Laser working on Glass
Laser machine can work on many materials, such as wood, acrylic, plastic, marble, fabric, paper, cloth, and much much more, now we are talking about GLASS. Its not any special glass–just common one. It looks like a art for Etching and Engraving on glass. You can make any design, then produces a beautiful frosted effect, making your glasswares appear more sophisticated and personalized. Logos, text (and just about anything else!) stands out even more as the laser creates an effect that makes your engraved design really “pop” off the glass background. Redsail laser engraver will bring you new feeling for this.
Why do we say its new feeling?
–its popular more and more: you can make you own design which only belongs to you. You are only one.
–Its very easy to operate: Any design you can imagine, you can make it on glass with Redsail laser systems.
–Its Affordable: You can spend much less money than a big brand to get a redsail laser engraver but get same result; Every one can take a laser as long as he has imagination for work and life.
–Most important—–it will bring you money and also happiness.
To engrave on glass is a little bit special than other materials—We can find a lot of round or cylinder type of glass cup or bottle—not only flat but with more different types. Then how do we use a Redsail mini laser to work on this round glass material?
We need an equipment called rotary attachment. We had talked about how to use it in other topic, but if you have any question about it. We are always here to give you anwer.
Hello all friends of Redsail,

If our friends you, have any questions or problems that are urgent, please do not hesitate to call us. We will check mail everyday!
Best wishes to all of you!
To clean mirrors and lens are very important during operation of a laser machine. Dirty mirros will affect the working result of course and we have to clean it after some time use. So, how shall we do that?
Please see here: how-to-clean-the-first-reflecting-mirror
In July 7th–10th, Redsail attened sign exhibition in SHANGHAI and got great sccuess. Lots of customers from different countries visited our booth and had nice meeting. Many orders comes and Redsail is enlarging the production!
Redsail exhibition
Many customers use laser engraver to output some coloful image, such as jpg file that we usually use. But, they also face questions, most software can not output coloful image directly, so do our software easycut. There must be some way to solve this problem—it is called grayscale in photoshop:
When we output color image from Easycut 5.1, we should dispose it in
Photoshop Software at first. The steps are as following:
1. click “File” — “Open”
2. Find your file in the computer
3. Click “Imange” — “Mode” — “Grayscale”
4. Click “ok”
5. The picture is gray now
6. Click “Image”— “Mode”— “Bitmap”
7. Please choose “Halftone Screen” in the “Method” option
8. Choose “Round” in “Shape” Option
9. Then it will show like this—-looks photo is made by grating or mesh
10. Save it to “BMP” form
11. “Depth”— “1 bit”
Then input this new file to Easycut , and it can output directly from
Easycut now.
If you want to know it exactly, please contact Redsail. We will always be here to give you help.
Hello friends of Redsail!

Welcome to visit our machine show!
During the operation of a laser machine, what is the most important step to get a good working result?
—a good laser beam alignment
Normally for a Co2 laser engraver or cutter, there are 3 reflecting mirrors and 1 focus lens. Laser beam comes out of the laser tube, then pass through 3 mirrors, then pass the lens, then getting out to work on materials. So the alignment is very important.
Sometimes if you did not make good alignment, the result will be bad, such as, in right corner it engraves or cuts well, but in the left coner it does not; its cutting depth is different even for one materials; yesterday it works well, but today it does not with the same materials and same settings. Laser beam is very sensitive, so maybe slightly movement will affect the working result.
And of course, pay attention to mirrors and lens: they must be clean.
Do it as following:
General Procedure for Laser Route Adjustment
Regulate current to below 8 ma (60%), to keep the power not too high.
The first step: Adjust the laser route between laser beam spot and
the first reflecting mirror.
Put the test paper in front of the first reflecting mirror, then press ¡ test¡ on the control panel slightly, then check if there is a spot on the test paper. It is better to make the spot in the center of the mirror. If there is not or the spot is not in the center, please adjust the location or the height of the first reflecting mirror holder (or the laser tube).
Please see below:
1) Put the test paper in front of the first reflecting mirror
2) press ¡ test¡ key on the control panel
3) check if the spot is in the center of the mirror
This is the first step, please make sure the spot is in the center.
The second step: Adjust the laser route between the first and the
second reflecting mirror.
First of all, put the test paper in front of the second reflecting mirror, press the arrows on the control panel to move the laser head to the top left corner, press ¡ test¡ and check the spot on the test paper. Next press ¡down¡ arrow to move the track to the lower left corner, press ¡ test¡ again, then please check whether the two spots coincide with each other. If the two spots are within the circle of the second reflecting mirror and coincide with each other, laser route between the first reflecting mirror and the
second reflecting mirror is no problem; if not, please adjust the screws on the back of the first reflecting mirror holder to make sure the spots coincide with each, then adjust the location of second mirror holder (the X-axis direction), to make sure the spots are within the circle of the second reflecting mirror. Please see below:
1) put the test paper in front of the second reflecting mirror
2) press the arrows on the control panel to move the laser head to the top left corner, press “test” and make sure the spot is on the test paper
3) press “down” arrow to move the track to the lower left corner, press “test” againand make sure the second spot is in the same position with the first one.
4) 3) If the spots are not in the same position, please adjust the screws on the first reflecting mirror.
5) 4) If the pots are not in the circle, please adjust the position/height of the second reflecting mirror holder.
The third step: Adjust the laser route between the second and the
third reflecting mirror.
First, move the laser head to the left of the X axis, put the test paper in front of the hole of the laser head, press ¡ test¡ and there is a spot on the paper. Then, move the laser head to the right of the X axis, press ¡ test¡ switch again, and check whether the two spots coincide with each other, if so and the spots are within the hole of the laser head(center is better), then the laser route between the second and the third mirror is no problem, if not, please adjust the screws on the second mirror holder to make sure
the spots are coincide. Finally, if the spots are not in the hole, adjust the location of second mirror holder (the Y-axis direction), to make sure the spots are within the hole of laser head(center is better). (Attention: the principle of the laser adjustment is the same between mirror 1 and 2, 2 and 3.) Please see below:
1) Move the laser head to the left of the X axis (c), put the test paper in front of the hole of the laser head
2)Press “test” and there will be a spot on paper
3) Move laser head to the right of the X axis, press “test” switch again, and check whether the two spots coincide with each other, please make sure they are coincide and in the center of the hole.
4) If not, please adjust the screws on the second mirror holder to make sure the spots are coincide; if the spots are not in the hole, adjust the location of second mirror holder (the Y-axis direction), to make sure the spots are within the hole of laser head(center is better).
The fourth Step: Adjust the laser route between the third reflecting
mirror and the focus mirror.
Attach a test paper under the laser head or on the working platform, press “test”, and check whether the spot is in the center. If so, this procedure is no problem; if not, please adjust the screws on the laser head to make sure the spot is in the center. Please
see below?
1) Put a carton paper on the working platform. Adjust focus using acrylic block, then press “test”, and check if the spot is in the center.
2) If the spot is not in the center, please adjust the screws on the laser head. We should make sure this spot below the laser head center, just as the picture shows.
The fifth step: Check the cutting effect (acrylic) and adjust the laser
route. Check the cutting result of the acrylic, if the cutting surface is slanted to the right, the laser tube is a little lower; if it inclines to the left, the laser tube is a little higher.
Please adjust the height of the laser tube to solve the problem. If the cutting surface is slanted upward or downward, then please move the location of the laser head (adjust the screws on the laser head accordingly) to make sure all the cutting surfaces are vertical and smooth.
Attention:
1. Laser route adjustment is the adjustment of the angle between the mirror and the laser route(it should be 45 degree). Some related knowledge are needed, such as reflection principle. For beginners, please operate under the instruction, consult the technician if necessary. In addition, laser is sightless and may burn person, be careful
when adjusting.
2. Generally, when adjusting, if the spots slant to one direction, set up the mirror of the opposite direction or set down the mirror of the same direction, and adjust the screws behind the mirror holder accordingly.
3. It is better to make sure the three reflecting mirrors are at the same horizontal surface first, and it is more easier to adjust the laser beam.
