Me and two friends recently bought the Monport GA30 MOPA Fiberlaser because we wanted to do some colored engraving. It arrived yesterday and everything seemed to work great but when i went to do some test engravings i didn’t see any setting for Q-Pulse in Lightburn, after some quick googling i saw that you have to enable it in the machine settings.
So thats what we tried. Hit the little “Enable Q Pulse With Setting” toggle and thought i was good to go but there was still no option to set the Q Pulse. Here are the Full Settings:
I saw multiple people on youtube with the same Laser setting the Q Pulse just fine. From what i gathered the problem seems to be the Fiber Type RAYCUS which doesn’t support Q Pulse width? Is that correct? Can i just change that setting and im good to go? Do i have to return the laser? I don’t understand why ours is so different from the ones i saw online? Also some people seem to be able to run this laser up to 125 KHz from what i saw, why does ours stop at 80? Can i just change that setting? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated we are still very new to this Laser stuff.
I absolutely missed the part where it said that in the manual. Or i had the wrong manual initially, i don’t know. But thanks for taking the time to answer!
I Also changed to Frequencies to allow a Max of 500 Khz. Did a test with the new settings yesterday and was able to mark color on stainless steel with no Problems at all!
Good to here. Dig around, a lot of MOPAs are 1Khz to 4000Khz. Also see if you can find a full power cutoff frequency table for your laser. Some good information in there for MOPA users
