Rotational axis for K40 Laser

[dh9ts]

Hello all,

here is a screenshot of my recent project: A rotational axis for a K40 Laser. I will use it to engrave glasses.

It is designed with Part Design and assembled with Assembly 4.

At the moment the first prototype is cut from wood, the final version will be 4 mm acrylic.

Best regards
Thorsten

Hello,

thanks for your replies, here are the first pictures.

It was the first test, I used always the same glass and some logos I had in the correct format.
Size of the logos is 60mmx60mm, they are raster engraved with laser power 20 % @ 300 mm/s.

At the top of the glas you can see the tests for correct size / power adjustments.

That's looking pretty good for a prototype. Do you know what caused the BBQ logo to fade away on the side like that?

Thanks. Yes, I know: Someone (guess) forget to tighten the screws on the air assist. So the air-needle moved down an blocked the laser beam

It's always the little things huh. At least it was an easy fix.
