Versa Laser stops working & software hangs up

Post by Martin » Fri 06 Oct , 2006 1:15 am

I have come accros a problem when vector engraving (blue) from TechSoft2D Ver1.25

After a period of time the axis & beam stop part way through a operation. The VersaLaser software then hangs & the computer needs to be turned off & on to regain operation.

I copied the design from 2D design & pasted it to "Word Pad"

From there I was able to print the work & run full cycle of the laser.

Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

We've seen this problem before when outputting from Techsoft - its a weird one.

Use LaserCAM 2D or QuickCAM 2D instead - it never happens from these :wink:
- we put checks into QuickCAM 2D to get rid entities that could confuse the laser like: exactly duplicated lines, and lines of (very nearly) zero length etc...
