Without laser and/or engravery type, I'm guessing...
Does it say Alarm or Pause at the lower right corner when it stops?

Or does it continue moving without the laser being powered on?

Does it stop engraving at the same spot, or at randomly?
It might worth checking your TTL wiring, as it might come loose, rendering your laser 'always off'

What is your laser's optical power? It seems the laser fails to start lasing as the material is too light-coloured. Similar when you try to cut something from white paper, the laser sometimes does not have enough time to 'bite' in the paper, and can't start cutting.
Try lowering engraving speed or giving more power to your laser durnig your engraving job.
Or if you can't adjust those values, try darker wood.

We has changed the speed (faster and slower) we have also changed the s-max power up and down but nothing seems to be working and we have been using the same wood up to now with no problems.

It also looks like it might be slightly out of focus, have you tried adjusting the lens to get a smaller sharper dot. The laser dot is a rectangle not a round dot. So you really have to get it as small as possible. If you can see it with eye protection on then focus it you will notice that the sides of the rectangle start to move in to the center, if you go too far the top and bottom lines of the rectangle start to move apart.

HI,
We now have the same problem. It was a "small circle" and now it is this rectangle shape, I have tried to make it go back to the small circle without luck, any ideas?

When you focus it use a black non reflective surface, you can see the dot better. I'ts only a really small amount between in and out of focus.

Thank you for that. We ended up taking apart the laser completely and re-doing it. We found a few loose screws (lol not us mind you) and were able to re-focus the laser. If it happens again I will do what you suggested !
