HI all!
This is my first post on this super helpful forum.
As I’ve been working and getting to know our machine (130w Mophorn Chinese Laser with ruida upgrade) I noticed a certain laser ‘lag’ on details when going faster in ‘fill’ speeds. As I looked on these forums, it sounds like I was correct in that the signal between firing and stopping on small pieces is shorter than the lag in the signal from laser actually able to fire. I heard this is a limitation of power supplys and tubes, but most often the power supply.
I know I have a large machine with small detail limitations for sure, but would a better power supply help at all in this lag issue? I understand that in general slowing down is necessary for details, but for production having to slow down mass production to 100-200 speed makes my jobs take much longer than I expect them to.
The power supply that came with my laser cutter is ZYE Laser MYJG150W.
I see those for sale around $100-150 along with others that all look the same.
I also see some that are the same power rating for $200-300 and wonder if there is just markup or something better quality. I’m not sure what to look for or if any upgrade would make any difference.
I know I bought a Chinese laser, but seeing these epilogs move at blazing speed with full detail just blows my mind and wonder if I can get just one step close to that without a whole new machine. Do RF tubes make a difference too?
Appreciate any feedback/advice.
