Hello all,
is there a way to have a laser on at low power during framing operation? I’m using semiconductor laser with RDC6445G.
Cheers,

Does it not work when you hit “shift”+ frame?

Hi LaserWillie,
No, that worked when I was using gcode controller. With Ruida selected, ‘Enable laser fire button’ is missing in device settings.

Correct, this option is not made available for your type of laser. This is a safety issue. We do not allow this for a CO2 based laser, as the beam is not visible to the human eye and could cause serious danger to the operator. Most CO2 systems have a red-dot pointer to help with job-to-material alignment.
The simplest option for you with a DSP controller will be to draw a box around your shapes, set that to the power and speed you want, then select that shape and use the ‘Cut Selected Graphics’ option to only run that one.
Thanks all.
I would understand the safety aspect of it if it wasn’t for the controller having a ‘Pulse’ button that turns the laser on for as long as I hold it down. I really like Oz’ idea, though, perhaps I can send the rectangle as a separate file that I can then run from the controller.
Thanks all for quick responses!

Pulse is used for a different purposes. Such as mirror alignment.
