New, Just Joined

[rcarlo233]

Hi everyone, I just joined today looking for a better manual on the Rudia controller RDC6332G
my background:
- Toolmaker by trade specializing in building special machinery for the heat transfer industry. have machinery all over the world making radiator and heat exchanger cooling fins
- Operated a sales and service department for the past 20 traveling around the world selling and servicing the above machinery
- Recently retired after 38 yrs,
- Always enjoyed woodworking and have an extensive shop that I use to create wooden projects
- New to lasers, a year ago purchased a little Omtech K40 that I had up and running in just under an hour. made lots of coasters and little engraving gifts
- Overhauled my Omtech as stated in several other posts, mirrors, fixtures, better air nozzle,
- The smaller Omtech doesn't cut as well or as fast as I would like and due to the small stepper motors, loses position quite easily at higher speeds.
- Purchased an ACCTECH 1390 used with only 50 hours on it. mainly due to it's size, robustness and cutting ability
- This machine has been quite a learning curve, not sure if the person I purchased it from reset everything or not, but all the parameters were messed up
- Also did some repair on this to make it a bit more ridged (can talk about this more if interested)
- Have done some wiring on it as the connections were quite low quality
- Have it running / cutting pretty well, but not engraving very well yet, very slow
- I joined for hopes to get better documentation of the machine parameters and expected machine speeds
looking forward to this forum

Hi Rcarlo,

Happy New Year and welcome to the Forum.

I would normally suggest you save your configuration files, but it seems you are already having issues with them. I'd suggest you check out the Russ Sadler K40 Xtreeem Laser Cutter upgrade video series https://laseruser.com/k40-xtreeem-laser ... rade-menu/, specifically the video on how to set up a Ruida controller and to optimise the machine settings https://laseruser.com/k40-laser-cutter-upgrade-04/.

I've attached a manual for the RDC6332G controller, you may want to down load the RDWorks Software Manual available on the forum as it has some good tips on it as well.
