Move head specified distance?

[Matthias Roschk]

Hello,

thanks a lot !! I got it working

What i am struggeling with is how can i move the Laser Head in a spezified Position?

Lets say the Machine Origin is in upper left and i want to move the Laser Head from there exactly to 100x200 as example.

How can i do this in RDWorks ???

I did not found such a window where i can enter any coordinate where i want to move the Laser to.

What you are looking for is the Test Tab- home your machine and then you can specify how far to move and which direction.

I split the post as requested and... it did not work as I expected- Gene

Hello,

yes, i tried the Offset and also select "Continuos moving". But when i click on Y- for example, the Head moves a bit, but did not move to the entered offset position ?
Did i miss something ?

I assume all your measurements are metric [you being in Europe]? My bed grid is inches and the offset is mm. Also, I assume you have calibrated your axis so that 100mm is actually 100mm on the cut?
