Hello,
has any of you ever retuned CT677 Scanner driver(s) to new mirror(s) ?
Recently I upgraded my RGB show laser from a pair of cheap Chinese noname galvos to better ones from Cambridge Technologies.
I now have a pair of CT677 driver boards attached to CT 6220 Galvos in a standard XY config.
These were in a CO2-Laser before, and the mirrors (clamped to the Shafts) had a Grey-ish mirror coating, with some corrosion marks on the surfaces.
So I chose to replace them with first-Surface Glass mirrors, of roughly the same size like the old ones, but different thickness.
And I knew that I might have to retune the 677 boards to the different angular momentums and resonance freqs of the new mirrors.
Now both mirrors do a high pitched sound, which tells me they are oscillating. Of course I only leave them energized for seconds.
Thus, I fetched the attached Manual and as instructed, I started the retuning process for the first galvo from Step 1 by first removing the notch filter used to dampen the old (now incorrect) resonance frequency. Galvo 2 is disconnected.
That manual states there should be an audible resonance frequency when tuning through the spectrum.
My problem is that there is no resonance, when I tune through the spectrum from ca. 1 kHz to about 12 kHz.
I have a sine oscillator hooked to the driver board, and a 2 channel oscilloscope connected to the Servo(CH1) and Position(CH2) signal, but no resonance is visible.
How do I go on from here?
Without he notch filter, there is no (audible) resonance.
Can I do without dampening the unknown resonance?
Could there be no resonance?
