Optional Items

Water Chiller
When the laser tube is working, it will produce a large amount of heat.Since the water chiller has the refrigerating capacity and can adjust the temperature intelligently to keep the temperature within a certain range, there by to ensure the stability of laser working.

Rotary Axis

Rotary engraving equipment was used to extending THUNDERLASER system application, as a optional component, It can be used for cutting and engraving round items…

Heat Alarm Detector
A thermal detector is designed for areas where a fire will be more flame and heat than smoke; areas such as laser cutter and engraver, kitchens, garages and workshops. The small thermal heat detector will also have a 10 year, long life battery…

HR laser head

We named Hight-Resolution head as HR head for short,it’s made by special structure for focusing the laser bean into a much smaller dot,thus we can get more tiny laser dots in a unit area,and the engraving result will be more elaborate…

4″ laser head

4″ laser head owns a longer focal distance than 2″ standard head, thus for cutting thick material, it makes the cutting edge more smooth and straight…

Air compressor

The high pressure and low noise air compressor offered by Thunder Laser co2 laser engraving machine includes two parts: the high pressure and low noise air compressor and the water separator…

FAQ

1.Do I have to record all the cutting/engraving parameters for different materials in a paper?

No need. We’ve added a parameter library in the software, once you find out what settings is best for a certain material;you can record it in the parameter library. Next time you cut the same material, you just need to read it from the list.

2.Does your laser run from a laptop or Desktop PC?

Both ok, as long as your operating system is Windows XP/2000/Vista/7/8/10.

3.Does your laser run in Windows XP?

Our laser runs on Windows XP/2000/Vista/7/8/10 both 32bits and 64bits system.

But it does not run on Mac OS.

4.What software is suggested to design my jobs?

CorelDraw and AutoCAD are suggested. You can design all your artworks in these two software and then send to the RDWorks software to set the parameters easily.

5.What files is the software compatible with?

JPG, PNG, BMP, PLT, DST, DXF, CDR, AI, DSB, GIF, MNG, TIF, TGA,PCX, JP2, JPC, PGX, RAS, PNM, SKA, RAW

6.Will it engrave from a jpeg image?

Yes.

7.Can I take a picture and engrave the image on an object without any hassles?

Yes, you can take a photo by using a camera and then load the photo to the software directly and engrave it.

8.Does machine comes ready to work?

the laser machine is ready to work, the exhaust fan and the air pump and the water pump are included. (But when you using a big power laser tube, it is suggested to buy a water chiller for cooling the laser tube)

https://www.thunderlaser.com.au/how-to-use-your-laser-machine/how-to-setup-your-nova-laser-cutter.html

9.How much time do I need to spend on learning how to run the laser machine?

As long as you know how to design jobs in graphic software, it just takes a few hours for you to become a master of laser machine. You just need to do some tests to know what speed and power is good for different materials. Since we’ve provided some of the parameter library, it will save you more time.You can watch the guiding videos from our website to learn how to use the machine in advance too.
