I’m strugling with my laserpointer which is parralel mounted next to the laserhead. I’m using the offset function in the software. For a job it is running fantastic see photo. When i start up a “frame” from lightburn software, so going around the job to see if its fit on the material it is getting wrong. It is describing the frame without the offset compensated. Is this normal behaviour. I would expect it describes also the actual frame with the offset compensated. Am i doing something wrong ?
‘Frame’ is not offset at all, because you’re using the red dot to see where the job will go. The laser itself is offset when the job runs, so it matches where the frame went.
Thanks for the fast responce. I can’t follow you complete in the last sentence. The frame matches where it would go without the compensation. This is the behaviour, so using the frame function now is for me not usefull anymore.because the frame is shifted from where the actual job is running. Am i doing something wrong ?
Frame does not apply any offset at all. The red dot pointer frames the outline of the job. With your laser, if no offsets were applied to anything, your frame would go where the red square is, and the laser would follow the black:
The offset is applied to the laser (the black square) to make it line up with the frame (the red square). Is this not what you are seeing?
You are right it is working like you describe. I think i had a blackout yesterday. thanks for the support. The Co2 laser was at that time not working i had to follow it in my mind. .
