How to upgrade your OMtech laser… yes, it can be as good as a Thunder or a Epilog
Mirror Alignments
What happens when your beam is off centre? Well, let's see what happens when I miss align my number 2 mirror to place the beam off centre.
Using a Yongli HLP-200B CO2 Power Meter, I will test the power entering Mirror 3, when the beam is aligned, then when it is 2mm off centre and finally, when it is 4mm off centre. Even I was surprised at the results of how beam clipping negatively effects the power of your laser beam
The Yongli HLP-200B Power meter was purchased through AliExpress

AF2028 Closed Loop Driver Alarm Reset
มุมมอง 6192 ปีที่แล้ว
This latest upgrade enhances the operation of the 2HSS57 Closed Loop Drivers on the X and Y Axis. If either driver detects an obstruction or there is a significant loss of steps that the driver cannot compensate for, that driver will issue an alarm and shut the stepper motor down. Previously, I would have to cycle the power to the whole laser to reset the driver fault and get the system operati...
AF2028-80 Closed Loop Stepper Motor upgrade: Y-Axis/Rotary
มุมมอง 6822 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I have detailed the upgrade of my OMTech AF2028-80 Laser; including upgrading the Y-Axis Motor/driver to a closed loop motor as well as repurposing the existing driver to control my rotary. this along with the installation of a select switch to select between the Y-Axis Driver and the Rotary Driver. Finally, the expansion of the Alarm detect circuit to include both X and Y closed loop driv...
OMTech AF2028-80 Power Distribution Upgrade
มุมมอง 2142 ปีที่แล้ว
OMTech AF2028-80 Power Distribution and upgrade. While upgrading my machine, I noted a discolouration of the AC wires, coming in the rear of the unit. While troubleshooting, I noted that the wires were all 18gauge, which are only rated for 10 amps. What was needed was an upgrade of the wires to 14guge, which can handle 14amps. Additionally, I installed a North American standard outlet and a sur...
Incorporation of the Alarm Function for Hybrid Stepper Driver
มุมมอง 2.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here we explain how to incorporate the alarm function of a Closed Loop Hybrid Stepper Motor Driver. The Alarm function is an output, generated by the closed loop stepper driver whenever the stepper motor driver detects an error in position of the stepper motor. this is useful as this signal can be used to stop the operation of the Ruida Controller, two prevent damage to the laser mechanics or u...
Difference Between Open and Closed Loop Stepper Motors
มุมมอง 2.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
After thinking about it, I figured I would run a little test to show the difference between the stock open loop motor and the closed loop stepper motor and driver. I recently upgraded the X-Axis to a closed loop motor and driver. This test is to show the difference in how the motors handle obstructions and outside forces.
X Axis Upgrade to Closed Loop Stepper Motors
มุมมอง 1.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This video explains the upgrade of the OMTech AF2028-80 80Watt Laser, from open loop stepper motor and driver, on the X-Axis, to Closed Loop Stepper Motor and Driver. This upgrade was an almost drop in upgrade. The only quirk was the requirement to change out the X-Axis drag chain for a large one (15x30mm) and the removal of part of a brake that blocked full travel of the Y-Axis ti the rear. Th...
