Laser Module scope

Post by wrexler »

Is the Vectric laser module specifically for CNC laser attachments, or would it work for some stand alone laser engravers?
I use the VCarve Pro software with my Masso controller on a AXYZ 60x100 inch table, but I also have a Universal Laser M-300.
The OEM Laser driver prevents me from upgrading to Windows 10.
If I could control the laser using the Vectric software laser module I would buy it in a heartbeat.. :)

Thank you in advance

Some post processors have a direct output feature that can output code directly to the machine but that still requires a driver on the PC which isn't part of the laser module but rather the specific machine itself.

Can that laser accept input from a file? Perhaps gcode or is it something else?

You could check out other laser software software- not sure they cover your controller but the SW is excellent. Gene
