As I have not posted any pictures here for a while I just thought you may like to see this one.
It was done using the plugin and laser into some scrap MDF.

Hi guys,
they are my first tests of my electomagnetic impact engraving.
I have redesigned the solenoid system for to increment feed of execution.
With my electronic I can switch resolution of steps train and I can make small and big photo
I can adjust the power of impact.
With  low resolution can to go to 3000mm/m .
The system is almost ready.
I forgot to thank the forum for the help.
Some tests on granite and alluminium...

Excellent work Pasquale.

What voltage are you using to drive your magnet ??

Hi, Tweakie,
currently the power supply is 48v, but I need to improve
the current control on the solenoid coil.
So  I can to increase the voltage power supply to 90v for greater
impact speed at more of 3000mm/m.
This is very important problem, otherwise make a medium/big photo can to be too long
Thanks .

Can you please clarify how the higher voltage helps in increasing the oscillating speed?

Hi Dan...
increasing the voltage, the solenoid can work at frequency of osillation more high,
than the feed rate can to be more.
This happens because a coil opposes the current
with increasing frequency. The only way is to increase
the supply voltage.
But the current that circolate in the coil must be adjusted fine, otherwise can burning.

Hi,

I think Tweakie has once mentioned this to me. But I still don't understand this, since as we know the current change rate on a coil is described by:

  i(t) = I0-(R/L)t

So only depends on the inductance...?

Hi Pasquale,

I think you are on the right track with the voltage. I am currently using 72Volts but have found that fine control of the pulse timing can also provide an increase in repetition frequency. As long as the voltage is removed just prior to impact the rebound increases the speed of the return stroke.

I am looking forward to hearing more about your developments and progress.

Tweakie.
PEACE

Of course.
It's very important to control the damping of coil ,
but isnt only electronic problem ......we have a mechanism.
Bad problem is resonance frequency of mechanism .
The Zobel network can be help, we have all components....
frequency, inductance and moving mass.

@Dan
no..... depends of many factors, including inductance
