tlavite started a thread IPG YLM-60 Fiber laser in Lasers, All Kinds.

Hello, new to the forum sorry if I am posting in the wrong spot but I was wondering if maybe someone could help me. To start off I'm not new to building CNC machines and such. I've built allot of c02 laser, routers, printers whatever it is I've probably messed with it somehow. So, to start off I...

TheHermit replied to a thread OPT or Golden Star ? in The Lounge

Great info to know! With 2 * OPT modules, I'm likely going to need OPT's tuning software sooner or later. Mind sharing it on this thread or via PM? Thanks in advance 👍 Roj

mrfloppy replied to a thread OPT or Golden Star ? in The Lounge

AFAIK my Tmax uses a GS module which uses the DT XEON driver ive been talking with OPT and they have their own digital driver and even sent me the tuning software for it (if a diode needs replacing you will need this) so they are not the same at all, and all i can say without trying OPT's one...

mixedgas replied to a thread OPT or Golden Star ? in The Lounge

Goldenstar's digital diode driver offers advantages in color representation, color tends to stay the same during fades etc. For graphics and logos the digital driver is impeccable. You can dial it down to 100 mW or less and white stays white. Steve

masterpj replied to a thread OPT or Golden Star ? in The Lounge

golden star, better beam.. thicker heat sink... diode protection and less overdriving and more correction. The thing is not all 25w is the same.. there is a good reason for the difference in price and its not all down to markups.

Johannesa replied to a thread Vintage color organ - can't match blue bulb color / brightness of original in Light Sources, Other than Laser

Have you tried checking if the wattage of the new blue bulb matches the original one? It might be the key to fixing the brightness issue. Maybe adjusting the color organ’s blue channel sensitivity could help align its output with the new bulb.

VDX replied to a thread A little machining and other bits in Modifications

... I've tested some years ago, with an older 30W MOPA and "normal" stainless steel (in German "V2A" or "V4A") with not so good results (first combined image attached). Most of this "colourfull" results are made with steel, alloyed with Titanium (Chinese something like "steel #92") - have some...

absolom7691 replied to a thread A little machining and other bits in Modifications

Very cool. I ended up with a 200W JPT MOPA but I haven't been able to crack the stainless steel coloring yet. I managed to get a mauve color and a very light blue but that's about it. I suspect that it's because I have no idea what grade the stainless is. I imagine that has a lot to do with it....

Greg replied to a thread CYGN-B in The Lounge

This video shows three first take passes using the new encoder tools. The first take used the buttons and joysticks to lay down data for the spiral generator. An unchanging analog circle is the only image source used except for the pongloid. This take resulted in recording both the spiral...
