I have been doing 3D cutting a composite material with our spacegear for about a year now. There has been a few crashes. The problem is that the composite is non metallic so that the height sensor does not work. I am currently training a replacement operator because I am moving to operate a new...
After cutting some beveled ring parts we noticed a .75mm difference from one side to the other. After checking plate flatness(which was only out by 2mm over a 8 foot span) and running the calibration procedure it appears that the angle B calibration is not holding for some reason. I can dial it...
I am having trouble narrowing down a cutting condition that is consistent for a 20 degree bevel on a space gear MKII 4k watt laser. I am cutting am 0 shaped part that is beveled 20* towards the inside and 20* towards the outside. creating a A shaped profile for the part. The cut is leaving very...
