Thanks for the tips. I printed them out and will include them in the manuals I got with the machine.

BOOM...Problem solved.
Thanks so Much!:)
I never thought that the issue could be that the origin was set differently for the other program.
The EP module homes to the rear left corner on start-up,...
I am having trouble getting the V3200 machine properly set up in Gravostyle and have started a new thread.
I can't seem to get this machine set up properly in gravostyle 98.
Its a New Hermes Vanguard 3200 with EP module, and it engraves just fine from the older DOS based program that came with it.
I...
Thanks for the info from everyone. I was able to buy the copy of Gravostyle 98, about 10 various gravers, and 5 sets of jaws from a guy with a broken machine, for only $350. I think I got a great...
Here is a link with instructions on converting the EP module to Mach3 control

I think it would be a much more time consuming and expensive to build a motion control system from scratch since I already have a working system. I have seen a couple YouTube videos where people...
I recently acquired a New Hermes Vanguard 3200 engraving machine with an EP module and very old Dos based software running in a Dos shell in Windows 98.
The unit works flawlessly, but the old...
WOOHOOO!....PROBLEM SOLVED
Someone posted about the alignment of the red dot image being OK so the laser must be OK....then I remembered that the red dot emitter is not in line with the Laser...
How do I know if the beam is hitting the mirrors correctly? The red dot contour is slightly out of alignment with the actual laser beam...maybe by 1mm for so. Its enough to see that the Main laser...
There are a whole bunch of different settings that could be switched to port 5 or 15....which setting are you talking about?
I do NOT have a MOPA laser. My model is MFP-20-C2NN4.
The link you reference is a model MFPT-20 (the MOPA version in 20W power).
I have tried several times to contact Maxphotonics by email and...
Yes, I am using the focus range you suggest, and that is identical to what I found in another posting. I tried setting the IO mask settings to your suggested ones and there was NO change. I still...
Tried these settings, no change.
My lens does not appear to have a filter on it. There is the main lens body and that fits into an adapter ring, which then fits into the galvo head.
The screw...
I don't think my problems are with the output settings for type of material, I think its with the parameter settings, or setup of the laser itself...or maybe that the laser source is faulty. I...
The lens is a 160-210, the machine was advertised as having a 150x150 area. I originally thought 210mm was the focal distance for focus, but it was not working, so I found a post from someone with...

Here are the parameter setup screens.

I had a nightmare experience with a US seller of a desktop fiber laser system. I won't go into the details but the result is that I am left with a system that does not seem to work, and no support....
