Sorry if is somewhere posted but I didnt find.

Namely my machine seted very well laser point in center aligned.
when start project from one point i marked with laser he do engraving on eye looked good but when go to cut he missed about 7mm move all project to the left side.
Of course ruin all table
After he finish he go to start position I mark again and find out 7mm to left on X axis and 2.5mm on Y axis

I tried everything but unsuccsefull

Any clue? any suggestion very welcome!

PS chinese laser with ruida controller rd6445g (ec) total work time only 50hours tube 4hours its new machine

Im out of idea what can be wrong

I'm not sure why the cuts would misalign with the scan in the Y direction.

I think the cut is in the correct place. The scan is in the wrong place (it is 7mm too far to the right). You can adjust this by going to
CONFIG -> SYSTEM SETTING
Tick the box named "Scanning (Reverse Interval)".
Add a setting for the speed you're scanning. Try different values for "Offset repay" (in English, this should be "Offset Compensation"). You may need to put in a negative number (-7.00).

Good luck!

Hi Jeffery,

I'm having a similar problem, but it doesn't seem consistent. I have a 50W Chinese Orion Motor Tech laser (12x20 bed) with a Ruida controller and RDWorks. I've gone in and set the Scanning and reverse interval to align the bi-directional printing. I followed https://cartonus.com/how-to-improve-eng ... r-machine/ for instructions and was able to print a small square at a low interval (.5) to see if the lines were good.

After that I printed my artwork. The strange part is the scan area and the outline cut area area not aligned. in some places. I'm engraving a series of letters. Some of them line up without issue and others do not. It seems somewhat random. I can't figure out where to go from here. Any thoughts?

Hi Mike,

A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words Would you mind posting a picture of both the letters that align and those that don't align?

I have some opinions and some suggestions, but they may not apply to your issue, so I'd like to understand your issue a little better first.

Regards,

-Jeff
