Thanks for watching - Наука та технологія
I just bought a Neje Master 2s Plus with the N60460 laser module. Then downgraded it to the Neje 30W module I had on my Ortur Laser Master 2 and use it only for rotary work. The 40W on my Ortur is for engraving and cutting and boy does it cut. I haven't tried anything as thick as the 18mm but I have several sheets of 6mm I want to use for projects. Thanks for the video!
Hello George Chambers, thank you for your comment.
My cut was done without air assist, just a small fan blowing across the base; up next I will build an air assist system, and I am sure it could go even deeper than 18mm.
Ciao
thnak you
so, you mean you didnt change the mother board? only the laser unit? is this safe? thanks.. i also have a 30w and i am happy, but 40w for cutting seems great
Hello Karvis71, than you for your comment.
Yes, exactly, only the laser module and the power brick with the output current of 4A.
Based on the datasheet the module works with: Master 2/ master 2Plus/Master 2mix/Master 2max/ Master 2S and 3 series.
Ciao
Sir can upgrade my old neje 20 watt to this 40 model by just replacing laser 20 w to this video model will it work?
Hello, I saw on one channel a measurement of the optical power of the Neje A40640 40w (which Neje used to call 80 w), and this module produced 8.6 watts of optical power - less than the Atomstask M 50 (with a smaller focus point). Have you measured optical power?
Hello DyudyukVitaliy, thank you for your comment.
I've ordered the measuring device, therefore I might be able to give an exact number soon, however, I found that the laser that shipped with the Aufero Laser 2, the Module LU2-4-SF, rated at 5W optical power is somewhat more capable than the NEJE A40640, which by the way it was rated at 15W when I bought it, now I saw it recently rated at 10W.
It didn't sound right when I bought it since there were around multiple A40640 rated at different powers like 40W (the one I bought), 50W and 80W.
Stay tuned for the testing video.
Ciao
@@MiddleRoomWorkshop is it still a good option to buy the A40640 or are there any other modules to upgrade for the same prices with better performance?
Hi, I have the neje 3 with the A40640 module. Is it possible to upgrade the A40640 to a stronger module? If so which would you recommend? Trying to get some faster cuts and burn times. Thanks, I really enjoy watching your videos. Just turned 65 to and still learning,lol
Hi, @williedog1127; thank you for your comment and belated Happy Birthday :)
The next step up to the NEJE A40640 is the new version of the same module, the E40 and the E80.
The E40 is a bit more effective than the A40640, and after reading on the Neje Official website, it seems compatible with your particular model. ua-cam.com/video/jag5Xey3Yc0/v-deo.html
The E80 is double the power, but you must use the adapting board that ships with it to work since it is a 24V module and its is pretty capable from my early testing (review coming out soon).
For purchase here are some good offer for the E40 & E80 | s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DluPWdf
I hope it helps
Happy engraving
Ciao
Thank you so much .. can you make a video about upgrading the work surface of Neje Master pleeeeezz
Hello Zakaria Khouni, thank you for your comment.
Please be a bit more explicit and I will try my best to create a video. Do you mean the installation of the wooden board?
Ciao
@@MiddleRoomWorkshop what i meant is increasing the length of axes (x,y) .. can we do that without replacing the motors and the electronics parts ?
Hello Zakaria Khouni, thank you for your comment.
Yes, that is certainly doable, and apart from physically changing the aluminium profile and the belt, then it's all about the firmware.
But, the short axis will need to be supported to avoid excessive deflection, also depending on how long you would like it to be you might need the extra motor.
I am planning to do a similar upgrade for the future.
Ciao
Was the module replace due to the issue of the 30 w flashing? A video u made after this???? Becuase rim having the same issue
Hello Justin Tanicala, thank you for your comment.
The upgrade was planned but definitely earlier because of the failed 30W module.
I am sorry to hear that you are facing the same issue.
Ciao
Great video, I've been searching all over but couldn't find much on adding the N60460 laser module to the ortur laser master 2 but I've seen it done so I tried it. Module recently quit working and I found that the old motherboard on the x axis had burned out really badly which was causing it to no longer have power and could have been a huge fire hazard. I've written to support but no answer and was wondering if you might know what I did wrong? I had it grounded per the Ortur advisory but maybe I had a short? My other thought was maybe it wasn't just plug and play and I need to upgrade my power supply since you did that in your video. Long shot but I was hoping you might have a video or advice on how I went wrong and where I could find a suitable power supply. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Were did you see it done got the same as you and want to upgrade
very informative video, thanks. have to done a video to convert a Neje 3 max by installing an E40 module?
Hi, G Gopaul; thank you for your comment and compliment.
I haven't done that yet, but I am planning to acquire the E40 and E80 modules in the near future.
Ciao
I would like to know where to find the specs of this module. All I can see in the NEJE website is an output of 15W for this model. What I've missed. Or maybe there is a formula for this conversion. Thank you
Hello Guillermo Medina, thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately, there is no formula, as already explained in other comments, the advertised power is the overall absorption of the machine the actual optical power output is much lower like in the case of the Module upgraded in the video.
The module number is A40640, and it is a dual diode laser of about 40W but the effective optical power output is 15W which in other words is double the power of the 30W module which instead has an effective optical output power of 7.5W.
I hope it helps
Is the dual laser at the focus point linear like a single laser?
Or does it take the form of a cross?
Thank you!
Hello abumoslem tamer, thank you for your comment.
The single laser produces a rectangular focal point, while the dual laser primarily thanks to the FAC lens creates a smaller squared focal point, therefore concentrating more power in a smaller area.
Ciao
@@MiddleRoomWorkshop
Thank you very much !
@@MiddleRoomWorkshop
So this Dual laser diode is more efficient at cutting round and curved shapes, isn't it ?
Hello abumoslem tamer, thank you for your comment.
I would rather say more precise.
Ciao
Thanks a lot for this great video!
I did just like you showed and - at first - it worked like a charm. Then I got an issue with the COM port which I solved.
But now the laser beam interrupts or is off completely while the movement still is fine.
Might be a hardware problem,
Does anyone have any hint?
Hi, Penasch; thank you for your comment.
Could you be more specific about the way it interrupts? Does it interrupt while working, if yes have you noticed if it is related to the power?
Did you change the power adapter to the 5A one?
Last but not least, if none of the above is the problem, try moving all the wiring harnesses one by one while the laser is on, perhaps is a simple false contact.
Let me know.
Ciao
I have nearly four year bought Neje 20 w laser plug n Play not plus or pro can I update 40 w will it support my old plug n Play diode laser engraver / cutter? Please give me accurate answer
Hello MD HABIBULLAH, thank you for your comment.
That is an old model, I cannot really tell you whether you will be able to simply plug it in and use it.
I am sure that if it is not directly compatible it can be adapted with the adapter board that they provide with the module, where you can provide the power directly to the Laser and connect only the control line to the main board of your machine.
For your reference the documentation list the NEJE's machine directly compatible: Master 2, Master 2 Plus, Master 2 Mix, Master 2 Max, Maser 2s and 3 series.
Unfortunately in don't know your exact model, therefore I cannot tell you, yes or not but my explanation should help you, bear in mind that laser module works also with other machines from other brands, and even with custom-built machines, therefore you should have absolutely no issue with it.
Ciao
i bought the max 3 motherboard with the a40640 modules for my master 2s plus. can you make a video on how to install the max 3 motherboard onto the master 2s plus? :] also... how do i setup light burn for it?
Hi, IronMan; thank you for your comment.
I can put that on my schedule, but it won't happen soon.
About the setup in LightBurn, you will be pretty much ready, except for the size, which you will need to set up under device settings or to be safer in the GRBL configuration under $130=250.000 (X-axis maximum travel) and $131=420.000 (Y-axis maximum travel)
Ciao
@@MiddleRoomWorkshop thx. and i meant the neje 3 plus not the 3 max cuz u cant use the 3 max with the master 2 plus. anyway i got thing working . sort of. i cant do anything but start from the current position. :[
Hi, do try marking on steel metal?
Hello Has_14, thank you for your comment.
In general a laser diode should not produce visible engraving effects on steel, but seen the power of the new module, I will give it a try and let you know.
Ciao
What is the difference between neje A40630 vs N40630 and which one is better and why?
Hello Muhammad Huzaifa, thank you for your comment.
The two laser modules are very similar in fact, the only difference is the laser compression technology used, so the A40630 has a longer Depth of Field which allow you to cut deeper overall, in addition, you have a smaller focal point which effectively concentrates the same 5.5w power in a smaller area making it more effective or in other words, seems more powerful.
I hope it helps.

Musstes du Steuerungsplatinen tauschen? Reicht das 3 Ampere Netzteil?
Hi BeeDad Bienen halten im Garten, thank you for your comment.
Sorry, I do not speak German.
There is no need to swap the control board, all you need is the buy the module in a kit with its power supply.
The module is 4 Ampere.
Below is an offer from a French warehouse.

Will the 20 watt board support 40 watt by just replacing with 40w?

Is it possible to use the laser head and mother board on a different manufactures chassis? Also does using this head cut down on the taper in the kerf?
Hello mpetersen6, thank you for your comment.
You can do that, but you will need to override the driver to let the motherboard know that the size has changed and if different types of stepper motors are used in the other chasse, also if the line motion is of screw-type instead of belt type.
I do not think it will be easy, and definitely, Neje desktop app won't let you do that, paraphs you could try with LaserGRBL or LightBurn.
I hope it helps

HOW IS IT 15W OUTPUT WITH ONLY 2 5.5W DIODES IN IT ?? THEY DONT MAKE 7.5 W DIODES AS FAR AS I KNOW .
I use neje master 2s plus
software laser grbl 5.4.0
Windows 7
The device stops working in the middle of a file.
What could be the reason?
Hi, thank you for your comment.
Does this happen from time to time, or always.
If is random, it may be a cable or connector problem.
Let me know

whats the parameters u set ?
Hello Neagle Styles, thank you for your comment.
There are no parameters to set apart changing the power brick to the 4A version and the module.
