Re: Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

Hi! Thank you for your perseverance in helping me with this matter. I seem to have got me head around what I am trying to achieve with adjusting the mirrors and am now able to cut again - thank you!

Regards, Richard

Re: Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

Me again! I am extra frustrated now as I have just received my replacement mirror but the cut or lack of it on the RHS is even worse! I have even doubled the power from my well established level and it will still not cut through until I am at least 40mm in from the RHS. When I make test shots at eac...

Re: Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

Had a good start to the day - was testing the burn marks on each mirror and then cleaned the lens, went to do a test cut and - nothing! Turns out the last mirror above the head had shattered - a small mirror but a big price! I guess the very small scratch might have caused a weakness as I don't thin...

Re: Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

Thank you very much for your help - may I pick your brains further please?! I have removed the last mirror (the first time I have dared to do this but I guess it will seat correctly as there is no built-in adjustment) and placed tape over the head and fired test shots at top right (datum), bottom ri...

Re: Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

Hi! Thanks for that, I thought that might be a suggestion - however, I am frightened of touching the mirrors in case I mess up the machine totally!! Is there a set sequence/procedure for this or should I ask HPC to do it?

Inconsistent cutting with LS3020

I have an emerging problem when cutting a sheet of 3mm Perspex in that any cutting on the right hand side (especially the top RHS) of the workpiece doesn't cut through whereas the rest of the sheet cuts fine. I have experimented long and hard over cutting speed and power for Perspex and have found a...

Hi! Thanks for that - I think it is a dodgy USB port - cheers!

Communication broken due to timeout

Can anyone throw any light on a problem that has recently started to occur on my LS3020 please: I regularly get an error message that the connection is broken due to time-out. This involves switching off the machine and waiting for it to reset. This can happen if it has been idle for 5 minutes and o...

LASERABLE ENGRAVING LAMINATE

I am about to use 1.5MM BLACK / WHITE engraving laminate for the first time and am unsure what the best speed/power settings should be on my LS3020 Pro. Can anyone advise me before I start wasting too much material please?
