LASER on my ArcDroid!

Got my Raycus Fiber laser in last week. Finally got around to hooking it up to my ArcDroid :slight_smile:
Here is a video of it cutting 3mm Carbon steel at 21 mm/sec:

I believe I can tweak it to be faster and even cleaner. It currently has about a 1mm kerf

Thanks! Here is the laser I bought:

Here is the jack I added to trigger the Droid:

Love it! I’m planning to do the same. You just confirmed it can be done. Thanks for the confidence booster! :+1:

My pleasure. I saw someone on the facebook ArcDroid group had done it and it made me want to do it, I sold my Wazer water jet cutter to fund the project. If you need help with wiring it to the droid feel free to reach out to me. I bought this one: https://ebay.us/m/6zKzhC
It takes about 3 weeks to arrive, but a pretty reputable seller who covers the consumable lens under warranty.

Quelle capacité maximum en acier ?

This is pretty cool. I have a 2,000 watt laser welder/cleaner machine I picked up about two years ago with a Raycus power supply. I wasn’t sure if the Arcdroid could handle the weight. I do have a double wobble gun though.

I have the standard gun. It doesn’t weigh much more than my plasma cutter’s head, so no issues. I did have to cut my jerk settings down though, but I believe that was due to me cutting at 3048 mm/min (120 inches/min) though. I am using pure Oxygen as the gas so it is powerful!
