After having seen the video of Jan Mozol and all that he has written and also this other video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEB-hN3Fnek  I believe that a departure point for the mechanics with the magnets might be that represented in 2 enclosed drawings.

Does anyone have any idea how Roland make their impact heads?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvXmtWM5ZCM

They work extremely fast and from the specs it appears the plunger moves at about 700Hz (353 dpi resolution at 2in/min engraving speed):
https://www.rolanddga.com/products/engraving-machines/mpx-95-impact-printer/specifications

Do they utilize a very small solenoid and a very small stroke and low power? I would like to try and build a head that would be that fast.

There are also these handheld machines, which are much faster:

what is this secrecy?why can't somebody put here the picture of magnetic impact head? is a secret? we want to do this impact head but we need some help.for me is a hobby the CNC is ready but I need some draw with this head.
Help,help.!!!
Thank you!

Hi there,
I've got a question. Whenever I start engraving, the machine engraves it in italic shape not straight! Does anyone know what's the problem with? :-[ :-[ ??? ??? :(

Replaced the simple transistor-based circuit with a stepper driver to drive the solenoid, and now I can get much higher frequencies. Now 50Hz is not a problem and even can be pushed up to 80Hz.

Facing 2 problems:
1. The solenoid is connected to only one phase of the driver, so I am getting only HALF the frequency (the driver is set to FULL step). If 200 pulses are sent, the solenoid only does 100 strokes.
2. The plunger idle state position is random. After a pulse train the plunger sometimes stops inside the coil, while sometimes outside. This is a big problem, since it ruins the work when the plunger sticks outside while idle and being dragged on the work.

I think the 2 problem are related.

How did you overcome these issues? Did you have them at all?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan13 , the solution is simple: you can use 2 coils in paralel conection (I mean in magnetic way, not electric) and conect the two outputs one to each driver output .I've done this way using two solenoid coils and three magnets ,

Since I use the pwm in digital trigger, i just add a 0 pwm comand at the end of the g-code

like this:

S0
X0Y0

If you are interested i can send my gcode generator , by the way, I can send to everyone- here: ( it is in portuguese )
