Machine Problems

The machine won't start up - it complains about a missing operating system?

The firmware on the machine controller will try to load new software from any USB stick which is inserted into the machine at start up.

  • Turn off the machine with the POWER OFF button.
  • Unplug the USB drive from the USB socket on the side of the machine electrical cabinet.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds.
  • Press the POWER ON button.
  • Continue the startup procedure as normal.

Program/CAM Problems

Y-axis offset too small

This is an intermittent problem which only occurs for certain machine users. There can be a number of causes - it's tricky because sometimes a file which is exactly just exported at a different time will work perfectly fine. Ask a member of technical staff for help, but this is what we will recommend you try:

  • Post each operation as a separate file, and run these files separately.
  • Move the work away from the edge of your material slightly.
  • Move the lead-in linking position away from the origin position.
