Accessories

There are a number of accessories available to enhance your system. Here is what they do.



Backsweep/Air assist cone

Blows high pressure air at the point of laser interaction with the material to be cut or engraved. High pressure design with user-adjustable pressure regulator can be configured for many applications. Back sweep design reduces flaming and cools material and directs smoke and fumes toward the exhaust, thus keeping engraving and cutting materials cleaner.

Coaxial air assist with optics protection (computer controlled)
Suppresses flaming and assists with optics protection. The Computer Controlled Air Assist is controlled by the print driver and allows up to two air sources or one air and one gas source. One air source is used to protect the moving mirrors and lens.The same air source or another source of air or gas can be forced directly inline with the laser path through a nozzle below the lens to assist in engraving or cutting. Air or gas can be turned on to high or low pressure or off during the job, all controlled by commands from the computer. Directing air onto the optics instead of using gas saves the expense of gas. The computer control only turns on the gas flow when necessary saving the expense of gas that would be wasted in a simple on/off system. Standard air assist is not computer controlled.

Dual head option
The dual head option allows laser processing of two identical jobs at the same time. It does this by splitting the work area into two identical work areas and the beam into two beams. Because splitting the beam reduces each beams power by approximately 50%, it is usually necessary to reduce processing speed.

Focus lens options
For most CO2 applications, the standard or universal 2.0" focal length lens is the best choice. For very specialized applications, lenses are available with either a smaller spot size or are longer to give more clearance between the lens and the work. Installation takes less than ten seconds with no tools required.

HPDFO - High power density focusing optics
The High Power Density Focusing Optics provides extremely detailed engraving or fine cutting. Through advanced optics, the beam size is reduced to 0.025mm giving finer detail and a much more intense laser beam.

Honeycomb cutting table
The cutting table supports materials being laser cut and provides some vacuum hold down. Minimizes burning of the back side of materials being cut all the way through by supporting materials above the reflective work table in the machine. The honeycomb design supports even small cut parts. The cutting table is designed to draw air through it to remove smoke and cutting vapors as they are generated which aids in keeping the cut parts and the machine cleaner. The table has ruler guides similar to the work table it is installed onto to aid in positioning materials.



High torque rotary fixture

The high torque rotary fixture was developed to allow laser processing around cylindrical surfaces. It holds the part between two cones that adapt to a variety of common shapes. It also can accommodate tapered items because it allows raising one end of the fixture. The fixture is computer controlled and can engrave an entire 360 degrees around an object or more if overlap is needed. The fixture can accommodate items up to 203mm in diameter and up to 406mm long. Installation takes less than 30 seconds.
