Control Mars 130 via network cable & switch

Our workshop computers are all connected to the internet via network cable. We also control our Mars 130 via network cable.

Laser power down after mirror cleaning

Hi Laser Forum, I have a MARS-130 100W purchased from Thunder Laser in October 2015. So far the machine has been great, however after a particularly messy job I decided to remove the mirrors and give them a clean.
