Have you decided not to hire?
30k in pounds will be difficult to get a 1KW fiber - but not impossible. However, there is a lot more to it then that. your running costs are quite high in that you will need Nitrogen for Stainless...
Sorry, but the answer is simple. No. A metalcutting CO2 laser has a completely different head and controller system. Also the assist gas (probably O2) will need high-pressure piping, valves,...
Sent you a PM :)
You did remember to connect the black wire to the other end of the tube, right?
And no - that 220V power supply should be fine in your situation.
Ok - so set the backlash back to 0 because it is really only for engraving. Try set the Auto close curves to 0.1 - or even as high as 0.5. If none of that works, you have a gantry straightness issue.
Is that engraving? It looks like cutting.
100W EFR F4 ... (and 100W power supply). Should run you about US$200 for the tube and US$150 for the power supply.
Under "File Parameters" there is an "Auto Close" setting .... try that. Backlash is technically just for engraving, not cutting.
Pleasure! The only thing to look out for really is that the wiring is the same. There will be 2 green plugs, 1 x 3-lead and 1 x 6-lead. the 3-lead is mains voltage (should say FG AC AC - or similar)...
Hi there
Absolutely it is the PSU. Probably dust (with a tad of moisture) caused the initial internal arcing. Cleaning it maybe took away the dust "paste" - but by then it was too late. The reason...
It's highly unlikely that the tube is faulty - and there is no way whatsoever that the distance from the tube to the lens can make even the slightest difference if everything is aligned. You seem to...
@KHOUJ - no-one said you are stupid - just the idea, in my opinion.
If you have a Leetro controller from 2003, who knows what would "repair" it.
However, you need to carefully read the OP's...
@ Roger : That is on the production line - and highly unlikely to be with soap and water - more likely some type of solvent. And it's NOT just a PCB - it is encased in plastic. If others read this...
All Ruida controllers show 3000 for the Z-Axis when it is "home" - why Ruida thought this would be acceptable, I don't know - but it is correct. The X and Y though, should show as 0.000.
I made...
What? Are you crazy? djmunt SAID he has a RDC6442G controller - which means it's a Ruida controller - you are talking about a Leetro controller. Don't confuse the issue if you can't read the...
It certainly seems to be putting out too much current - for your tube (which may be the issue, and could damage the tube). A 50W tube should not be run at more than 28 mA. There should be a tiny...
The best way to check (if you don't have a H/T tester) is to put a multimeter set on mA in series between the black wire (the return wire from the tube) and the power supply. With the power set on...
The tube is not getting enough power - that power supply is definitely too small.
Sent you a PM ...

You might want to consider a Waterjet cutter - depending on your budget.
Hi All
I'm based in Cape own, South Africa. I install, maintain, repair and train people on various laser cutters/engravers.
