Just curious more then anything as I keep coming across an argon laser in my local craigs list that makes me wonder if it has been done before?https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3231#msg-3231Tue, 21 Jul 2026 13:15:08 -0400 Phorum 5.2.22 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3234#msg-3234 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3234#msg-3234 cuervo Handibot ForumTue, 30 Oct 2018 20:22:58 -0400 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3232#msg-3232 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3232#msg-3232youtu.be]
PWM hadn't yet been implemented in FabMo so the operation was kinda clunky. It was either full on or turned off. I got a little 24 to 12W DC converter and put it on the 24V output of the handibot power supply. There is a PWM output on the control card that should be able to control the laser output but it isn't really made available in the software at this time.
I was able to cut 3/16 Luan with it--making maybe 20 passes at high speed to keep the wood from burning.]]> Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumMon, 29 Oct 2018 14:30:58 -0400 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3231#msg-3231 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,3231,3231#msg-3231 cuervo Handibot ForumMon, 29 Oct 2018 13:44:17 -0400
