T2 Engraving / T2 CNC surface scanning / auto leveling / Edge scan?
« on: March 15, 2018, 03:45:15 AM »
Hi Zax
It could be great if your T2Laser software could surface scan

and maybe edge scan

Z Axis / Re: Banggood Eleks Z Axis Kit - any issues?
« on: March 15, 2018, 02:30:02 AM »
Actually I have this z-axis and it works fine on my A3 EleksLaser , yes there are some weight but when using the motor and drill it is only good.
I all so use it with med Laser + pen drawing and it works great
The only minus is that your working areal decrease on the y-axis, but I have now ordred new aluminium profiles so I can extent the length of the y-axis

« on: March 14, 2018, 12:59:12 AM »I played with glass most of last summer. Wine bottles are hard
You can see my attempts/failure/successes here http://benboxlaser.us/index.php/topic,2118.0.html
Nice, I may try out this with my 2500mv laser with a black card behind the glass

« on: March 14, 2018, 12:37:40 AM »I have been laser etching wine glasses and currently do not have a z-axis. Limited to a relatively flat (vertical) region of the glass. Ready to add the z. Have stated on a software solution where I store various glass profiles and select at etch time. Would prefer a non-contact distance sensor and let the application do the figuring.
BTW - I suspect the laser is much more forgiving than a cutting tool. Do you do multiple passes?
HI
Yes I do multiply passing , setting it to about 8 passes 3mm just to divide up, then when I think it looks okay I stop the cutting.
For this example it only had 3 passes.
I would all so like to make my ovn distance sensor so I can level out the curves there are in the bottle.
It could be nice if T2Laser could read a surface profile in x,y,z and do the math in that case we would be able to drill on every surfaces
A surface profile scan would only require that it reads the z- distance censor in a x,y resolution by 1x1cm grid (maybe less 0,5x0,5cm grid)

Thinking about it
I total forgot to set the bottle size in my T2Laser setup
But it came out okay
Pure luck I think

Thanks for the comments
A wine bottle is not at plain smooth surface so I will se if I can trace the surface and adjust the z axes while the job is running
Have someone tried this ?

Projects / Rotary engraving in glas with diamond drill bit
« on: March 12, 2018, 03:41:36 PM »
Hi Here is my first try , engraving a bottle with my rotary diamond drill bit.
It works first time, pouring few drops of water now and then
3 passes with a speed of 500 (full speed on the motor)
The connection bit hole to my motor is 3.1 , but my diamond drill is only 2.9 so is was a little shaky
Using T2Laser from Zax everything works just fine

Thanks for your good information.
I was thinking of all so using my milling tool to engrave in glass and therefor may need more amps, I will try to order the one from banggood and messure the voltage and amps
they all so have a better one
https://www.banggood.com/TB6600-0_2-5A-CNC-Engraving-Machine-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Controller-Single-Axis-p-1226790.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Specification:
-Automatic idle-current reduction
-Supply voltage up to 50V DC
-Output current up to 5.0A
-High speed optoelectronic isolation signal input
-Single-chip PWM bipolar sinusoidal chopper ensures low vibration and high efficiency
-1, 2, 4 (New Mode), 8, 16 adjustable microstep control, motors run more precisely and smoothly
Features:
1. Equipped with the 3rd generation of breakout board, display panel and control pad to control the motor manually.
2. Overload, overcurrent, overheat, overvoltage and undervoltage protection to avoid damaging your computer and devices.
3. Cooling Aluminium Box Design for Cooling, and protect the driver board from being damaged by dirt, dust or other liquids.
4. Moreover, the brand new design with BiCD0.13 (50V) process technology on the chipset also ensures
maximum 5.0A output current and 50V output withstand voltage.
Package Included:
1 x CNC Engraving Machine Stepper Motor Driver

Hi
I found this driver
https://www.banggood.com/TB6600-4A-CNC-32-Segments-42V-425786-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Controller-p-1093437.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
Now I just need to find a good power supply
Do you know a good one in banggood?

Hi Raimund
Yes that will be great, if you can make an diagram and upload it here, then everyone can make use of it
I will come back with my choice

Hi thanks for feed back
Maybe is it a bit overkilled with a DM442 for my use, a smaller bridge solution could be the answer

Hi Raimund
Thanks for the feed back. I will see hove it goes and if the driver gets to hot I will put a Fan and heatsink on.
If you have A link to the driver you are using, please feel free to post it here, that will be nice.
by the way that must be external right?
