dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 Dont know why this is happening but I'm using vinylmaster DSR and a liyu DF631 cutter I can cut a design and then load another one and when I click cut now nothing happens. It let's me go right to the cut now pop up and the only way round it is to turn the cutter off and send it again and cut now? Then it works? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted May 4, 2020 Have you tried to submit a ticket to VinylMaster? Instead of restarting the cutter, have you tried to restart VinylMaster instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 Thanks not sure which is at fault? Vinylmaster or the cutter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 You should always be dumping the data from the last order, by turning off or reset. Possibly overloading the memory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 Just tried a reset on the cutter and it worked. Only trouble is I normally set new point of origin etc and then send to cut. It would mean having to set new point of origin everytime if I have to reset everytime which can not be right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 You should be setting a new origin point every time. That is where the cutter starts measuring the design to be cut from. That is why you push the ORIGIN button. That is your X0 Y0 point. ORIGIN is your starting point to start measuring your design to be cut. . Unless you have multiple copies of same design that your running at the same time. But you still hit ORIGIN before you send that group of multiples. I push all of my buttons so fast on my cutter from memory, that I don't even have to think about pushing the ORIGIN button. Every cutter has a certain amount of memory, and your cutter is not going to accept more data until it has room for more. That is either by shutting it off or resetting it. When you turn the cutter off or reset, you no longer have an origin point. What do you think ORIGIN is for? Feel free to look it up online The origin IS the starting point for the cutter but may not be the starting point for the cut. It basically just denotes the zero point on both axis' and you will usually have to push the enter button once you move the cutting head and feed roller to zero it back out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 I do set a new origin point everytime? What I was saying is I set a new point of origin everytime and then press cut. If it dont cut and I have to press reset I have to set the point of origin again after the reset? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 So maybe I have to reset everytime? Then set point of origin afterwards? Sometimes it's fine, sometimes its not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 I turn my cutter off and back on for every order. That way the data is dumped. Then no problems. I usually run very large orders, like 20" wide x 96" long and even longer than that. Some 27" w x 16 ft. . My niche' is large decals. Some are very detailed with a lot of nodes. And I am running a Graphtec. Maybe your cutter has limited memory. It's not about the size, but the amount of nodes. I don't know anything about your cutter, but the Liyu cutters that are sold on UScutter have a limited memory. We have seen it for years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi thanks it has a 1GB memory so should be able to cope with more than 3 jobs in a row? They were simple t shirt size text with a small graphic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 Then ask your Liyu tech support, what the problem is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Submit the ticket anyway, then at least you'll be in the line up for support when they return to work. A lot of companies may be 'working from home' and it really doesn't hurt, if you're going to submit a trouble ticket anyway, sooner is always better than later.

dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 Its basically the same as a Liyu DC, TC 631 was told it had the same motherboard when setting up the only difference is that it has a servo instead of a stepper motor Liyu DF631 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 It could not possibly have the same board. The Liyu SC and the SC2 stepper cutters don't have ARMS. They have manual contour cutting. These cutters are sold as value cutters at USCutter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 It seems to work like a dream, except for this question. Its my first cutter and never used one ever before, i didnt even know they existed. Its so far cut with ease every thing ive asked it to do. Its super quiet and fine detail to less than a mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 Like I have already stated, no one here has the cutter. Nor is it like the Liyu cutters already sold here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted May 4, 2020 The LIYU DF cutter has ARMS LIYU DF but also is a servo motor model for £679 The other 2 models under it both have ARMS but stepper motors instead The LIYU DC cutter has ARMS LIYU DC with ARMS for £527 Also the LIYU TC cutter has ARMS LIYU TC631 with ARMS for £396 All have the same motherboard and a 1GB memory. When i bought the cutter my model was not listed and was told to use either the DC or TC model software The Lazerpoint cutters on UScutters have the same carriage as the LIYU models so i assume they are very similair or just rebranded. The DF model is quite a new model Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2020 Many same drivers work for many different vinyl cutters. Some people use the Graphtec 50 for the newer Graphtecs in Signblazer. Redsail for the Refine. and many others. Roland PNC 1000 is a universal driver that can work for many different cutters. The Saga /TItan vinyl cutter runs on a Copam driver in Signblazer.
