This may be really simple to answer - I don't know - and I'm almost embarrassed to ask it, as I can usually figure stuff out.
The Universal simply rasters and cuts at X speed - whatever it is set at. The weight in the head is next to nothing, so it's always at high speed if the software was set for that.
This Goldenlaser has settings like Ruida's, I suppose, where there's acceleration as well as speed, and a maximum power and a minimum power to set for each colour's path.
I've watched it raster-engraving, and see how you need a landing area and a take-off area each side of the substrate for acceleration and deceleration,
and I've watched it a little cutting cardboard, where it accelerates up to a faster speed along the straights, and slows down for shorter straights.
I generally set it for acceleration of 10 to 20 for cutting, and the speed in mm/sec depending oni the thickness & substrate.
I've had terribly wobbly letter corners etc when acceleration was set much higher. (I can set acceleration as high as 3 or 5000 in the Goldenlaser software, for what it's worth- only feasible in rastering)
Power, I've generally set Max at a figure, and minimum at 2% less than Max, eg 72 & 70% or 100 & 98% etc
My first question is what is the point or reason for a max & min power setting when I'm not interested in the minimum - I want to to run at what I set it at?
Secondly, when accelerating on a straight, cutting, is it capable of increa At what stage is the maximum power going to happen, on a long straight, or a rounded curve. I see it slowing down for a corner - does that mean it lessens the power as it slows? It does not seem like it with my 2% range, but then some corners on thicker substrates have rather average-looking back edges to the cuts on 15 & 20mm acrylic.
I have not bothered to waste any acrylic testing various ends of the failure scale to figure extremes of speed & power out - just too busy getting important things done! i did notice that if I set a 10-15% difference between max & min, it fails to cut much at all, as if it prefers the mininimum.
Sorry if these seem basic, but my head is in Universal mode, and I'm trying to comprehend the variations available in chinese mode, and why they'd be needed!
Thanks!
