    Laser Turns on 1 to 2 seconds before Moving

    Hi I have a home made CNC Table Running with Mach3 and I added a Laser to it. I have the problem that the laser turns on 1 to 2 seconds before the laser starts to move. leaving a burn dot at the start of every burn.Any suggestions would be truly appreciated.

    What commands are you using to turn the laser on?

    Hi,
    Mach3 does have a couple of commands that turns the laser on or off exactly at the moment the axis starts (or stops) moving. Note that many Chinese external motion controllers do not
    support those Mach3 specific commands.
