Hi guys,
can somebody tell me how easy to replace a module that controls tubes and motors?
What is the main block called that accepts G-CODE from a PC and tells the motion controller where to go and what speed to use to cut/engrave? I guess the same module controls a tube power.
I am still trying to understand why my new laser cannot do small designs at the speed it told to do them and instead after some point it drops the actual speed of operation if I try to increase job speed My other laser(LaserPro Spirit) does not have this problem. When I increase job speed the actual speed of head movement is also increased.
I guess it has something to do with software installed on the new laser that processes commands because g-code seems to be correct.
I asked MFG why it happens and I was told that I need better(and more expensive) motors because the ones I have now cannot accelerate and change direction of movement at high speed. I do know know if it's true but the motors I have do not look cheap and small. They are much bigger than the ones I have on the LaserPro Spirit laser. And even if they are right how changing the motors only can change the actual speed of movements?
If you are using chinese lasers with LaserCut software and DSP system can your laser move fast on a small 5-10cm square without rounding corners? If you increase a job speed does your laser head move faster.
Mine that also has DSP based motion controller but a different control panel cannot do it small shapes with straight angles, it makes fillets on corners instead. If I set dwell time to some amount it will make straight angles stopping at them. That would be ok with me but when I use dwell settings my laser moves much slower even on straight lines and slows down and stops on each segment.
That leaves me without any option to do small things from thin material faster. So for now with current situation my 280W laser cannot cut out small shape of 3mm thick MDF faster than my 100W LaserPro.
Is that how all CNC controlled lasers work? If they are then what principle is used in LaserPro lasers
