General Mach Discussion / Engraving problems

« on: April 01, 2020, 05:09:24 AM »

Good day

I have a problem when i engrave on my laser machine
When i engrave with a zigzag patron the design moves in one direction even tho the mach 3 software say it is in position
but if i engrave in a fill it engraves without moving the design
also if i do normal cutting of parts all comes out fine and straight
 
I made a couple of test and the results is always the same in the same direction and the same amount   
Attach some photo of the out come of my test
has any body came across a simile problem and do you have advice
machine as been doing it from the begging

I use aspire to do the designs and to write the gcodes

Thank you in advance
