axis movement GRBL

Hello everyone and lots of patience and good ideas for Christmas preparations.

I need help. Lightburn Grbl setting

$100 – 100 - – it is a spindle with 8 mm / rev.

$101 – 20 - – It is a belt drive with 40 mm / rev.

$102 – 100 - – Not in operation

$110 – 2000 - –

$ 111 – 2000 - –

$ 112 – 2000 - –

$113 – 100 - –

The machine runs smoothly and cleanly. The travel paths without a laser are carried out precisely. The speed of the axes is the same for X and Y. I stopped this without a laser over a travel path of 300 mm. There is no deviation.

With a laser, the X runs as usual, the Y runs at about three times the speed. The approach points are adhered to. The result is a clean cut in X, in Y it is just a cut.

The order is carried out using a drawing created in Lightburn.

Where can I set the Y axis here.

What you want to change in Y?

Hello, I can’t solve the problem with my axis movement. The Y-axis runs faster than
drawn. If I move diagonally or only on the X-axis, the cut is carried out exactly. If I use G0 and let the axes run individually, the time and running distance are exactly right. If I use G1, G2, G2, the running speed is different. If I cut a square, the X-axis is cut cleanly, the Y-axis is only marked by a line, cut. The calculations for the movement are done in Lightburn, not on the control board. Or am I seeing this wrong? Will a complete reinstallation help? I am grateful for any tips. Greetings for the 2nd Advent.My English is not good enough, so I’m using Google translation.

If you make a 100mm square does the laser mark 100mm in each direction?

The laser cuts in the X direction, but only marks in the Y direction. If I rotate the rectangle by 45 degrees, the rectangle is cut cleanly.

The laser cuts in the X direction, but only marks in the Y direction. If I rotate the rectangle by 45 degrees, the rectangle is cut cleanly.

Since the speed in the Y-axis is significantly higher than the X-axis, the laser does not cut, it only marks. In the interaction of both axes, for example diagonal, the laser works exactly as well as in the X-axis.

As a start type in console $RST=$ then try again and report back if you need more help.

Thanks, I’ll try that

Hello, I reset the settings. ($RS=$) Set everything up again and tested it. No success. Did the whole thing a second time. No success. This is what the result looks like from both sides. The Y axis runs too fast. See photos. Tested:
G0X300 - runtime 10 seconds.
G0Y300 - runtime 10 seconds.
G1X100 - 72 sec
G1Y100 - 14 sec
With G1 the runtime is in a ratio of 1:5. So exactly as set under $100 and $101 1:5.
Where can I change the settings now? I always think changing $100 and $101 is not the solution. Is it advisable to repair Lightburn, where can I find a program? Should Lightburn possibly be reinstalled?
Thanks for any tips

Thanks for any tips. Have a nice weekend

As a start set $32=1. I´ll check later your pic and the rest of the settings.

Danke für den Tipp.
Habe ich alles neu eingerichtet. kommt kein anderes Ergebnis. Mich stört das Verhältnis 1:5, wie unter $100,$101. Bei der Riemenspannung könnte es eine geringe Abweichung sein , denke ich.

What machine is this? Your profile mention Sculpfun S10.

What GRBL settings did you change when setting things up?

As your rot/linear mechanics are different your speeds and acceleration rates will be different for each axis. For now keep the Y settings because the implicit lines seems to be straight. Try changing $110=1000.000 $120=10.000 one at a time. Lower these values by 10% to 20% each time until all is ok. Notice however that your laser interpolation moves will become slower.

Test and report back.

Hello, I have tried many options. I cannot find a solution. At a speed of 500mm/sec, the running time of both axes is the same. But I cannot cut with that. Is there a way to set the speed of the axes separately? If I set the speed to 100mm/min, the X-axis runs at 100mm/min and the Y-axis at 500mm/min. Lightburn allows drives with different speeds ($100, $101, $102) but I cannot find a point where I can compensate for this speed. Do I have to change the belt drive to a spindle? Then I need a spindle with the same pitch. I am desperate.
Thanks for any tips and happy holidays to everyone.

$100, $101, $102 are not speeds, it´s a setting fine tuned so that 1mm move in software translates to 1mm move in your machine.

May you Make the changes I asked and report back?

I have followed your advice. No useful result. All working speeds below 500mm/min move the axes at different speeds. From 500mm/min the axes are in synchronism. The table below shows this.
Thank you for any further tips.

I can’t insert an Excel table. Please give me an email address. Thanks
