    Just installed the kit and there is a small amount of air coming out of the nozzle with the machine off. Is this normal?

    • @laserartifex198
      @laserartifex198 3 місяці тому

      Yes this is normal when the machine is unpowered with the normally open solenoid. There is a manual valve to turn off air completely is the laser is unpowered.

    Thank you for your video. I have been dealing with my laser being out of square for a while now. Your video pointed me in the right direction and YES it worked. I solve the problem of getting a square to measure rail to rail by clamping a 1-2-3 block the Y rail. That gave me the height and a good reference to use my square to straighten it out.

  • @SarbarMultimedia
    @SarbarMultimedia Рік тому

    With most macvhines the Y belt tension is achieved by adjusting a unit on the backat each end of the gantry. If you tighten the ajustments differently this may be the real cause of the gantry being off square so be careful to adjust both belts by the same amount. The method demonstrated is exactly what you need to do, with the big sqaure and equal diagonals method. However there is one impoertant point missing from this video..... the gantry bearing blocks. Those bearing blocks are usually pre-tensioned onto the rail to ensure they are bscklash-free. If you twist the gantry then you are twisting the beaiing blpcks out of line with their free running position and this will result in premature bearing wear.. It is therefore important that your slightly loosed the end bearing blocks so that they can "float" into thier natural stress-free alignment. Dint forget to retighten them after you have squared the axes..

    I installed my kit with no issues. Easy to follow instructions. Works very well on my Ruida controlled laser with lightburn as the software. Much better than my "manual" adjusting of air that was provided by the wheezing little onboard air pump. Hooked to my shop compressor, cutting and engraving results are far superior. I'm not affiliated with Artifex - but credit where it's due - it's a good bit of kit and I recommend it. Cheers from Australia.

      Francis. The new circuit board we have has a port labeled "Pass through". You can simply plug your existing plug into that without making wiring changes. This is assuming those wires are from the factory.

      I did the same thing. They replied to my email in a day or so. Basically, they couldn't change my order but noted that I purchased the incorrect one and to send the correct control board. But, even if that doesn't happen, the control boards are the same on both types. There are 2 switches on it you need to change on the air assist control board depending on which laser control board you have. Email them. They can explain better I'm sure.

      @Francis Brady the air assist control board can be used on either type of control board on a laser. I forget what the upgraded kit gives you extra. But I do know I ordered the upgraded kit. It just came today. I haven't installed it yet. But I checked the board, and true to his word, the settings were correct for my machine.
