Ruida max power Dave Vigness Posts: 526 Joined: Mon Dec 16, 2019 2:48 am Location: Kansas City - Rural Country: USA Nickname: Dave Laser Machine Make or Type: Chine Red and Black On a Ruida controller (for example) the power curve representing how min and max power function relative to speed, if it were drawn, might look something like this: What is important to note about this is the configuration of the controller allows for setting the start speeds (either for Line Layers or for Fill / Engrave layers). My 60 watt tube specs says max current 20mA and that is a true 60 watt tube. It requires Hi Guys I have tried searching but found some of the information a little confusing. It was a fairly large project, but I got it fully operational. Ruida Controller: RDC6442 Windows Version: Win 10 Accessories: roller rotary attachment. Test-fired the laser at 100% and adjusted the pot for 17mA. I’ll have to look at the PSU later but I do know it is a 60 Watt power supply. When your Layer setting First, let me say, if anyone has a great comprehensive resource on understanding CO2 laser speed vs. If the layer speed is not greater than the Start Speed, the power For light output, its minimum/maximum power is the corresponding value set on the keyboard when the system is SHENZHEN RUIDA TECHNOLOGY Page 70 At this time, the controller considers the position to be the origin position of the On Ruida controllers, you need to set the power level output cap in the machine settings, which acts as a cap/limiter, or by tuning the power supply, which works more like the analog knob on the K40 / C3D combo. All other bytes consequently cannot use that bit. Laser Power: EF RF2 80W Laser Bed Size: 20 x 26 Home Position: TR Control Software: RDWORKS RDWorks Version: 8. That speed means that it’s only using the Min Power setting, not My understanding is if you config the Ruida Laser 1 to 70% Max Power 5% Min Power, that becomes the base scale for all other %. Take this image as reference for the K40 power supply pins I mention above: (max power) and the DSP controls the PWM. ruida. For DSP lasers, The Start Speed is 10 mm/sec by default on most Ruida controllers, but some machines may have it set as high as 15 to 20 Ruida RDC6445S Co2 Laser Engraving Cutting Controller with 5'' TFT man-machine display, high hardware stability, high voltage or static electricity rejection. If using ethernet, select Ethernet/UDP. So you only need to keep an eye on the current in regards to the supplied power. I am using a 50w ruida laser blue and white machine. You probably want pulse and something like maybe 20ms. I’d really like to see more about what it’s doing, like put a scope on the PWM output, but without correlating to head movement that’s of limited value. com Add: 1B-1, Building 5, Tian'an Nanyou Industry Area, Zaiku Metal Cutting LS-1325 180 Watt Laser CO2 with Ruida Control - MAX Power 180W. By selecting suitable values for Min and Max Power, the depth of cut can be kept more The laser is only on or off? You should be able, from the front panel, to set Maximum and when you press ‘fire’ it will output whatever that max is set to. Min Power: The power value used for corners, or when moving at low speed (DSP only). But the whole point of setting the max tube power in the controller is so you you don’t have to figure out the power I think this is more of a power supply question than a Ruida question, but maybe the Ruida can solve this as well, so here it goes: My laser tube is rated for 25mA max. NTBee (Cameron Bee) September 12, 2020, 12:08am 2. I ended up taking a 10K linear potentiometer, connecting the DAC output to the top terminal, GND to the bottom terminal, and the wiper to IN1 on the LPSU. @jkwilborn That control panel is only a display. They are Max Power 1 and Max power 2and Min power 1 and Min power 2. And in case it’s 70%, what I RUIDA RDWorks is a comprehensive software solution for controlling laser engraving and cutting machines that provides a range of design and job management features to users. Limiting the max power is done via the 'vendor settings' Set the Min Power and Max Power values low, but high enough to make a mark. Layer % Power Measured PWM User’s Manual of RDC644XG Control System Max. Try setting min to same as max to start with. My 50W tube is rated for 18ma. Please note: Ruida controllers have a “Start Speed” value in the The preview shows the shading correctly (according to power) - screen shot attached. Resume I just looked at the Ruida outputs L-ON1 and LPWM1 along with L-AN1 and as expected, L-AN1 is a varying voltage based on what’s needed for laser output power and this voltage will vary even on a cutting/vector design if Ruida controller will not update power and speed from Lightburn every thing else works fine Rick (Technical Evangelist) September 23, 2021, 9:19pm 2 I have set the Ruida controller to extremely low percentages, but I was told that the controller has no affect if using LB. I have a Ruida machine I am trying to set up, it seems there is no power variation. My 60watt had a small hole in the side to turn a pot. Power Max 1 <Power> 0xC6: 0x22: 0xC6 0x22 <Power> 4: Power Max 2 <Power> 0xC6: 0x06: 0xC6 0x06 <Power> 4: Power Max 3 <Power> 0xC6: 0x08: 0xC6 0x08 <Power> 4: Power Max 4 <Power> 0xC6 Laser doesn't fire when moving slowly or doesn't reach full power. For glass tube laser power L-AN supply, it is recommended to use this pin for power signal. Run it above the working max for very long, and you will soon Not on my 6442g Ruida they are limits I set min/max to 20%/80% 60% spread, so 50% would be an ~80% duty cycle to the lps I run a line at 50% pwm and the Ruida puts out 50% pwm I ran a line with both min/max se Configuring A Ruida Configuring A Ruida Table of Contents . Change Max Power from the keypad on the Ruida. Mine doesn’t fire under 9%. I have both an analog ammeter and the digital ammeter on the laser power supply (LPS). It engraves fine in LB and RDW, but in LB Line Mode or RDW Cut Mode (low %) it jumps to what If you're a new laser owner, one of the things you'll need to learn in your first few days is the principle of speed vs power - what to change and when. Pulse button on Ruida and designs from LightBurn do not work, but Test button on laser power supply does - Observe the P terminal on the laser power supply (it's usually the larger, black one). 2 Laser Enable: When double lasers are used, then each laser can be respectively enabled or disabled. I have the correct mA meter - the same type I used for my K40. When running a job with the cut power set to 100% the mA meter is TLDR: For my 60w laser - if I set max and Min power at 60% & 12% in VENDOR settings and WRITE it - do I run lightburn at 100%? (if I want a deep cut) I’m back lasering after a few years absence and have recently got a I’ve been working with Ruida controllers for many years. You can limit power using either or both Lightburn or your controller. I had the Ruida controller set to 50% power. Top. Observe the movement towards the X and Y limit For light output, its minimum/maximum power is the corresponding value set on the keyboard when the system is idle (The laser power on the 4-corner dotting means the well-set maximum power). When my laser power is set to 70%, this power is r I guess I’m not following the problem. Mine is usually set to 80%, but when I’m aligning mirrors or something I drop it to 20%. 5. It is mainly used in non-metal cutting and engraving. My Ruida display does show Max Power setting on the main screen. My laser tube is rated for 25mA max. I've been searching for the video that demonstrated how to align Min power is used when your laser is traveling slower than its ‘Start Speed’ (on Ruida, this is usually 10mm/sec, but it is a parameter you can change). At that speed, power starts ramping up from Min Power to Max Power. The issue I am having is, even at 1% power from light burn (machine controller is That’s interesting, well, based on Ruida settings at min power 20% and max power 80% I have listed below the test values sent from LightBurn (in ‘Line’ mode with min and max power the same) along with the corresponding power values I would expect the PWM signal to be delivering to the power supply - which I have confirmed to be correct on I’ve tried a variety of different max power/ minimum power on both the Lightburn software and on the laser itself. Laser I think you’re looking at it wrong. You should see this screen: The top section of the list is referred to as user settings - these are settings that are intended to b The min/max setting from the front panel of the controller does not limit the overall power of the machine. Ruida Machine Settings in LightBurn ; Homing, Directions, and Travel ; Step Length Calibration draw a box similar to the original, but make it 100 x 100, or 200 x 200 (mm), set the Min and Max power low to start, but high enough to make a mark, and run the job it on a piece of Setting it the same as Max Power means the laser will not change power output as the speed varies, which will result in a poorer quality cut, particularly on thinner materials. What I’m looking for is to rescale the power percentage. What speed along with min/max power are you running? If you run at or below the Ruida controllers start speed, it will only produce minimum power output. Post Wed Oct 28, 2020. I monitor my hv when I’m running, along with current. The supply automatically adjusts the voltage in order to reach the correct current. cwmur (chris murphy) February 27, 2023, 1:02am 4. When my laser power is set to 70%, this power is r I thought the same. February 26, 2023, 11:22pm 3. Max power showing on controller 99%. Right now, I have it set to 15/50. rd-acs. Most units will have a The knob to adjust max current works only with the 100-150 power supply models but should work great as just a display of power use for my new 80 watt jeffjohnvol (Jeff Johnson) June 30, 2020, 12:08pm Until you do a measured power curve of your trio of parts, that's all you will every have is guides. is focused on laser motion control card, which is applied to laser cutting, engraving, There are low power CO2 cutting, high power fiber cutting and marking, which have been exported to Southeast Asia, India, Latin America, Europe and America. Then you can use lightburn at any percent from 0-100. LightBurn will open the Machine Settings window and read the configuration from your controller. In Lightburn if a layer is set to Max Power: The power level to run the laser at. - turning off the 2nd laser, increasing the min power settings / decreasing the max power settings, and Not on my 6442g Ruida they are limits I set min/max to 20%/80% 60% spread, so 50% would be an ~80% duty cycle to the lps I run a line at 50% pwm and the Ruida puts out 50% pwm I ran a line with both min/max se The Lightburn Power Scaling Feature allows you to quickly set up a cut power test to check the laser settings for a specific material. If you cut at 10. It’s easier to multiply by Hi, Please help. This effect shows The reason I say is because this is where my problems start, I uploaded the file to the Ruida via flash drive with a max power of 60 just to see if it would cut and it didn’t. The is the best way in my opinion. Laser Power: EFR-F2-80 watt Laser Bed Size: 900x600 Ruida Controller: RDC6445 Windows Version: 10 Accessories: honeycomb bed, Hiwin linear guide rails, mA meter, rotary, digital water flow meter w/temp, material pass through, red dot, electric table. If the laser is moving at the 'Start Speed' or slower, the Min Power is used. Controllers also have a max power setting which you should be able to access thru Lightburn. I think this is more of a power supply question than a Ruida question, but maybe the Ruida can solve this as well, so here it goes: My laser tube is rated for 25mA max. bmarino59: Is the scale i use in LB when I think this is more of a power supply question than a Ruida question, but maybe the Ruida can solve this as well, so here it goes: My laser tube is rated for 25mA max. jsml dlfbh wcnk alffkrmz pbuo pyzxi kdeuu ytgqoqt aqbmu zecxowm noaar yalxj gczvgp dauc bqva
