I've worked on a couple of projects this week during which the spindle will travel at various speeds (some regular speed and others extremely slow) along the outline of the projects and then makes a side cut in the project material. The spindle appears to maintain speed and the issue has only involved travel along the x and y paths. I keep the system lubricated and clean it before each job. The cuts were with a 1/4" end mill and they were fresh. Anyone have any ideas what is going on? Thank you.
BTW, I was able to salvage both jobs with some sanding and modifications.

One of the differences I made on these files was to add a ramp cut. I decided to experiement by eliminating that and rerun the files. I'm not getting the same slow down and run off.

It sounds like you're experiencing inconsistent spindle speeds and unexpected side cuts during your CNC projects, specifically along the x and y paths. Despite regular maintenance and the use of fresh tools, the issue persists. This could be due to several factors, such as incorrect toolpath settings, mechanical issues with the CNC machine, or software glitches. I recommend double-checking your toolpath settings in your CNC software to ensure they are configured correctly for your project. Additionally, inspect the machine's mechanical components, such as the belts, pulleys, and guides, for any signs of wear or misalignment. If the issue persists, contacting Monport's customer support for further assistance and troubleshooting would be advisable. With their reputation for producing high-quality and reliable laser products, they should be able to provide valuable insights and help resolve the issue with your CNC machine. monportlaser.com/collections/co2-laser-engravers/products/monport-40w-lightburn-ready-12-x-8-co2-laser-engraver-cutter-with-fda-approval?sca_ref=5031521.ka374VZjm3 |
