I just realized that the laser platform of my brand-new Artisan seems to be uneven.
For me it seems that the two “fins” at the center of the platform are slightly higher (~0.2mm) than the others (see attached picture).
So if I mount a workpiece to the platform centrally, it will always be bended slightly,
which I think has an impact to the focus point of the laser.
Has anyone the same issue? Is your laser platform perfectly even or does it look like mine?
Maybe that could be the reason why I get unpredictable results at laser cutting.
Sometimes the laser cuts through the material (4mm plywood) perfectly, but sometimes it does not cut through completely, although with same material and exactly same settings/parameters.
As I’m new to laser cutting, does anyone have some suggestions or ideas how to fix that issue?
Hi
Yes I have the same problem. I treid to loose the screws in the middle and assemble it again. It’s a little bit better, but not perfect. I have to try it again
I have the same issue. The plate should be made form one peace not two. The honeycomb pattern might be better. I’m thinking of buying honeycomb working plate and attaching it to the table.
@av3m@werosys@scottofazphx@TobiH@Savoie@spindle_dev@mucaco Hi everyone, I learned from the technical support team that the slight unevenness of the laser platform should not impact the laser work since the 10W laser module has a relatively long depth of field.
However, if the unevenness affects the laser work, please make sure to submit a ticket to the support team at: Support Ticket Form
