfile as absolute, one of the corners will be 0,0 so there will be no space left for acceleration and/or decelleration.

That was it! Thanks a bunch. We use large format printers, DTG printers, plotters and more but this thing pissed me off since I could not figure it out. The manual is toilet paper but that is what you get with these Chinese machines. $2599 machine $1 manual.

Works like a charm now!
