Every so often, our laser cutter "messes up" so to speak - it wanders off of it's path and cuts a random line that isn't in the file - and then promptly returns to cutting the correct path. This happens infrequently enough that it's difficult to trace the source... but frequently enough that we're wasting time and material dealing with it.
I suspect it is some sort of corruption within Laserworks or the control system of the machine (Shenhui SH-G570). If I run the same file repeatedly, it will not mess up consistently in the same spot, if it messes up at all.
Below is a typical photo of this error. In the top of the photo, you can see a lace pattern that was cut successfully. Below it, circled in red, is where the laser walked off it's path momentarily and then started cutting correctly again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can anyone help trace the source?
