“Will the new 20W laser work with the old 6550?”
We got this question a lot when we rolled out our new workhorse for our 6550-Pro Laser engravers.
And out of the gate, that answer was a disappointing (even to us) “No”.
This was due to voltage needed by the laser to perform its functions. The 20W laser requires 24VDC in order to push out its 20W of output power; while the 6550 boards are made only to provide 12VDC of power.
You saw my teaser video on the YoraHome CNC User Group Facebook page, and the answer now is an exciting “YES!”
