Apparently the new firmware .18 has an additional state for the air assist where by it switches on and off when the laser fires, this would be great and save my compressor from running but can be very annoying working on small items or engraving with the relay chatter, I wonder is it possible to add…

If you are using a RUIDA controller then there is a contact on the Conroller that says Wind, this is activated when the controller/Laser starts a job and will de activate when it finished the job. This is used to operate through a relay a pnematice 24V valve which you use to switch the air assist …

Maybe a timer OFF module would suit your needs?

Thanks Mike, I have the air assist working ok with the firmware .15 that grounds the pin to energise to the 24 volt relay, as soon as the job starts, laser in any state on or off. In the new firmware .18 there is an option to have the relay energise when the laser is energised tis would be great b…

Yep I am thinking along the lines of a relay timer JP Jacobs. going to play around a bit. Thanks Alan

Before proceeding: Air assist solenoid fires rapidly on RDC6445G [image] Air assist solenoid fires rapidly on RDC6445G G’day guys, The issue of the Air Solenoid clicking on and off while the laser is firing can be resolved by adjusting the setting BLOW TYPE setting using RD Works. There are 2…

Hi Jeff, yea I seen that I want Blowing while laser on with the tweak that I can dampen the number of times it switches maybe with a timer set to 3 seconds to hold the relay on it makes a terrible noise with that option selected at the minute

Why not use the setting for blowing while Processing?

Currently thats what I do at the minute, but as soon as the job starts the air starts and if I can save air the compressor runs less and its easier on my ears.

I read where you wired your solenoid as such: [image] alanmccabe: grounds the pin to energise to the 24 volt relay, as soon as the job starts, laser in any state on or off I read this as, you have wired your solenoid alternatively (such as on CN1 Pin 4 Status), opening the solenoid when the …

I have it on CN1 Pin 5 Wind ok but, and pulsing wind with laser is working fine. I just want to reduce the number of pulses for example when I wm cutting small items the laser is on and off so many times the relay is nearly thrashing as the laser switches. Sorry if I am not explaining very well. S…
