Laser helps you to make a dream

May 19th, 2011

I talked to a customer Simon yesterday about Redsail laser cutter. He bought our laser machine 4 years ago. At that time he bought a laser model C120 and now we upgrated this model as CM1290.

He told me Redsail laser helps him to realize the dream–make a small shop, make some craft, do some business, and support a family.

This is how a laser made: with this laser, we can make a adversting company, cutting some acrylic sheet, cutting differnet design, you can even make a small factory. It just needs your idea and little money.

Where you can find this kind of laser?

stone router engraving on marble from Redsail

May 5th, 2011

We just made a new video about our smaller router to work on marble.

Most customer thinks we have to use a very powerful cnc router to engrave on marble but actually its not true 100%.

We can use a smaller router, good quality tools also with cooling system to make it work well.

Here is the video link that you will find a good result from a small router.

Plotter FAQ: Why the cutting result is of distortion or its not closed?

December 31st, 2010

 Sometimes when you are operating a vinyl cutter, you put the vinyl there, but when you finish you find the cutting result is of distrotion? or its not closed file. why is that?

Check it here first:

1. too much pressure, or the blade bit is too much longer out of blade holder, or the vinyl (paper) is too dirty, or the vinyl is too soft(so when the roller is moving, materials follow the moving and become not flat)

2. software setting is not good. Please check software setting.

3. motor maybe loose, so it may make the carriage cant move correctly following the motor

4. its possible that the blade is not moving smoothly in the blade holder, please check out and clean if necessary.

Check these first, and please contact Redsail team if it does not help.

Plotter FAQ 3: Why during working, some parts are cut well but some not?

December 25th, 2010

When cutting plotter is working, sometimes you can cut some parts through but in some other parts you can not. why is that?

Reason:

1. blade comes out of blade holder too much; the correct way is, blade bit should be 2/3 of paper thickness, so that we can be sure it can cut scratch the paper even with higher pressure.  

2. cutting strip is used for quite long time, or the new cutting strip is not attached well. So the vinyl cant be flat.

3. Distance between blade holder is too much or too less(correct distance should be about 2mm).

For more details, please contact Redsail .

Plotter FAQ 2: Why plotter has no response?

December 18th, 2010

Cutting plotter  has no response after turning on, only the fan is moving, no message on the LCD, what shall I do?

 Answer:

1. check the voltage of the power supply—if there is no 5v, CPU cant work normally, LCD will no display.

 2. if voltage is ok but LCD no display, please check CPU.

For other question, please contact Redsail.

Plotter FAQ 1 : Why plotters go like being crazy?

December 18th, 2010

Answer:

1) choose correct software setting. If there are different manufacturer in software, please choose redsail.

2) connect plotter with both USB and serial port which is not correct

3) files are stopped without finishing.  Cutting plotter may become crazy working if we restart it

4) operators work do other job with same computer during plotter working

5) software is corrupted or the computer has virus

6) Other working machine signal affect plotter working signal

7) Please check plotter serial port or USB port

If plotter still does not work after checking a lot, please contact Redsail tech team.

Laser FAQ(1)

November 25th, 2010

When you get a laser machine, you face problem after long time use, we have to check and make it work like we were professional engineer. Now Redsail is teaching you how to do with a laser problem:

Phenomenon?machine has no response after connecting to power

Steps to solve it?

1. be sure you have correct input power?220V/50HZ)

2 .Turn on power switch, if the switch light is off, maybe the voltage or power supply has problem, please check and change power supply if necessary. If power switch light is on, recheck power supply. Test the input 220v is normal or not with a multimeter; if 220v is not good, please repeat the above steps; if 220v is good, check output voltage(36v&24v) of power switch is good or not. If its not good, please change the power supply.

3. If every output voltage is correct, test the input voltage is good or not with a multimeter; please check the connection between power supply and control card if no voltage; if the input of the control card is ok., please check the cable that connects control card and control panel(black serial cable)—test the red and black wire inner it with 5v or not; if there is no 5v, please change control card; if there is 5v but control panel still show nothing, please replace the control panel.

4. If both control panel and control card are ok, but the machine still does not move, please check if the motor driver light is on. If the light is off, please check if the connector for motor driver and power supply ok or not; if the connection is ok, please test if the motor driver’s +V is normal or not(it should be 24/36v); and input voltage +5V is normal or not. If the voltage is normal but the light is not on, please change the motor driver; if the motor driver light is on, test the Y4 of the control card—-test pin 1 and pin 3 voltage(Y axis); also test pin 1 and pin 3 of the Y5(X axis), then click the arrow of the control panel, if nothing happen before click and after click, please change the control card; if the voltage changes, please check the connection.

5. If everything above is working well, please change motor directly (if one of the axis is with problem, we can change the two motor drivers of X and Y to see which one is with problem.

why choose Redsail mini cnc router RS-3636?

November 6th, 2010

In the cnc router market, there are many different types with different prices and quality. How to tell which one is good and which one is so so?—Its hard to say. But if you choose Redsail mini cnc router RS-3636, you will see the difference below:

1. we use casting body for the machine: many supplier just assemble it with some metal parts but Redsail use whole casting body for this mini router.  Its not heavy and can be used for long time without distortion; so this can higher the machine mechanical resolution.

And this body can make the machine keep working always for 24 hours but some others cant.

2. The mini router moving by table but not only spindle. Table moving can higher the resolution in a big step. This is not all the big machine can do.

3. we use 0.8kw for the machine. So if the price is too cheaper, also check the spindle power. Maybe its only 0.4kw.

4. We use USB connection now which is more convenient.

5. We use ballscrew and guideway for the cnc router  moving. So keep checking when you decide to buy—is this machine moved by guideway or by belt ? Belts does not have too much power to work long time and have good quality job.

6. Our spindle works together with the inverter, so please pay attention that do you find a invert when you decide to buy a router?

At last, we have experienced service and teachnical team. Pleaes also consider this when you decide to buy a machine.

Here is for you my friend.

Redsail.
