upgrading the mechanical parts of the laser

[@joewboe]

I like your solution for the x axis helical gear tensioner. I was thinking of a pulley system but a planetary setup like yours looks more simple.

Hi first of all very nice design and ideas with you laser. I have questions: What linear rail are used in this project (X, Y and Z and on this anti backlash system idea? 20 or bigger?) What module of rack and pinion (what size, how much tooth and so on) What planetary gearboxes you use ? (can you share link to shop or where you order them ?) What kind of servos you use/using on this project ? (also link as above) Thanks for info Regards

Did you speed up the video ......its nice to look at

Google "retinal damage" ...

Good day How much power does the laser have? And how do you get such beautiful cuts in steel? Would you tell me the parameters and the gas? Thanks Stefan

I'm using raycus 2kw laser source, it can cut up to 16mm mm carbon steel. Regarding the laser cutting parameters it's depends on the thickness you cut.

Good evening, Tamar. I see that laser is getting better and better... I watch your videos with great interest. In the near future I would also like to try my hand at building a similar machine. Can you tell me what gear ratio you use for planetary gearboxes mounted on the axles? Hi, greetings Michele.

@pupinrimorchi5359 thanks. I'm using 1:5 ratio but 1:10 would be better

Thank you

Looks great! What laser is that? What’s the power output? And why did you pick it?

[@TAMARbarCNC]

Its a raycus rfl2000c (2kw) I pick it because it's suitable for the carbon steel thicknesses that I want to cut.

[@BeeInnovative]

@@TAMARbarCNC nice. What thickness can you cut and what feed rate? Do you use shielding gas?

[@TAMARbarCNC]

By the manufacturer it can cut up to 16mm. Regarding feed in not sure cause I haven't tried it. For cutting carbon steel i use oxygen.
