Vectric Customer

Not sure of this is what you're looking for but... Image1.jpg I vcarved it with a 60° bit. I loaded the image into Paint Shop Pro, sharpened it a little to get the lighter lines to show better, and blurred the image a little to get smoother lines. Then imported it and did a trace. Juggled a few poin...

Without seeing the VCarve file, and the GCode file, it would only be a wild guess. Machines that lose position don't gain it back later in the files.

Image1.jpg If you Create a Vector Boundary Around Selected Components, it is about the same thing, but if you don't have a a vector drawn you'll get an error message telling you that you don't have a vector selected. You might also have a vector drawn that doesn't completely cover the model, in whi...

You might also check the extension on the file. If your pendant is looking for a certain file extension, it won't pick up something else.

On the bar at the top, click Edit -> Selection -> Select All Duplicate Vectors. Then hit Delete.

Thanks Greg.

Something that might be a clue... If I set the pass depth too shallow, like the image on the right (0.02), I get the error. But if I increase it just a little, like the image on the left (0.05), it outputs the code correctly.

Thanks Brian.

A customer of ours sent me rounding toolpath file today. I couldn't post the file but these lines are part of the file.

I do quite a bit of writing/drawing with the CNC machine and felt tip markers. I have a tool that allows my marker to lift up into the tool when it is pressed onto the material so that it doesn't drive into the material or smash my marker. I normally use Profile toolpaths and set my depth at just a ...

I'm thinking that it's one of two things... either it's losing position, or the resolution for the rotary axis is is set incorrectly. If, as Randall suggested, you command a 360° move and it doesn't rotate your workpiece exactly one complete turn, no more, no less, and it is repeatable, it's a resol...

Are all of the motors the same size? Measure from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole across them and get a measurement. At least one of the motors looks like it's a double stack motor (meaning more powerful). What are the drivers that are running the current motors? Brand, model? Are they se...

Here is how I handle text on top of text:
Here is how it works:

Just so that everyone knows, Shop Sabre sometimes adds a tangential knife to their machines. With the correct post processor, their knives can trace toolpaths similarly to a router. When they come to an angle that is too sharp, the head lifts, rotates the blade to the correct angle, reinserts, and c...
