Never mind, I've solved it. By choosing top right, as the screen origin, it displays correctly now.
(Previously I'd tried the other 3 locations, for no difference.)
Hi,
I finally got around to swapping out the RD6442S for the 6445 as a treat.
I had to manually enter the vendor settings and user settings, as out LAN card on the PC is dying, and makes spasmodic...
Best wishes, Kev... I'm also a Win 7 refurb fan too, and old Dells.
Good job - & thanks for reporting your solution
Thanks - I did not know it existed. I've only ever used 'gun blue' - a nitric acid based oxidising agent.
Yes, there's an option to flip or mirror, somewhere in the RD settings - I've forgotten where. An easy fix though.
Get it right and leave it alone!
RD works is pretty straightforward once you get...
Ross, what acid are you using to darken the brass?
Agreed, Kev. When our cnc router plays up, a shake of the wires, or a clean of the contacts fixes most problems...
In case anyone comes here, searching what I did, here's what I learned:...
Found it: under the [Edit] drop down menu options, are path creation priorities...
Take a look there- look for 'inside out' (which means cut insides, before outsides of shapes eg the letter O)
Fixed...needs a good clean tho'.
I traced the fault to a short in the head from a faulty autofocus that was wrecked 4 years ago, but the laser makers had piggybacked the DC ground for it, from the...
Update:
I think I'm getting there...
CN 5 goes to the w2 , 100 watt laser psu, and
CN6 goes to the w8 180 watt PSU.
Both 'look' ok, other than a bit of dust. no obvious blown fuses - ...
Latest update - problem located but not identified:
I decided I wanted to get the user & vendor settings onto the other controller, so if I ever needed to do a direct swap, I'd have fewest issues,...
Thanks, for the reply, Kev.
I have another update on what fixes don't work:
I unplugged the Y cable from the Y driver, and started the laser..
The X homed ok, and I was able to press Esc, and...
Update: a fresh short video.. It homes, then double-checks the home position, then seeks the origin, and the screen blacks out , the machine beeps, and it repeats. What's causing the beeps?
I...
Is there a list of what steps the firmware takes, when the Ruida CPU boots up?
Like homing, then once ok, check for water flow, then once ok, move to origin... or whatever is the actual normal...
I thought there was a way to select RD Works options for paths... and "inside to outside" or "cut insides first" is one I find most useful.
Thanks John, and Kev.
Kev, yes, I'm totally aware of firing speeds, and with our biggest laser, I find 450mm/sec is the best practical speed I can get for accuracy and efficiency. I can ask it to go...
If the nozzle is getting hot, the beam is hitting it.
Either it's not landing in the centre of the nozzle hole, or the hole is too small for the beam's focused point- maybe your lens is not good?...
(sorry I can't help you with the LC320, I just use the RD6442 G & S, and RDW 8.30, and Corel X3 & X5.
Old habits die hard and I'm not keen on upgrades & learning much new stuff! )
Dennis, which model of Leadshine driver did you buy for the rotary axis, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm thinking of the same idea.
I've been thinking again, because I was not satisfied with the unknowns and cautions given 5 years ago, about putting a servo in our biggest laser, just for the X axis - for faster turnaround in...
When properly installed, you can jump from Corel straight into RD works via the toolbar icon - BUT I don't.
I prefer to export or save a file as AI version 3... that's the lowest common...
I would try unplugging and re-plugging it back in, and make sure it is seated properly in place so that the beam can actually reach the first mirror.
When we had our ULS tube recharged, it similarly...
Our Goldenlaser will import DXFs, but not AI - It always hangs & freezes on ai imports.
But Corel's DXF export I find occasionally buggy, so I use the E-cut DXF export from Corel - zero problems, as...
