Hallo, ich habe einen Woxcker JL 7 10 W Laser, die aktuelle Version von Lightburn welche auf Windows 11 läuft.
Bisher lief alles so weit auch gut. Nun möchte ich ein Wasteboard nutzen. Die Vorlage ist gelasert und sieht 1:1 aus, wie die Arbeitsfläche in Lightburn.
Absolute Koordinaten sind eingestellt, mein Nullpunkt (nennt man das so?) ist unten links (wo X+Y Achse aufeinander treffen).
Nun mein Problem: das Motiv sitzt am Bildschirm auf der richtigen Position, kommt aber verschoben gelasert raus.
Kann mir jemand helfen, wie ich ggf eine Einstellung anpassen muss?
Vielen Dank Anna
Hello, I have a Woxcker JL 7 10 W laser and the latest version of Lightburn, which runs on Windows 11.
So far, everything’s been going well. Now I want to use a wasteboard. The template is lasered and looks exactly like the workspace in Lightburn.
Absolute coordinates are set, and my origin (is that what it’s called?) is at the bottom left (where the X and Y axes meet).
Now my problem: the design is in the correct position on the screen, but comes out shifted.
Can anyone help me with how I might need to adjust a setting?
Thank you, Anna
By shifted, do you mean the 0,0 burn is not in the corner point of the part?
Your laser frame has to be fixed in position so it cannot move.
The work table or honeycomb also has to be fixed in position.
You have to ensure the beam (use the Fire button in the Move window) is at the exact corner point of your work wasteboard corner mark.
You have to Jog the Yaxis away from the limit switch and make sure the beam is on the line at the other end to ensure your laser is square with your marked wasteboard.
You have to be using Absolute Coords only, and have limit switches.
You should re-Home the machine anytime you suspect there is a positioning issue, like when it hits a rail or snags on something.
If you meet all these requirements, you should have no trouble getting repeatable and predictable positioning.
I just did all of this with 2 of my lasers. The frames were anchored, but the honeycombs were not. I got tired of having to reposition everything all the time.
One thing you might have to compensate for is when Overscan is being used. I use a thin sliver of 2.8mm plywood as a shim and offset my entire part drawing 2.8mm as needed in X and/or Y position. This will prevent out of bounds errors.
Thanks for your reply.
1-5 should be ok, I hope that I understood 4 correct. I have to add a wasteboard corner mark.
Now No. 6 seems to be an issue.
Pressing the home button, the laser moves to the Y axis (left side), and you can hear the click from the switch, no movement in any other direction.
So I manually moved it and pressed Home again. Now the laser moves to my 0Point but won’t stop. It tries to go further down on the Y axis with a loud and irritating sound, it hits the frame. I have to switch off the device, it won’t stop on its own. It seems there is no end point set up for the Y axis. Is that possible?
