Just purchased and set up my Omtech Polar. I watched a bunch of videos on Lightburn and the Polar itself, and followed the steps pretty carefully. When i was cutting the Omtech Test Card, anything under a power of 20% wouldn’t cut. Do i have my potentiometer set too low? I set it to be at 20 mA while at 100% power. Is the focus off? The cutter says it has auto-focus.
Anyways, any help would be welcome. Image attached.
I dont know what you mean by “has it ever worked properly”, when i stated that i just received the cutter, and was going through the tests. This and the interval test is literally all i have done. So to answer your question, no, it has never worked properly.
The laser is auto-focusing, why would i need to do a ramp-up test to determine focus.
I tend to fall prey to things in my experise where i forget what it was like when i didn’t know the things i do now. Please remember that I know very little of what is going on in the world of lasers and cutting. I’m a rookie hobbyist, and i dont mind putting in the legwork to get the answers i need. The only problem is that there is not much information on the Polar, as of yet. I don’t know if this is a cutter issue, or a settings in lightburn issue.
As I said, I will go through your recommendations and report back.
