Power Output Anomaly: Line (Vector) vs Engrave (Raster)
Explains why DC excited CO2 laser tubes produce different power output between Fill (raster) and Line (vector) layers, with test data from a Nova 35-80w.
This article is intended to discuss the power output anomaly between a Fill Layer vs a Line Layer for DC excited tubes.
The laser output power is set from the factory with a min power of 7% and max power of 70%. The reason for this is there is a minimum firing threshold and a milliamp (ma) power output limit based on the tube that is installed and the power supply that it is matched with. (This does not affect RF tubes — their power output settings are 1 to 99%.)
