Hi All,
We have a brand new machine 40w Epilog Mini 24 and are having issues with the laser firing. We've tried the suggested TM & TI setting Epilog recommended, but nothing is working. Actually made it kinda worse, to the point we ran the machine for almost 8mins with no fire. All files are setup correctly, magnetic window safety latch/switch has good contact, laser beam is inline & clean.
Here's what's going on - On every job the laser misses the first 1-2 secs of engraving/cutting. So we hit stop and go again to engrave/cut what was skipped. For engraving the letters/graphic ends up being darker on that part or cuts all the way thru being cut in 2 passes. This machine was an addition to our CNC shop and is very disappointing... I spent more time trying to get the machine to work vs cutting the parts I need with the very little time I have.
Is this normal ?
Are you guys running a warm-up program before you actually "run" the machine ?
:mad:
