What Software contoller to use

Hello guys ,
I just bought a used Chinese laser machine. I am looking for a solution to turn it on.
the problem is that I dont know the software to control it.
I tried .plt .dxf .ai files directly with a flash drive but it does not work.
the machine is well connected to my computer and the drivers are well installed.

the driver is Yako Driver "YKA2304ME".
also, i found some .out files in it's intern memory and that works perfectly.
I do not know if there is a universal software that runs this kind of laser machine.
please help me and thank you in advance

Hi M-Wael
You need to verify which controller you have installed. The most common Chinese controllers are: Leetro and Ruida.
If you have a Leetro controller, the software you should use is LaserCut. The file format is .mol for download from a flash drive.
If you have a Ruida controller, the software you should use is RDWorks. The file format is .rd for download from a flash drive.

Good luck and Best regards

Depending on the brand and type of controller in your machine, you can use a variety of software. However, before we further understand, we need to distinguish between laser design software and laser control software. They are usually used in pairs, but they are designed to do different things. Laser design software is used to create graphics, which can be cut on the laser cutting machine in the future. CorelDRAW, Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator are among the most popular products. Laser control software (called cam in the CNC world) is used to convert graphic design into a set of commands, which can be understood by the laser controller and then converted into a coordinate list. https://monportlaser.com

Final Thoughts

Different manufacturers use different laser controllers for their engraving machines. The type of controller will limit the options for which software you can use to communicate with these controllers. However, if you know more about the software with different functions, you will not be limited by the software that comes with the machine. I hope this article can help you choose the software suitable for your machine. Our Monport official website also provides the software suitable for most laser engraving machines.
