I've searched the archives for this error, I remember seeing photos of an image drifting along the x-axis as the job ran, but couldn't find it so I'm looking for your help.
Here's the situation. My system has thrown out a couple of errors prior to this issue. It reset in the middle of a job a couple of times and also stopped with the "X/Y Disabled:X" and X/Y Disabled:Y" but when I started this run all seemed OK during start-up check
I'm raster marking a job with 1/8" plex @ 100speed & 60power and cutting at 11s & 100p. I've pretty much filled up my 12x18 bed to get as many pieces out of a full sheet. As the job runs, the head seems to move farther out past the edge of the left and right edges of the bed than normal, and I start to hear that dreaded "Klunk" as the head reverses direction. As some point my artwork starts to drift and skews, either to the left or right. When I cancel the job, the head does not return to the home position I set, again it's off either left or right. I've cleaned my belts, the encoder strip, and anything else I could reach, but it's still happening irregularly.
I've been able to work-around it by reducing the speed and reducing the number of pieces on the sheet, and moving everything into the center of the bed, but this obviously increases my time for the job.
Anyone remember the prior discussion, or can provide any tips?
