Full Version: Should I Buy 25W Laser Engraver?

Dave;

What is the proper procedure for swapping tables (flat, vector, rotary) on a VL-200? Sometimes after I swap tables, the laser won't run another file without considerable delay (minutes) and the autofocus (z-height keyed into the print properties) won't set the proper height (ie no movement). Once the file does start, if I stop it and restart it, everything will function as it should. The several minute delay is the main problem.

I've gotten into the habit of resetting the z-axis (under the focus tab), then swapping tables. This has improved the situation, but it still happens (very infrequently). It's a minor inconvenience, but I'd like to eliminate the problem if I can.

Thanks.

Hi Carl,

I’m not exactly sure why you’re experiencing problems when swapping accessories in and out of your VL-200. I would suggest you check to be sure the honeycomb cutting table and rotary fixture are seated securely on the recessed electrical connector and aligning pins. Also, check to be sure that all of the electrical pins are free of dirt and debris and that none of them are bent or broken. If that doesn’t fix the problem, send me a PM with your machine’s serial number and I’ll work with our service department to find a solution for you.

All the best,

Dave

Carl,

What version of software do you currently have? (you can find it in the VCP under about).
