  1. Thanks Ian, will try v3 too.

    Thanks Ian, will try v3 too.
  2. RDLC320-A newer RDCAM/Laserwork/RDWorks that works with CorelDraw and machine

    We have CorelDraw X5 and RDCam 5 but now the machine is going to someone else who has CorelDraw version 24. I tried a few versions of RDWorks 8 and those were able to import a file saved as AI...

    375945
    30% power brief press of pulse button. Tried a few and they all have the lower left quadrant like this. Holding any longer and the whole thing would set on fire. TEM20?

    On thin tape it looked circular and central. Will try with thicker material. Are you thinking the collimator removal is an issue?
  5. Changed laser tube, now wider kerf on right hand side of cuts

    Hi, we run a Shenhui 1280 and just changed from old 100W RECI to 100W EFR, along with changing all the mirrors. We also removed the collimator lens for the inline red dot as it often didn't work well...

    Changed the tube to the stored one and it was slightly better. Tried the other power supply and better still but 24 hours later there was sound "like a filament in a light bulb blowing" and the laser...

    Ages since I setup the CW5000 but I changed it from being linked to ambient and I think it is 16C all year round.
  8. Current dropping off, end of life RECI tube, how best to manage.

    We have a 2012 Shenhui 1280 with Reci V4 100W.

    I hardly ever need to fix it and my wife runs it. It doesn't run full time but must have lots of hours on it so far, will see if there is a menu to...

    Can you try less power? I am sure I read something along the lines of the RECI tubes being fastest at around 10% power, not sure if EFR are the same. For 800mm/s and the power level you are using as...

    Loose screw on one of the wires at the stepper motor driver. The glue that Shenhui put all over didn't make it obvious, took a while and some soldering to try another cable and testing to discover.

    Ours became rough at some speeds with a faulty driver and later a loose connection.

    Check for loose wires and swap the drivers around.

    I would forget the rotaries, motherboard, LCD, belts, spare tube and power supply. This is because they aren't very useful or you should be able to get better/more up to date replacements locally or...

    The back 100mm of the table has the cable chain hitting the cross member of the rear lid hinge, and the front 200mm have this error. So I guess we have a 1250 not a 1280. I must get it sorted, just...

    Closer to the front of the machine, the more stretched things get in our y axis. It is noticeable on some jobs where parts cut in different areas of the table are overlaid. At the time I just changed...

    If you did 200 PPI on a 1000 DPI image (which is rastered) and you weren't varying the power by grayscale information, then you would only be able to see 200 DPI (horizontal) resolution on the...

    Scan gap or DPI is for rastering.

    PPI is for vectoring. The controller pulses on-off rapidly, typically a few kHz on Western machines whilst it is vectoring what in your artwork is a continuous...

    Hope I'm allowed to post a picture that contains no commercial references. This oak is 1/4" thick. It comes out the machine like this with no masking and just the occasional bit of sanding on the...

    With RDCAM you can effectively change PPI (based on time rather than distance, with control over mark and space but if you know the speed you can still do it) but all it does is reduce the effective...

    We do a lot of oak cutting and use 30 PSI and elongated cones to bring the coaxial air assist close to the wood so we don't have to mask or sand, or in fact just trash the piece to a charred mess if...

    We use about 2.5kW average considering the duty cycle of the most powerful item which is the air compressor. Our exhaust uses only 550W. Heating in winter along with other stuff it can peak at 6kW....

    Would be interesting to know the same re galvo. Some other users with RECI 80W have not seen the same thing, but both my tubes and power supplies do the same. I had accidentally typed does instead of...

    My 100W RECI tube does turn off neatly enough to raster over 400mm/s, so this limits us whereas the steppers run 1000mm/s so are not the limiting factor in our case.

    We use a max of 50mm/s and slightly slower than stock acceleration on our 1280 to avoid wobble and loss of quality.

    Some 6082 has worked fantastic. Machine has two faulty stepper driver units though, they miss steps. Confirmed by switching everything around between axes. Will see how helpful the supplier is in...
