FEATURES

• Modern design: small, lightweight and compact laser engraver. Perfect for working anywhere, in a shop or at a fair, in full view of the customer
• Dual laser: diode and infrared in the same head. Selectable in the software, with no need to swap machine parts or use tools
• Versatile: uses 2 different laser technologies, expanding the range of products you can personalise. The diode laser engraves almost all common materials (wood, ceramic, leather, etc.). The infrared (IR) engraves plastic and metals (gold, silver, stainless steel, etc.)
• Portable: engrave on a desktop using the base or without it, placing the machine directly on the product you wish to personalise
• Galvo technology: fixed head, does not move as in other machines. The laser light moves by reflecting in the mirrors inside the head
• Speed and precision: thanks to the galvo system, engraves with great speed and higher quality in every detail. Stamps complex designs in high, almost photographic, resolution
• Intuitive software: simple interface with integrated AI for creating and editing designs with a variety of tools
• Automatic and manual focus: can be adjusted manually by turning the machine’s focus knob. It can also be set automatically by indicating the thickness of the material in the application
• Built-in air system: includes a fan that extracts smoke via an easy-to-install extraction tube (included). The tube should be directed outside
• Laser cutting: can cut certain materials up to 8 mm thick after engraving
• Safe: if the machine is running and the cover is lifted, the laser stops. In addition, the cover blocks harmful laser light and smoke emissions
• Protective cover: complies with Class IV laser safety standards, blocking laser light during operation
• Preview: the design can be displayed on the product before starting the engraving
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi connection for file transfer and remote production monitoring from a computer, tablet or mobile
• CE marking: label certifying that this machine meets all legal requirements for marketing within the European Union

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• The diode laser does not engrave on transparent, translucent or light-coloured materials such as acrylics, glass, etc. For these materials, we recommend using a CO2 laser machine
• Only one laser can be used at a time. The type of laser is selected in the application
• Accessories are not included with the machine. They are purchased separately
• The laser head has a protective cap. Remember to remove it before starting to use the machine and replace it when finished to prevent dirt build-up
• For engraving certain products, the cover must be raised. In Related Products you will find safety glasses for this purpose
• In Related Products you will find spare parts for the machine and the air filter
