Cut time increases depending upon position of image

Hello,

I have this issue from time to time where the cut time increases depending upon the location of the image. There seems to be an invisible vertical line to the left of which the traverse lines start at the first black pixel and to the left of which the traverse lines start at the right hand side of the whole image. It’s difficult to explain in words, but hopefully the images make it clearer.

What’s going on? Is this a bug? I haven’t discovered how to reliably reproduce this effect, but it can be frustrating when it adds a significant amount of time to the job.

Thanks
Pete

Can you post the artwork?


We would also like to know the settings of the ‘laser window’, “Start from” and “Job origin”


It’s pretty clear what’s happening from the ‘show transversal moves’ being enabled is that the head is moving all the way to the right side on every pass… all of that is wasted time…

The .lbrn2 file would be nice … see if we can duplicate it…

Thanks for getting back to me. How’s this?

I could not make it do what your first shot shows…

I would guess there was a line or something over there that caused it…

Unless there is something there, no reason to move the head there…

Nice bee…

Thanks Jack. It isn’t just this image that I have had the issue with but it doesn’t happen all the time. But I can recreate it with this file. I have captured a video to prove I’m not going mad, but I cannot upload it here. I was hoping it was a known issue but, as it’s not, I shall persevere trying to understand how to reproduce (and thus avoid) the issue.

You’re dithering an image that’s pure black and white. Just set it to Threshold and that will likely fix the issue.

The position of it on the workspace shouldn’t affect what gets output, but I tried it here and wasn’t able to reproduce what you’re getting.

Yea, yea sure you’re not… :exploding_head:


They don’t allow certain types of file extensions and files over 4mB in size.

If you wish to post a video you can upload it to something like Google drive and post the link here …

If it has some other extension you can add a ‘.txt’ on it and post it…
