    Default +/- 24volts for galvos

    ok, silly question coming up.

    anyone got a suggestion for a "beefy" psu one could use instead of the cheap and not powerfull smps that comes as standard issue with most cheap scanners (the classic +/-24v - 1amp)

    could i use two 24v power supplies? is there another trick?

    thanks!

    I use 2 x 24 6A supplies in mine to power pretty much everything - scanners, interfaces, cooling etc Just link one + & - out for the common 0v then use the + for +24v & the - for -24v

    As dilbert said, two 24V supplies in series is the way to go.

    If size and weight is not an issue, a good ol' linear psu would be great as well

    Can this be handled with just one if it were a better 24V? I will post PIC of mine later.
    its a fan Cooled lambda nv-power nv=350
    has 15v @16A- 24V @8A -15V @10A. and 5v @10A.

    ANY OPINON?
    thnx hak

    Hmm, + and - rails from a single PSU? Not without an isolated DC/DC convertor (which is like another PSU anyway).

    ...unless any more electron-cogniscent folks can enlighten us.

    Nice supply but no - its not suitable with just 1 x 24V rail - you could use a pair of these for entire projector as overkill if you have space.

    This is my solution. First I use a ring core transformator 2x18V AC, two peaces of Graetz Bridge and 2x20.000µF. Now I have 2x24V DC with enough current reserve. 2 step I use some power DC DC converter. 5V/30A and 4 peaces adjustable voltage from 9V-12 up to 8A for my TEC driver.

    Thanks for all the posts and my apoligy to the OP- not meaning to threadjack you.
    But while you had all these great 'helpers' I wanted to learn more and thereby waste less time and money.

    maybe this;
    its a fan Cooled lambda nv-power nv=350
    has 15v @16A- 24V @8A -15V @10A. and 5v @10A.

    Should have been wriiten like this..

    its a fan cooled Lambda NV-power NV-350
    has 15v @16A, 24V @8A, 15V @10A. and 5v @10A.

    I do have lot of room on my 13 lb 12"X24" finned bottom base plate(thnx Mike for the great deal$40) also all three of my labbies have a small footprint.

    I have a few other regulated PSs that I could use. But buying another is not an affordable option right now.


    sorry for all my noobish questions. I use search all I can.


    thanks for all the advice
