Hi,

I have a bodor 150W Co2 Metal/non Metal machine.

When Ctting metal the machine uses ruida Live focus system to track the metal surface.

Problem,

I can cut one shape/path but when moving to next shape/path the laser head raises between the cuts.
Timing is wrong and it cuts the next path without focusing.

Basically it is trying to focusing while already cutting resulting in the first bit of the path not cut.

Anybody knows what settings to tweek in RD works or on ruida controller...

Best regards

Welcome Edvin- I am not aware of any members with metal cutting CO2 machines. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will try to help. which Ruida controller do you have, most of ours are 6442 variations. Gene

Hi,

Im using RDC6332G. its a timing issue so im guessing its the same for an normal autofocus machine.

Btw I´ve been trying to find the manual on the page here but it seems to be missing ?

We are rebuilding the site after the big 'crash' and it should be on line soon I hope.

I see that Pete has posted it, lets have a round of drinks for Pete!!
