*"I LOVE THIS VIDEO"* I've had a 30w Fiber Laser Machine for nearly two (2) years now and haven't engraved one thing yet other than some of those black aluminum cards which seems to be the only thing I can do as a noob because I don't understand settings and the machine coming from China provides no support. This is some great info and I will be trying these settings tomorrow to see if I can find the problem to my delima of not being able to successfully use my machine properly and engrave like it should.

yeah i run a 50 watt fibre laser and have never changed those spot settings since the machine is installed, instead setting up the desired finish using speed, power and freq and controlling the mark with spot size (typically 0.04) and various forms of hatching and cross hatching say if the material coating is particulary troublesome, so 50hz delivers the most power and then upping to 80 or 90hz for a nice polish (on steel) so just as an example , 0.04 spacing, cross hatch, 3000 speed, 100% power and 50hz for taking a coating off then 0.04, single hatch, 3000, 60 power, 100hz to polish

Well done. We have many greens, reds and oranges at 25% power in the .0005 and .001 line space range. At 20% power, we did a second pass at 0.001 line spacing and got a nice black luster at 80kHz, and a deep maroon at 60kHz. If you want to get some rainbows, we did a double pass at 20% power, 800MM/s to get brilliant colors at .0005,.001 and .002 across all frequencies.

Another big thank you from me: it’s really great that you are publishing videos of your experimentation since there isn’t much else out there.

@jefferyj5 жыл бұрын
I've been trying to find a shortcut by opening every file in the ezcad folder that looked like it might store pen settings, but I haven't found it yet. So yes, one by one....very tedious. If you want the file to play with, let me know and I'll send it your way.
@iainwade5 жыл бұрын
Param/markparam.lib has the saved param library- each [section] is a single pen config, but unfortunately while that would allow programmatic generation or just search and replace, you would still need to manually apply a different setting to each pen which is still 75% as tedious.

When I tried doing stainless steel at first on my 30W fiber non MOPA it was like a brownish goldish color and I didn't like it but now I go out of focus by 3-5mm and it no longer etches the steel but burns a very dark image on the steel. You should try to go out of focus to get that black anneal and also see what colors you can get out of focus. Great videos especially since there is so little out there in tutorials for these lasers in English.

Thanks Jeffery, your videos are very useful. Could you please let me know what's the different between Frequency setting and Wobble Distance setting? I'm confused because they both change the density of the wobble circles.
@tuananhtrantrong51405 жыл бұрын
i think that keeping the frequency constant, increasing the wobble distance must increases the speed, is that right?
@jefferyj5 жыл бұрын
Wobble is used to thicken a line. It will allow the laser to deviate from the 'on screen' path by an amount you set to gain thickness or coverage. Frequency controls the number of pulses in a period of time - the higher this number is set, the less destructive each pulse will be.

It is for a kitchenware product that will be used almost daily and be cleaned in a dishwasher.
