tweakie, nice work again, brilliant finishing.

( My mirrors are framed into a picture-ready frames, bought in a shop, so I gladly change My framing skill to Your picture engraving skill biggrin

Thanks Beni.

I have posted the picture and reference to DotG on a few other sites as well.
You deserve every success with DotG so the more people that know about it the better. cool

I am certain that DotG was never intended for this application but it produced the GCode beautifully.

This is a 1mm chequers board ( I took KisKZ advice and used a rule instead of a coin biggrin

)

It is not perfect because I was using minimum laser power (in order to keep the dot size small) and the laser does not always trigger properly at low settings but I think there may be a way around this.

So far, so good but making the chess pieces is going to be really difficult biggrin

Tweakie.

tweakie, incredible fine resolution! As I see it is 1/8mm that is ca. 200DPI. So that is the secret of beautiful pictures You can engrave smile

I think mechanical engraving never can be so detailed and effective.

Unbelievable!
If so, processor circuits will go up!

Congratulation!
The Laser can make very nice and interesting products....

Hi Amator,
My machine has a theoretical resolution of 0.003125mm on the X and Y axis so the step-over of 0.125mm is no problem but you are right because I don't think I could do this pattern with an engraving tool.

Hi KisKZ,
Thank you for the information - I will check the Vectric site for details.

This was just a test run but I am really quite excited by the results.
The DotG generated code consists of 467,517 lines and with 4 lines of code to produce each dot, the image consists of 116,879 dots which took just 1.5 hours to complete. With a stroke length of 1mm the little electromagnet has now shown that it is capable of producing at least 21.644 dots per second (axis movement time has been ignored in the calculations), which is about double my previously achieved speed.
Instead of sounding like an ASR33 Teletype my CNC now sounds like a Gatling Gun biggrin

and although not quite as quick as the Roland Metaza it is getting closer.

Tweakie.

tweakie, You're incredible! More than 21Hz dotting is amazing, my friend! Can I ask You for a video?
Please show us the mechanism You used to reach this performance!
What material is it? What size? Did You use a rotary tool or simply punch it?

Hi Amator,

The actual dot engraving is 170mm x 70mm and the material is Perspex (acrylic).
The electromagnet is fitted to my Z axis in place of the spindle and just impacts (there is no rotation).
I will try to make a short video so you can hear the actual sound it makes.

Twekie, nice design! Did You use the same triggering method that You use for laser?
Thank You for finding time to record the tool in action!

Hi Amator,

Yes, exactly the same GCode (DotG post processor) and triggering method (the M10P1/M11P1 code set mapped to an output pin)

Hi zasti,

My electromagnet came from Italy http://www.robotfactory.it/CncMicropunti/Micropunti.htm

(It had been made to impact on the return stroke (spring stroke) but I have reversed the needle and made a new front end so it now impacts on the power stroke).
