About laser driver & laser control board


Laser driver is one of the most important component in the laser module. Laser driver controls the voltage and the current that goes to the laser diode itself. It is important so that the laser driver sets and keeps the voltage and the current stable. It keeps the laser diode safe.

We add Zener diode as an additional laser diode protection.

TTL wire / wires are also added to the laser driver. With TTL digital signal (3.5-12V range) you may change laser power (duty ratio). For 5.6 watt Endurance laser we make our own custom based laser drivers.

All Endurance drivers / laser control boards are very reliable and been tested before shipment.

Everything that you need to know about Endurance accessories.

Getting started tour

After a little time to

After a little time to tame the laser, I managed to get good results in cutting and engraving.
Of course, we must not forget the precious help of George, who spares no effort and his availability.
You want a quality laser, you have to deal with Endurance Laser.

Herve Thieblemont

I purchased a 5.6 Laser

I purchased a 5.6 Laser from Endurance not knowing what I was letting myself in for.
I spoke with George many times and he reassured me that it would meet my application needs, anyway 7 days later it turned up from Russia ( very quick I thought) inside was a nice new laser and mo board which I knew nothing about any way after a few connection problems and fantastic help from George and the Endurance Facebook page I was up and running but I was not 100% happy as the Lens would not focus properly Guess what MSG to George 5 days later not one but two replacement lenses and Boom the Laser is so hot on the money and so precise that I am doing things with it that I never thought possible.
If you are thinking of getting a first laser or a replacement I would 100% recommend Endurance.

The laser I got from

The laser I got from Endurance laser was everything I expected, and more. Pre-purchase support was awesome – I don’t think they sleep, as every question I asked was answered with amazing promptness.

I was able to find what I needed on their support web site to integrate the laser into my CNC machine – it really was quite straightforward.

I can easily recommend Endurance laser.

The laser does not work
Please, check the power adapter’s (voltage & current) performance. Connect the TTL wire to the 12V+ to test if the laser is working. It should work full power. Watch this video.
The laser works full power but the laser power cannot be changed
Please check the g-code parameters (S / L) used for the pin to change the power. Either your PWM does not change the duty ratio or the contact of any of the laser connectors (if you run without TTL) is broken. Check with the voltmeter and ammeter if the voltage on this pin changes. Watch a video about TTL signal. Arduino with TTL.
I did everything as described but the laser does not work
We need to see a detailed photo and video of what you have done to help you with further steps.
Sometimes 13N10 or LM338 die and need to be replaced. We will guide you how to do that.
Endurance MO1 PCB does not work
The Endurance MO1 PCB is a quite a simple circuit and works pretty stable, however, there is a simple way to check it out. (described on this page + video guidance)
How do I find a proper pin to connect the laser?
We provide an ultimate guidance and tutorials. The laser is usually connected to the fan output on 3D printers or spindle output on CNC machines or can be connected to any other pin that is controllable, such as: D11 on the Arduino Nano. Detailed pinouts you may find here.
The laser lost its power.
The probability that this might happen is 5%. It might happen due to overheating. Avoid the laser diode and laser control board overheating. Check the temperature of the heatsink or laser driver. They must not be VERY hot (if you can touch these elements and hold on – it means that the temperature is less than 70C). If the temperature rises too high we can guide you how to reduce the voltage going to the laser diode and causing the loss of power.
I am trying to cut 3-5mm plywood using the laser, however I still did not manage to cut it with a single pass. Please assist
  1. use a G-2 lens for laser cutting.
  2. setup a perfect focus on a G-2 lens (make sure that focal range is something like 4-8 mm)
  3. make sure that a plywood is very dry (you may use a 3D printer bed to warm it up)
  4. speed parameters should be 50-150 in your g-code
  5. make sure that the plywood is not specially treated with anti-inflammable materials
  6. make sure that the laser runs full power and you have enough power that goes to the laser
  7. make sure that the lens is clean and has no dust on it.

You may cut and engrave using this diode laser

The Endurance 5 / 5.5 / 5.6 watt (5000 / 5500 / 5600 mw) Semiconductor (Diode) Laser module.

 

We’d like to tell you about the possibilities, which a 5-5.6 (5000-5600 mw) watt laser opens.

5  /5.5 / 5.6 watt (5000 / 5500 / 5600 mw) Endurance laser is very easy to mount to any 3D printer / CNC machine / XY engraving plotter

 

The laser can be mounted to almost any 3D printer or CNC mill.

 

Its main difference from 2.1 watt and 3.5 watt is inside. It has a more efficient cooling system and a more powerful solid-state diode. We use high-quality NICHIA diodes with 445 nm wavelength. Another difference is the current strong demand. It draws 3 – 4 amps, while a 2.1 watt (2100 mW) and a 3.5 watt (3500 mW) lasers need only 1.7 – 2 amps with the same voltage of 9-16 volts.

 

 

Our tests showed that the laser is able to work 48-72 hours non-stop or perhaps even more.

 

Spotlights of the 5 / 5.5 /  5.6 watt laser module

The 5 / 5.5 / 5.6 watt (5000 / 5500 / 5600 mw) laser easily cuts plywood and acrylic 3-5 mm (3/16”-1/6”) thick, and it even cuts plywood 8 mm (1/3″) thick with many passes (requires Z axes for that).

This fact is remarkable because a СО2 laser needs to have more than 60-80 watt to cut plywood this thickness.

The ability to cut 8 mm plywood and 5 mm acrylic allows solving a lot of customers’ practical tasks. You may create beautiful masterpieces.

It should be mentioned that the same materials in different environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) might require different parameters of cutting. The color and transparency of the material matter.

The content below shows the tested materials and cutting parameters of the 5 / 5.5 / 5.6 watt (5000 / 5500 / 5600 mw) diode laser.

Laser cuts are made using 5.5 – 5.6 watt (5500 – 5600 mW) Endurance laser

 

 

We used a few kinds of three-ply. Though all ply samples looked absolutely the same we obtained different results.

You can not just cut plywood, wood, and acrylic with the 5.5-5.6 watt laser but you can also make workpieces for breadboards (on copper-plated glass fiber plastic) and for aluminum engraving.

The laser fits not just for cutting but for engraving as well. We wrote about it in our early articles.

Lasers are compatible with any CNC machines, plotters, and 3D printers and are easy to install.
