I appreciate the help guys. I will triple check that everything is cleaned and aligned. I already did once, but I'll go through it again to be sure. Our Machine is a 2016 model, so it sounds like I...

Hi All,
We have a Trotec Speedy 300 80W CO2 that is about 5 or 6 years old. I believe the tube is starting to go, and I wanted to look at repair or recharge options. We keep having to lower the...

We just went through a similar issue with two of our 300's. In both cases, the x belt just needed tightened up a bit. I don't there there is a real spec for that (at least that I know of) so just use...

Thanks for sharing Neville! That looks great. I've been seeing your posts on your UV laser and have already started to do a little research. That might be the solution our company needs.

That's impressive. The amount of detail in that is unreal. I'll try converting a couple of designs to bitmaps on there to see if that helps get more consistent results. I appreciate your response.

Thanks for the reply Steve. Yes, we've been in contact with them. They are more than happy to help, but we haven't been able to get the settings dialed in over the phone. We were really just hoping...

Hi all,

My company uses a Radian galvo CO2 laser for most of our stainless tumblers with great results. We're trying to move our glassware from our Trotec Speedy 300 w/ rotary to the Radian to...

We usually use the 2" lens on the rotary, but you could use the 4" depending on what you're doing. The problem that you will run into with the 4" on the rotary is that your table won't go low enough...

We have two lasers identical to yours, and have a cone rotary for each of them. On our rotaries, we mainly do stainless tumblers and glass vases. It works great and is the ideal rotary for those...

I just wanted to follow up on this thread for everyone that helped and for anyone who refers to this in the future. Trotec ended up sending us a new I/O board and keypad. We have since replaced the...

Yes, both lights are working. That's an interesting point. Even though it won't help for this issue, I'll have to keep that in mind for future issues that arise. Thanks for bringing that to my...

No Mike, we are not using auto focus.

I actually had a call with a tech today. After doing the usual firmware update, the issue was not corrected. He is sending a new I/O board and keypad. His...

I believe we are running the latest version of firmware unless a new version came out within the last month or so. We had updated it per the request of a tech rep for a separate issue we were having....

Thanks for the tip Kev. I hadn't given much thought to the cables themselves. It's worth it to me to go ahead and replace it since it's cheap enough. I'll also try to push the Trotec tech in the...

Per the tech rep's request, we did create one after one of our more recent errors. We had sent this file to them. He recognized that there were random errors, but has not offered a solution at this...

We have two Trotec Speedy 300's. One is about 2 years old and runs flawlessly. The other is only about 4 months old and we continue to receive different errors that interrupt the engraving. Sometimes...

Thanks for the response Braden. We're going to stick with powder coated stuff for right now. We have zero experience with fiber and unfortunately, we don't have much time to learn with this product...

Thanks for the input Steve. A colleague of mine had talked with Tom at a show as well and said he seems like a genuine guy that's willing to help. It's invaluable to have that kind of support coming...

Thanks for the info Kev. I do understand what you are saying. From what the Radian rep was saying, it seemed like the software did this for you. We would be doing all graphics, so like you had...

Has anyone heard anything on Radian Laser Systems one way or the other? I'm specifically looking at a galvo CO2 or Fiber for doing powder coated tumblers at volume. I'm not very familiar with the...

Option 1 would be nice, but that's putting all of the risk on them. I doubt most companies would be ok with this. I would split the cost into two buckets; the materials, and the service. I assume...

Well at least now you have a good story to tell. Thanks for sharing. We're constantly battling with Walnut as well. It's a beautiful wood, but can be a challenge to engrave with the blonde strips...

Thanks Gary, I'll give that a try.


Thank for the reply Mike. The reason for the first pass is to get some depth to the engraving. This helps give some definition to the text. Since the second...

Good Morning All,

I was wondering if any of you have any tips for getting a more consistent engraving on acacia wood (or any wood with color variance). I'm having some difficulties getting the...
