  • Most of the designs I've seen for a KTP crystal mount allow X / Y angle along with rotation. I've built such a mount and in my testing I didn't find the X / Y angles to make much of a difference. Do they under certain circumstances? Crystals I've seen are cut to work parallel to the optical axis. Is flexibility here just done to account for imperfe...

  • Yes. It can be done, and it’s RELATIVELY straightforward as far as reprocessing goes, but it’s rarely worth the effort and expense involved; in many cases it’s both easier and less expensive to just pop in a new tube. For the most part, tubes on CO2 lasers are regarded as a consumable.

  • Buongiorno a tutti ho un problema con la mia 3018. Sto eseguendo delle prove di incisione laser su lamellare da 10mm. Facendo vari tentativi ho casualmente trovato il risultato che cercavo ma non mi sono appuntato i parametri di lightburn. Posto la foto del risultato, che è nitido senza segno e marrone chiaro , invece dei vari tentativi in c...

  • All, Any pitfalls I should be worried about with fiber lasers? I’m currently running an 80 watt CO2 Omtech and have had good luck with it. Producing some really good stuff. Now, I want to get into metal engraving, mainly firearms. As a backup, do they work well for tumblers? Anyone use them for tumblers as a primary?

  • The Z stepper on my 4X8' machine is going bad. I want to upgrade all of the steppers to servos but that's a big cost and I'd like to get back up and running quickly. Is it a problem to replace just the bad Z stepper with a ClearPath Servo and related power accessories to drive it? I'm already getting ready to make the switch from Mach3 to Mach4 and...

BOB #2 I have a bunch of pins but they are mostly all input pins shown on the ESS configuration page with just a few random ones being output pins.My question is pins 3,4,5 for ex...

  • I have a Bridgeport V2XT currently 3 hp intermittent and 2 hp continuous spindle. Got it running on a Mitsubishi FR-720S-100 VFD. Interested in replacing that spindle motor with a 3.7 KW and then having to change the VFD to a bigger Yaskawa so can continue running on single phase or maybe I just keep it 2.2Kw and enjoy the greater speed range? That...

  • I'm starting to spec out a new bench top machine build that I'm hoping to put together for some small scale project work in various different materials, though probably with a focus on aluminium plate. Realistically I'm probably looking at the more budget friendly spindles and VFDs available on AliExpress to get this moving so budget is something I...

  • Today I wanted to do a cut. but the Y-axis move doesn’t work! On the first try to frame the project, the Y movement stopped making the sound it does when getting to the end of the frame but the project is larger… but, it hadn’t reached the end of the frame. Now, It doesn’t move anymore, making the same sound. I loosend and ...

  • I have recently bought my new laser engraving Ortur Laser Master 2 s2. Testing the machine I found this problem:As can be seen, there is a kind of undulations within each figure, regardless of the speed of movement, they always appear.I hope someone can help me identify the problem.Thank you
