Is there a technical split size discussion for Rotary on Galvo

A multiple of the interval seems to be the best for my use. This is related to what lens you use.

A shorter lens has less depth of field (focus) and necessitates less of a rotation for a split size… of course this is also taking into account the diameter of the object.

I’d suggest at least an 0.2mm, maybe 2.0mm for a split sized depending on object diameter.

I’m recalling this from memory, but I believe Oz stated that unlike a Ruida where all the code is stored on the controller, the rotary on a galvo is manipulated by Lightburn. When it rotates the rotary, the software has to wait for it to complete the rotary operation before moving on… this can create quite a delay with the numbers of scans that are required for most galvo jobs.

So a bigger split size should make the job run faster. This seems to work for me.

Sing out if you have issues…
