  2. Is there a decent Chinese laser importer in the UK?

    The fabricator I work with are looking to expand the number of cutters they have as they're running at capacity with the single machine they have. While Trotec, Epiloge and so on are great machines...

    My trouble is that the items I'm cutting are less than 1cm square each otherwise I would use a pin bed. At least glass is easy to wipe down after use, I've just not seen it used.

    That was my thought at first too and the old controller, for which there seems to be almost no documentation including no diagrams, had separate circuits for each switch. However the Ruida controller...

    Three wire, I'm guessing that makes them OK to run off a single circuit? The wiring diagrams I have found are not hugely clear.

    We had a pretty productive day getting the controller wired up, the only issue now is the XYZ limits. The limiters are proximity sensors so I was unsure how exactly to wire them. Here's the attempt...

    Its what I looked at first and one of the reasons for the upgrade is to be able to use Lightburn as PowerCut isn't supported by it sadly, the Ruida controllers seem to be just better too.
