Hi all, I’ve been trying out my 7w JTech laser and I noticed an odd issue. Starting from 0,0, the laser will fire then go to the start point of the vectors to be cut/engraved. So I will get a line to that start point. I must be missing a step, but have as yet found it. Any ideas? Thanks.
On your controller screen menu under tool be sure the two check boxes at the bottom are checked. What are your settings in VCarvePro set at?
I’m currently having the same problem, how did you resolve it?
are you using vectric? Are you using the laser post processor when exporting laser gcode?"

I am guessing you are you X Y zeroing your laser to accommodate the offset it needs?
Secondly make sure you are using Firmware 1.09.
What software are you using??
yes and yes. sorry about the long delay I was traveling
I am using X Y zeroing, I have to verify Firmware (my onefininty is connected to wifi and I’m pretty sure I’ve updated recently) I am using Vcarve Pro
I had the same issue pop up tonight. After a few cuts, I started a new file and when I hit start, the laser came on and fired all the way to the start point. It did this for the next several jobs then stopped doing it. After another few jobs, it did it again. I have a 44watt Jtech with the Masso controller and I’m using Vcarve Pro 12.0. Anybody know what might be causing this? Thanks for any input.
I cannot speak to the masso, but this is typically a post processor problem. Think of how a spindle is instructed to spin up before engaging. When the laser receives that same set of instructions it engages immediately, when instead you would want it to wait until it was in position.
