Backlash compensation > does not compensate enough
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 8:56 pm
Hey all,
i have been able to get really good results in small details with my 2.x laser with dsp / x7 and the x_unilaterism setting. Unfortunately this is not very fast
because the laser only engraves one way. When using x_swing there is some amount of backlash which leads to an uneven edge. I already
changed the belt on the x axis from mxl to gt2 because it should have less backlash but this did not have any visible effect. What i also tried is the
backlash compensation in the lasercard software (Engrave reserve offset). I tried the recommended value and other values but i was
not able to detect any changes in the engraving. Did anyone achieve good results with backlash compensation?
thanks a lot,
tm
