Release notes - GoProduce Laser Edition

Back to Software / Firmware

Summa GoProduce Laser Edition - Version 2.2.1

Released: December 8, 2023


Changes to 2.2.1

Improvements

  • Fixed size: better angle calculation for shapes where the height is different from the width.
  • Fixed size (smart compensation): cut shapes are now only aligned in the X direction so the cut is more evenly distributed on the left and right of long shapes.

Fixed Issues

  • Solved: issue in interpretation of Vision Camera calibration causing the cut to shift after a feed.
  • Solved: "Invalid number of barcode characters" can occur in some cases when reading barcode with the vision camera.

Summa GoProduce Laser Edition - Version 2.2.0

Released: September 9, 2023


Changes to 2.2.0

New Features

  • "Backup logging" functionality in "General" ribbon tab for troubleshooting.
  • Added Korean language and translations.

Improvements

  • Doesn’t allow to confirm device configuration if serial number is absent or invalid (unless it is a plot to file device), and shows info message "Invalid device serial number!".
  • Now checks the minimum rom revision at device configuration. Shows info message "GoProduce LE requires at least firmware revision XX" if not high enough.
  • Changed minimum rom revision to 3007 for L3214 and to 8 for L1810gen2.
  • Logging of images when reading barcode if "LogLevel" application setting is set high enough.
  • Faster timeout on mark recognition with the vision camera.
  • Show proper error message when an user tries to import a material manager using the "import" button instead of using the "restore" function.
  • Slightly increased width of virtual camera window for vision so that there's the same amount of margin for mark detection in both directions.
  • More intelligent calculation of which marks to read to accurately do a prefeed.
  • Fixed size compensation: improved center calculation for segmented shapes.
  • Marks necessary to calculate prefeed are now sorted "by main direction (vertical)" instead of "by nearest object", resulting in better mark prediction in some cases.
  • Fixed size compensation: improved center of shape calculation for shapes with noticeable difference in deformation at opposite sides of the shape.
  • Optional property to "Crop to page size" when importing PDF files where figure is outside of the MediaBox to only import the visible part.
  • The possibility to request to enter a job name on the "Load material" action which will be used in the "Joblog" if no job name is available, for example when using the "Trace" action.
  • Uses slightly smaller region when searching the barcode line with the camera for stability.
  • Added hidden contrast setting to barcode profile to cope with white space being detected as barcode line.
  • Job time logging and job identification for Trace&Cut.
  • Output option to omit waste cut on first segment.

Fixed Issues

  • Solved: "Rendering" option under "General" tab is no longer working correctly and always remains on "Hardware" after application restart.
  • Solved:" Select layer" action does not work with native file types (.sgsj, .sgpj, .sglj).
  • Solved: "An unexpected error occurred" when cutting print&cut jobs containing vertical lines with "Fixed size (smart compensation)".
  • Solved: "Marks are too far apart in X direction" error can occur randomly when trying to output a print&cut file.
  • Solved: Using the"Restore" function to restore action sets with an XML file that does not match the expected XML results in an empty action set being "restored".
  • Solved: GoProduce LE license is not activated for all users on a pc but only for the active user.
  • Solved: Properties that use the DoubleUpDown control will incorrectly display a red border indicating that the value is exceeding the limit even when it's still an acceptable value when using "inch" or "cm" as unit.
  • Solved: too long prefeed in some cases because of using X and Z axes with vision calibration.
  • Solved: Shift between segments with "Fixed size" compensation because of using X and Z axes with vision calibration.
  • Solved: Creating zip archive on "Feed and roll scan" can take too long if the previous job was very long.

Summa GoProduce Laser Edition - Version 2.1.0

Released: March 2, 2023


New Features

  • Export to PDF (PRO PACK).
  • Page select on import for multipage PDF documents.
  • Added USB driver vision camera to installer.
  • Added “Trace and Cut.pdf” sample file.

Improvements

  • Support segment connector for Trace & Cut.
  • Minimum allowed value for segment connector of 0.1 mm.
  • Support CCT format for serial numbers.
  • Add application settings .xml files under ProgramData in order to zip backup archive, created on "Load" action for better troubleshooting.
  • Sample file to setup the power to cut a material.
  • Rename "Zund" and "Esko" titles to "ZCC" and "i-CUT".
  • Changed minimum width and length for "Plot to file" to 100 mm, changed maximum and default width and length to 50 m.
  • Different error message than “Predicted mark lies outside of media area" when barcode detection tries to move outside the media area.
  • Slightly improved mark prediction to solve inaccuracies with jobs having a "bowing" effect.

Fixed Issues

  • Solved: In some cases, GoProduce LE can crash when entering the serial number during activation.
  • Solved: Opening a .sgsj file will still show the previous file name as job title instead of the actual .sgsj file name.
  • Solved: When executing a print & cut job, "Apply" mark can be available even though there's no mark detected.
  • Solved: Mark detection can get stuck, jumping endlessly from one position to another.
  • Solved: Saving PDF file as a .sglj file while the property "Separate layers for PDF" is set to "by color" and re-opening the newly saved .sglj file would result in invisible lines.

Summa GoProduce Laser Edition - Version 2.0.1

Released: January 3, 2023


Changes to 2.0.1

Improvements

  • Support multiple activation licenses for production.
  • Increased max value of margin of clean-up actions (Reduce nodes, Remove double lines/objects, Break at intersections, Close objects) to 3 mm (3/32 in).
  • Trace&Cut: faster tracing by skipping seed points that would have the same result as seed points that were already used. Skipped seed points are shown in a different colour.
  • "Colour bar" option in "Trace" action to cope with long printed colour bars at the sides of the job.
  • For Trace&Cut, seed left and right on the first segment to cope with colour bar printed at one side of the material.
  • Changed default park distance to 750 mm (29,53 in) in "Load Material" action and default action set "Feed and roll scan".

Fixed issues

  • Solved: Zund and Esko options are not hidden in the Import Job action properties window when Pro Pack is not activated.
  • Solved: "Close objects" action sometimes chooses the wrong objects to close, for example in a raster of rectangles.
  • Solved: Wrong regmark size when importing Esko files which are defined inches.
  • Solved: GoProduce LE 2.0.0 can crash on activation because of missing QrCoder.dll in installation folder.
  • Solved: During Trace&Cut, only cancels after "Tracing" step when cancel was pressed when "Filtering" was busy, which might cause a long time before the process is cancelled.
  • Solved: For Trace&Cut, sometimes unwanted horizontal lines are generated at the bottom of a scan that doesn't cover the complete working area.
  • Solved: Waste cut cutting through shapes on the first segment of a trace&cut job.
  • Solved: Wrong (circle) regmark position when importing ZCC or CUT file.

Summa GoProduce Laser Edition - Version 2.0

Released: September 9, 2022


Changes to 2.0

New Features

  • New supported file formats for import action: .SVG , ZCC (Pro Pack) and CUT (Pro Pack).

Improvements

  • Don't go into fatal error when an error is reported by the L3214.
  • Improved nearest object sorting: now uses current position as initial start point instead of device origin for each segment, resulting in less up movements.
  • Reuse marks of last segment of previous job to predict marks of first segment of next job in barcode workflow.
  • Allow manual intervention when Predicted mark lies outside working area" error occurs instead of going into fatal error."
  • More optimal movements when using cut-on-the-fly and waste cut.
  • Fixed size compensation improvements for segmented shapes.
  • Added option No action" on end of job."
  • Now only imports first page for multipage PDF documents.
  • Segmentation margin which allows 5% scaling and 1° angle.
  • Working area is now shown on top of scan images to make clear where the user can move the virtual camera window and the difference in working area with Cut-on-the-fly.
  • Increased max value for Media edge offset" in "Trace" action from 100mm to 150mm."
  • Separate Media edge left offset" and "Media edge right offset" options instead of one single "Media edge offset" option in the "Trace" action."

Fixed issues

  • Solved: Waste cut issues with print&cut jobs that have open shapes inside closed shapes.
  • Solved: Bad mark prediction with scaled and/or rotated jobs.
  • Solved: Start of job (L3214) or IN command (L1810Gen2) only sent after a prefeed.
  • Solved: Start of job (L3214) or IN command (L1810Gen2) not sent in case of prefeed of a segment without cut data.
  • Solved: Cut-on-the-fly not working on the L3214.
  • Solved: Median filter only filters in horizontal direction.
  • Solved: First segment of print&cut jobs is not cut correctly with Cut-on-the-fly.
  • Solved: Barcode reading issues.
  • Solved: Prefeed can be too long for jobs with bowing effect, resulting in mark prediction errors. Reading more marks in the first segment prior to the prefeed solves this.
  • Solved: GoProduce LE sometimes misses the first mark after a prefeed of jobs with a bowing effect.
  • Solved: Line not found" when reading barcode on mesh material."
  • Solved: Corner not found" when reading barcode on mesh material."
  • Solved: Set cutting speed command is missing in HPGL cutlog of L3214.
