Does anyone know what it is?I won’t be able to uncrate the machine until April 1 however. So can’t open the side panel yet. I have to make space for it.
Also, I looked at the inspection sheet and it put out 18mA at 95% power and 2mA at10% power. Is that what would be expected?
This is a fairly new variant of the Ruida 6445 made for Orion Motor Tech. Did they list any software compatibility or in particular, if they provided a copy of RDWorks or similar named software, that would indicate this is a Ruida control system.
The Omtech web site says it compatible with Lightburn and it comes with RD works. I looked on the Rudia web site and none of the 6445 variants look like this. The KT332N does not show up on the Ruida web site either. But I did find a “Ruida” user manual for the KT332 N. I’m sure it will be fine. Thanks y’all.
Yeah, OMTech sent me that statement when I asked what was going on with the not-Ruida Ruida controller in my just-delivered machine.
I still have no idea how a Ryxxon controller can simultaneously be a Ruida controller and never appear with Ruida branding:
KT332N control system is the latest generation of standalone laser engraving and cutting control system developed by our company.
It must have taken OMTech’s support folks by surprise, too, because none of the passwords normally used by Ruida work. I still have no idea how to get into the password-protected parts of the controller menu and neither do they.
Which gets me into the System Info screen, wherein I learn the tube has 33 hours on it and the X axis has traveled 24 km.
They’d suggested RT6666, which seems to work for the parameter setting / restoring functions, although it’s not entirely clear what’s supposed to happen.
I’ve been using an OMTech 60W laser with this controller and Lightburn since 2020. Now I need to realign the mirrors and I can’t find anywhere to lower the power on the pulse setting. I don’t see any max power setting in any menu setting, even going into the password protected areas. Does anyone know how to do this? (I’m on a Mac so can’t run RDWorks, if that would even help?)
Press Enter while the display is in its default state (what you see after you turn it on) and a highlight appears in the Speed field over on the right.
Push the ↓ (down arrow) button to shift the highlight to the Power field just below the speed and press Enteragain to select it. Tweak the Max numeric value with the arrow keys, press Enter when done, arrow to / tweak the Min value, and press Enter to save the new values.
Once you know that, section 8.4 in the manual will make a lot more sense.
Thank you! I just found that last night after reading your post, and don’t think I had seen that manual before, even though I’ve had the laser 3 1/2 years and have made lots of upgrades!
I set the power down to 10/15% and now can make much smaller holes in the blue painters tape. I read somewhere that changing the Laser Set menu also changes the pulse setting, but I’m not sure how to use it. Right now Laser mode is Continue and Laser time is 0 ms. The pulse seems to be on as long as I hold the pulse button down in either continuous or manual mode, so I try to press and release the button as quickly as possible. Changing this menu to set the Laser time to 15 or even 150ms didn’t seem to change that, but I may be doing it wrong.
