For different machine model and laser module, the way to start laser job is also different. Please locate your machine and module type, then follow the corresponding instructions.
Before starting laser work, make sure you have finished all the calibrations. And run boundary to check if the work origin are correct.
If you have installed the Enclosure, please ensure that the Enclosure door has been closed before you start the job.
Keep the machine attended throughout the task!
¶ 1.6W/2W IR
- After G-code file is generated, click Export > Load G-code to Workspace > Start on Luban.
- In the pop-up Select Mode window, there are two modes: Input Material Thickness or Start From Work Origin. Select one and click Start.
- Input Material Thickness: Manually enter the thickness of the material and the machine will automatically adjust the laser height according to the material thickness of that you enter.
- Start From Work Origin: To use this mode, you must first manually focus the laser and set the work origin.
¶ 10W
- After G-code file is generated, click Export > Load G-code to Workspace > Start on Luban.
- In the pop-up Select Mode window, there are three modes: Automatic Thickness Measurement, Input Material Thickness and Start From Work Origin. Select one and click Start.
- Automatic Thickness Measurement: Based on the work origin and work area, the machine will calculate the material's position and move the toolhead to measure the material thickness. Then the machine will adjust the laser height accordingly.
- Input Material Thickness: Manually enter the thickness of the material and the machine will automatically adjust the laser height according to the material thickness of that you enter.
- Start From Work Origin: To use this mode, you must first manually focus the laser and set the work origin.
¶ 20W/40W
For 20W/40W module, Start on Luban function is supported only when you connect the machine with Luban via the serial port.
- After G-code file is generated, click Export > Load G-code to Workspace > Start on Luban.
- In the pop-up Select Mode window, click Start.
¶ 1.6W/10W/2W IR
- After G-code file is generated, click Export > Load G-code to Workspace > Start on Luban.
- In the pop-up Select Mode window, click Use Work Origin/Start From Work Origin. then click Start.
¶ 20W/40W
For 20W/40W module, Start on Luban function is supported only when you connect the machine with Luban via the serial port.
- After G-code file is generated, click Export > Load G-code to Workspace > Start on Luban.
- In the pop-up Select Mode window, click Start.
-
After the G-code file is generated, transfer it to G-code file to the machine.
-
In the Workspace, check the state of the Enclosure.
- IF you have installed the Enclosure, make sure the Enclosure door is closed and will stay closed throughout the task.
- IF the Enclosure is not installed or purchased, be sure to turn off Door Detection in Luban's Workspace > Settings in the top menu bar. Otherwise, the machine will not start the task.
-
Press and hold the work switch on the integrated controller until the machine starts the task.
During laser machining, you can control the task using the following methods:
-Work switch: Press to pause/resume; Press and hold to stop.
-Luban: Click Pause/Resume/Stop to perform the corresponding operation.
The Ray Enclosure supports Door Detection, which can detect the real-time opening and closing status of the Enclosure door. When the sensor detects that the Enclosure door is opened:
-If the machine is on standby, new tasks can not be started until the Enclosure door is closed.
-If the machine is performing tasks, it will immediately pause the ongoing task. To resume, you need to first close the Enclosure door, then press the work switch or click the Resume button on Luban.
