I was cutting a few projects and one cut completed perfectly but the very next cut, the tip of my laser beam started wiggling. I’m not entirely for sure why. Can anyone help?

Hey, I’ve been a CO2 laser user now for just over a year, and recently received my 50WJPT Fiber… All was going great until today. Long story short, a customer happened to somehow disconnect the USB cable, or step on it, or something as the laser was running a project as he was leaving. I went back to the machine and just assumed it was...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have announced an important development: They have successfully developed a chip-level device that can simultaneously manipulate the wavelength, focus, direction of motion, and polarization of multiple laser beams. The results were published on April 3 in the journal Light: Sc...

For decades, scientists have been exploring spintronics, which manipulates the spin of electrons to theoretically run faster and use less energy than conventional electronic devices. Now researchers have found that lasers can produce stable electron spin patterns in thin layers of semiconductor materials, a finding that could help enable advanced s...

Imas Osram, a global leader in optical solutions, has added higher performance infrared lasers targeted at cost-conscious consumers and other applications by introducing a 75 W edgewise emission laser in a cost-effective radial plastic package. The SPL PL90AT03's peak output power and narrow aperture of 110 µm give it excellent performance in...

Scientists working on laser applications at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) have employed a new technique that uses gigahertz burst femtosecond laser pulses, which are packaged in a MHz envelope called BiBurst mode, to greatly increase the rate of silicon ablation without reducing the ablation quality.Published in the Internat...

Photoacoustic imaging is a cutting-edge technology that uses light and sound to create images of the inside of the body. When pulsed laser illuminates the surface of biological tissue, part of the photon energy is absorbed by the tissue to produce heat. This increase in heat causes the thermoelastic expansion of the tissue, releasing energy in the ...

HelloI just upgraded my focus on the laser.1. [image for instructions] g-code is that necessary ?2. 400 x 400 that’s for default but 400 x 390 (I’m guessing) because I have extension (also in the image)? gcode also ?3. Waste board grid ? How to measure ?

I use Lightburn with 3 lasers.2 Lasers have the home origin point top right, the third laser has the home point top left.Is it possible to change the home origin automatically? Now I have to mirror the pictures when i using all 3 lasers

I created a Christmas ornament with the name of nephew on it and tested to see how it would come out. It came out fine, but when I copied the whole image and pasted it so that I could cut multiple cutouts at the same time, the text got all messed up. This is my first time using the forum and have some pictures to upload so will see how that goes. A...

I have a PWM laser I’m trying to controll it using lightburn, the only solution that i found is to controll it like a servo using pin D11 on ramps 1.4 please to wich pin should i plug my laser to on ramps 1.4 in order to be controlled by the COMMAND M106.Thanks.

I have been trying to cut Foam Board I purchased at Dollar Tree for a foam airplane. I was surprised that my Atomstack A20 (supposed to have the 4 diode power rating equivalent to cut through 15mm of wood) doesn’t make a scratch on the foam even at 100% power. It will do a number on the paper and so I know it is working, but the white foam un...

I am having a nightmare. I had a K40 and loved it. I had to align it once or twice and it was easy, however, I bought a bigger laser.It’s 600 x 400 so not enormous but gives me lots more room than the K40 I cannot align the laser.If I explain what I have been doing it might explain so someone can help me solve this issue as I want to pull my...
