Fiber Laser Settings
All these parameters are provided as a general guideline and should serve as a good
starting point. Individual materials and preference will determine the final combination
of settings for each application. You will notice that parameters are provided as a
"general range " and therefore some user testing and experimentation is required.
It is recommended that you go to this
youtube
channel and looks @ JefferyJ videoes. Awesome dude. This is for you to learn more about your
fiberlaser. And here is some ezcad files that is important for you to make on stainless
steel. This will give you some information what your fiberlaser can do.
1. Power vs Speed Grid
2. Power vs Freq Grid
3. Frequency vs Hatch Grid
4. Ezcad 2.14.11.zip 3.75 MB
5. Ezcad 2.14.10.zip with usb drivers 33.12 MB
6. EzCad parameter setting and debugging
Learn how the hatches and frequency cause different effects. Look at it like sandpaper. Smaller frequency more aggressive. And power is how much pressure you put down and speed is the rate of sanding the surface.
Here are is a usefull video for changing red pointer on a
CINO-GALVO head (Youtube link)
