I went to a Chinese trade show in Shanghai earlier this year to look at machinery for the sign industry and we decided to purchase a Chinese laser.

Becuase we wern't sure exactly what we were going to do with it we bought a dual head 120W+50W unit with a work surface of 1600mmx1000mm, which we hope will be a good multi-purpose machine.

It arrived this week and we have had some issues with software and instruction manuals, but we are slowly making progress.

On Monday I hope to make our first saleable products.

If anyone has experience of the Golden Laser and would like to trade experiences, please feel free.

Cheers

Just inform us what's your problem.
Maybe i could help.

Hi

Thanks for the offer.
I have managed to set up most of the paprameters, but when printing a bitmap, the bitmap is getting skewed to the right.

It is almost as if the x axis is moving to the right as it prints, becuse when i enventually cut around the printed photo, the top right hand corner lines up, but the bottom left corner is out of the box being cut.

Regards

Tom

Actually i also want to buy dual head laser before.
But i still couldnt imagine to set up two laser on one axis.
could you send a picture of machine laser head?
is that machine has 2 datum or only 1 datum?

do you already check the focus of your laser?
and set the datum corectly?
if all correct, try to engrave using vector base, not using bmp file.
btw, what laser software do you use to communicate between PC and machine?

If your cut move out of the box, is it move far away or just 1-2mm?
if just 1-2mm, you could adjust your lens and mirror. it happens on my machine before.
try to laser fire on top corner left-right, bottom corner left-right, center, and othe 4 spot on machine when adjusting the mirror and lens. all must be fire in correct position.
