That certainly shouldn't prevent the edger from being set to groove manually. Can the edger be set to do a flat bevel in that case? I'm sorry I can't just go test this myself, but I'm not in the office, and won't be for a few days. I'll ask someone to investigate.Quote:

Ahh, that you did, I just missed it! sorry, I'll pay better attention after I've met Ava!
I'm still not back in the office, but they tell me this: To work around this problem, select a custom groove and modify the grooving depth. Press start and the edger will process the lens.
Apparently, the issue is that the edger in this case doesn't know the groove dimensions. We can set Innovations to provide groove dimensions in those cases in which they're not otherwise specified. Can you send me your e-mail address please?
Thank You !
I will give this a go this A.M. as i have some nylor jobs that are in line to be edged. I will let you know how i make out. Thanks once again for your help and quick repley on this.:)
The edger went through all the steps ,cut , flat bevel .......then put a groove about 2/10"s of a mil.Then proceded to polish ........everything went fine up to that point. After the polish cycle the wheel came up to lens to groove and stalled, and gave me an error code of A8~7 :(
What values did you enter for groove width & depth?Quote:

I'm thinking that you may be using values that are out of range for the machine. I'm pretty sure that 0.05mm is outside its resolution. That's why I'd like to know what values you're using.Quote:

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with this matter.The values that you sent to me do indeed fix this. Again thanks for all of your time and effort.Quote:

Inside of a few days working with it you could almost make it sing. Regular bevels were beautiful, normal nylon mount rimless were great. Took a while to perfect settings for strip titanium and Ait Titanium Rim frames...either a wider groove or a deeper and wider groove needed once we wrote a cheat sheet, all was fantastic
If at all possible set up this or for that matter ANY machine for fresh water plumbing rather than a recirculating bucket. I used a fabric bag inside of a holding tank and a pump with float switch to pump the water overboard

It turns out it was just the optical encoder that mounts to the back of the motor. no big deal, it costed 60 bucks. Gerber tech support stinks...its better to figure it out yourself.
Does anyone have a recomendation on what retail software best integrates with innovations? Let me know
Thanks,
jcd
I believe CC Systems now has a retail program and I know that they had used the innovations platform for their surfacing program.

I am going to get the new Kapa edger with drill unit even thou I don't know how to fix any Gerber equipement!
Ruth, If your doing alot of dril mounts-take a look at the Briot Axcell CLD. Interested in a live demonstration or chat on the phone about capabilities?
. The Kappa and the Briot Access CL have been suggested to me. I am somewhat of a perfectionist; I prefer an edger that can consistently cut jobs on axis (not just "close enough"). We do a lot of drill mounts, so axis is really critical. Anyone have any comments? Thanks![/QUOTE]
Hands down the Kappa CTD is a superior drilling edger over the Briot Accell. Kappa can drill perpendicular to the lense surface, has the best pin bevel available, the smallest edging capability on the market, etc., etc....
