Hi there
First, check the panel to know if the motherboard setting is on B1 and not on M2. The settings must match your laser type.
If that is checked and nothing improves, then there is high...
Hey there,We can’t infer directly that your machine has a power supply problem.First, it might be a problem with the cooling system of your CNC laser cutting machine. Check the professional water...
Hello there.I'd expect it to work smoothly. You could also hire a technician to take a look, it might be a problem with the setup or the ball bearings.
Choosing between lead screws and racks would depend on how much work you plan to perform and how efficient you want it to be. Since you said it's just an hobby machine that won’t do much work on a...
Sorry to hear about that. I got some information on this forum that might be of help. Try to get HSMWorks (HSMWorks + Integrated CAM for solid works) for producing programs. To set your parameters,...
Hey thereBased on your 90 degrees arrangement, Counter bores with anchors is a better option. They are stronger than carriage bolts, Counter bores give room for such arrangement.
Hello there.You should have no worries using the Renishaw TRS2. It is very reliable and it can stand up very well to coolants as it is built to by-pass random light patterns created by coolants and...
Hello thereC02 technology offers you a greater degree of freedom and hence can be used on a wide range of materials. However, Fiber lasers are cheaper to maintain and more environmental friendly and...
Hello there,
You should insulate the shaft!
Leaving it without insulation leaves you at risk of electric shocks or worse still electrocution. Please do insulate it
Hello there,For engraving paper, wood and acrylic, you should get a CO2 laser marking machine. These lasers deliver high peak power, with excellent beam quality and high pulse frequency. For a...
Hey
Some Slater Rotary Broach tool holders have screws that hold them together, if yours is one of those then you can get a suitable screw driver to open it up. If it has no visible screws then I...
Hello. Yeah, you can use the 80w power supply with the 40w tube. However, you'd need to use a potentiometer to control the voltage level. That will make it suitable for your tube.
A very great review you've written there about your new 80W CO2 Laser Engraver.
We’d both agree that CO2 lasers are most popular for their high efficiency and great beam quality.
You could...
Hi there,
Matsuura MC-500V Mini-Master were built to be extremely solid machines. I'm not surprised it's still used till now.
The only con I can think of is the archaic analog controls. If...
Hi there,
Trying to convert those machines with different operating principles can be quite a task.
I'd rather suggest you purchase a new one.
You can read more on their operating...
Hi there,
To confirm if it's your tube or PSU not working, detach the positive and negative wires that connects to the tube and attach them to sides of a small metal rod.
Start your machine...
Hey there,
For the best deal on the driver you asked for, check out this link

When I needed mine I got it...
Yes, it would work out perfectly when you reverse the driver to stepper polarity.
Cheers!
I learnt the machinist trade from my dad who worked for a top metal cutting and engraving company in Russia.
He had his metal cutting machine in the garage on which he did some projects.
As I...

Hi there,
You can follow this guide in the photo attached for the pin out for - RDC6442S(EC) controller.

Hi there,
You could try rewiring the connections as follow in this resource link. (http://pangolin.com/LD2000/qm2000pinouts.htm)
Note that pinout is the same with every controller.

Hi there,
It's very necessary to have protection for this range of laser gun.
Based on the wavelength of laser light a 500mW produces, you need about 106 meters clearance distance from the...
Hi there,
You can try your luck, I've seen a 2500mW diode laser cut a 1mm thick glass after several rounds of slicing with the laser.
Cellulose Acetate sheets have a melting point of about...
Hi there,
There could have been a small or slow leak in the tube causing the release of CO2 gas. The power supply could have also suffered from an electrical issue.
You can check the in-going...
Hi Angelina,
The problem with your laser not turning on can only be traced to the power supply/switch panel of your laser. Probably something is cut, spoilt or burnt on it.
I'd suggest you...
You can calculate the speed with this simple formula:
RPM=SFPM*3.82/CUTTER DIAM.
Since 1045 and 1040 are medium Carbon steel their SFPM value is the range of 200-250
For the feeds, I'd...
Hi there,
Can you do some simple electrical repair? Because the problem is simply with the potentiometer control in the power panel.
If you can't do that on your own you can contract it out...
