i don't think you understand how much you've helped me with my first laser. i went with a Commarker fiber for golf items! a million thank you's bro! i'm ready to rock!
Best, most understandable tutorial I've seen in my 42 years!!! Great job explaining. I bought a used fiber from someone who bought it used... needless to say it was way off.
Pro tip. Download a DB meter to your phone. One that shows a running graph. You can see small changes in the sound and find the loudest point very easy and precise.
In the ezcad folder there is an app called corfile or corfile 2. Its a calibration app for this and created a file from the results. But it will mark a calibration square, you then Mesure from point to point and it saves the values in to the correction file, that you open just above the galvo settings
Great informative video. Just got my Raycus 30W system and all your vids are invaluable. Just want to make a correction: Doubling the focal distance (approximately) doubles the spot size which decreases power density by a factor of FOUR, not TWO. (watts/cm^2). Twice the diameter is 4x the area.
So what does this mean with regard to adjusting the power for a larger lens? I went from a 110 to 300 and I'm having trouble with the power conversion. Things aren't looking quite right.
@@YAOG you're almost tripling the focal length, which means the spot size is 3x larger and it thus thepower density is 8x lower. So you either have to slow it down by appx 8x or, I'm not sure what since i don't have a lot of exp work galvos and settings yet. For example, i can get nice black marks on SS with a 160mm fl lens, but can't figure it out for a 254mm fl lens.
cool vid - i gotta make a focal stick now - except i dont have a co2 laser so gonna use my Ortur and make it out of plywood - should be good enough! :-)
Your highly informative video really saved me at work. After buying our Monport 20W, I got it set up reasonably well and production was using it. Unfortunately over time, people adjusted settings to the point where it couldn’t be used. (It was only doing what people “told” it to do.) Thanks to your video I’ve now got it 99% properly set up. I’m still trying to get the laser to cut where the Red Light Pointer shows up. I’ve tried adjusting the Aspect Offsets, which moved everything over and am starting to play with the Red Light Pointer offsets. Am I trying the right things? Thank you!!
Rather than shift the laser to where the red dot hits, its better to keep the output of the laser centralized to the lens (rather than shifting the field output around), and instead move the red dot field to match. Will net a better accuracy and lend better usage of the work area from the lens, otherwise you may handicap the lens into a smaller area by running the field into the edge of the lens offcenter. It sounds like you know what needs adjusting though! If you want a guide, search "red dot" on our channel and it should be the first or second option, for adjusting the red dot to be accurate to the laser output. You'll be rocking and rolling back to 100% in no time.
Great Video I have an issue with the new laser etching when I input text it appears slanted forward like if it was italic. How can I fix this so the text appears straight.
@@LaserEverything I'll be sure to. Thanks for making these videos they really helped my business. Little tweaks I would have not thought about if I didn't see you do a video on it that day 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have a similar laser like yours. However, I have issues with rotary image engraving with split lines. As it engraves one section and moves to the next split line, the image is just slightly shifted. I would like to be able to do continuous rotary image engraving with my fiber laser. Any help in this matter will help. Thanks
hi sir, i got one question, I have two lenses, both I need to use daily, but need to change settings everytime when I want do 110 or 300, is there something like instant change of settings option pls?
yes, you want a separate ezcad folder for each lens. Watch this video and follow EVERY step. When you finish this video you will have a completely new ezcad folder with which you can fill the library with new settings for the new lens that wont affect the original. Then you can just open the ezcad labeled for each specific lens. th-cam.com/video/FZT9zOp9Sl8/w-d-xo.html
Hi I follow you..you know a lot...I have just got my Fiber Laser Marking machine.....my problem is that when I push F1 so I can see the reed laser beam...it is not straight..it is a little heigher in the left side..I made a straight line in EZCAD2 and that is how I could see the problem...Can I do something in EZCAD2 software to corect that so I can lower the left side ...Hope you will answer med..Kim from Denmark
Hey kim! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! It's really hard to diagnose issues like that without seeing what's going on, so I would really really recommend joining the Discord. There's a link in the description and doesn't cost anything and me and the other members there will be able to take a look at your settings and example photos of the problem and we'll be able to help tell you exactly what's wrong with your machine. I hope to see you over there!
Halo Alex After using the rotary , my square is not aligning with Zero ruler , completely offside , any idea how to Center it . If I put a writing on the screen , when I try to move to Center it disappear completely to other side of the screen . In other words the square is offside of the cross lines . Thank you for your help
Sounds like maybe your x and y galvos are switched in your F3 Param or something is/isn't inverted that shouldn't be in your F3 param. Check those invert and galvo settings and play with them to see if they solve your issue. Switch from Galvo 1 = x to Galvo 2 = x or vice versa and see if it makes a difference. Also there's a newer version of this video which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/FZT9zOp9Sl8/w-d-xo.html If you need more help feel free to join the discord: discord.gg/J8FevEJk Hope that helps!
hi... i have set work space parameter (Square work space) done... after that i open file but the picture is out of work space (the picture not center in work space but the center dash line pass in the middle of picture) ......Plssss & Thanks
If you select the imported object in the object list in the top left corner and it "C" on your keyboard it will center the object to your work area. Check out our Ezcad 101 video I think it will help you a lot!
Can somebody please help me!! I recently bought a new jpt 100w mopa fiber laser from China. I finished installation and setup as prescribed, but all it does is a perfect red light projection... When I hit the "mark" button, the led on the mainboard switches on, and a sort of blinking appears in the lens, but no light or lasering occurs... I'm desperate!! Ard.
does anyone know where to get a focal stick that I can cut down for my galvo laser. I do not have access to a co2 laser nor can I cut anything the 14 5/8" needed
@@LaserEverything I think he means the additional red dots that replace the focal stick. The two dots come from two sources close to the lens, each at a slightly different angle and when the two dots merge into one by manipulating the height of the arm - the focal length is set perfectly. These sources can be calibrated, but manually by loosening the screws, so they can only be set for one lens. When you change lenses frequently in your works, other lenses need to be adjusted by focal stick... By default, this is set by the manufacturer for the first lens you bought the device with. At least I think so ;).
If you take care of them I see no reason why they shouldn't last the lifetime of the machine. A lot less wear and tear on these than the classic CO2 Gantry lenses.
@@LaserEverything I work on silver which is highly reflective, the reflected beams hit the lens which damages it. Is there a way I can make the damage minimum?
Are you running ezcad off the USB stick? If so move it to your computer and make sure it is unzipped and try again. Running ezcad off the USB or out of a compressed folder breaks a ton of features.
@@LaserEverything thanks for the reply. yes i got ezcad2 along with the USB stick. I unzipped it and copied it in to my computer. And it is working perfectly with my old lens. Due to my new project i need to mark big area. so i order the new lens on 290x290mm. i made all the changes with the new lens and it is working fine. But the only thing is that. when ever i closed the program, i need to do the changes again. It can not save the settings. Please help me to solve this. Thanks,
I did all step by step that you shown in the video. But after closing the ezcad2 and reopening it. the setting remains the same as it save for the old lens. I am contacting to my manufacturer. but they are not replying me any more. please help me. thanks.
I need a few more lenses to do that effectively but yes a 70mm is delivering much more energy to the target than a 200mm so you'll get to your target depth in less time.
The reshoot of this video is complete. Editing will start soon, should be released this week!

Amazing tip, very nice!
That really is a great tip. Thanks.
A new version of this video is being recorded in the very near future, keep an eye out for it!
The dialogue box for start marking is a great saver too. Recommended to have on 👍🥰
Great tip!
Fantastic video! Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great video! One question- is the lenses set up done only in EZ Cad or can this also be done in Lightburn?
In the ezcad folder there is an app called corfile or corfile 2. Its a calibration app for this and created a file from the results. But it will mark a calibration square, you then Mesure from point to point and it saves the values in to the correction file, that you open just above the galvo settings
I'll include this in a reshoot! People will love to know this!

yes thank you :) I've since learned this, face palm moment when it was explained to me lol

Some of our LMA members have listings on etsy and are selling them. I'd start there.
How do you save all of those system parameters?
System parameters should save automatically.

They're in the video description for you ;)
what do you do if you have multiple red marking boxes? I show 3 on my system instead of 1
VERY strange. Can you post some pics in either the discord server or facebook group? Links in the description.

How many hours of operation does the lens last before it's damaged

Please join our discord server or Facebook group for lower level tech support. We'll need to ask questions and see screenshots to figure this out.
Does the smaller area lens engrave faster then if your goal is to get a deep engrave in metal?
Maybe an experiment with same settings different lens.
I need a few more lenses to do that effectively but yes a 70mm is delivering much more energy to the target than a 200mm so you'll get to your target depth in less time.

Jpt lpe goes from 1 to 600hz 👍😎
nice
Yes auto saves works. Makes ezcrash pause every now and then. Btw grab my memory patched exe so ezcad can use 4gb of ram 😎👍
