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.

No, our laser machine can do both cutting and engraving very well.

You just need one machine for both kinds of jobs.

yes, every machine will wear. However, you don’t have to worry about that. The machine will be working normally at least 2-5 years.

After that, you may need to change the parts. And all the parts can be replaced. We will charge at a fair price.

bigger watt tube will cut thicker materials, however, bigger watt has bigger laser beam, therefore, for engraving, it’s better to use

small watt like 50watt or 60watt. For the price, please see pricelist.

Yes, we have higher power 100watt/130watt/150watt for your choice.

the standard model is 10CM diameter, for the detail, please check our website:

http://www.thunderlaser.com/features/rotary-axis-2.html

The standard focus lens is 2”; there is 4″ for your choice.

Shorter focus lens will have smaller final beam diameter. That’s why it is better for engraving good quality photos.

And longer focus lens is better for cutting thicker materials.

For a laser with less than 80W and clean engraving jobs I would recommend the Silicon-Mirrors because they have the best

reflectivity (>99%).

For a laser who is doing very dirty work (cutting wood 8 hours a day) or working with aggressive chemicals I would recommend the

Molybdenum-Mirror. The reflection coating (there is no coating, the Molybdenum is just polished) is very resistant and can get cleaned

very easily. Even if the reflectivity is only at 98.5%, the Mo-Mirror is almost unbreakable.

There are open cover protection (laser will stop working if someone open the cover/flap of the laser), water protection (laser will stop

working if the cooling system has problem) in the machine. And air assistant is included too.

There’s an exhaust fan comes with the machine.

For the lite models, there’s no red dot pointer. And for the standard models, all has red dot pointer.

The normal color of the laser beam is purple while working. When a tube is dying, the color will become white.

Usually, the power of the tube is decided by two parameters:

1. The length of the tube, the longer the tube is the more powerful.

2. The diameter of the tube, the bigger the tube is the more powerful.

A 60watt power supply can use max power of a 60watt tube. If only upgrade the power supply to 80watt and do not upgrade the laser tube, there will be very little difference.

And on the other hand, if you use a 60watt power supply to driver an 80watt tube, that’s also not recommended.

No need.

There are two ways to adjust the focus.

1) You can adjust the laser head manually

http://www.thunderlaser.com/how-to-use-your-laser-machine/how-to-manual-adjust-focus-distance.html

2) Use a motorized up/down table (auto focus)

http://www.thunderlaser.com/features/auto-focus-for-nova-system.html

Yes, the co2 tube is controlled by the power supply. And the power supply is controlled by the controller. And you can set the power

rating easily in the software.

High resolution Attachment will make the laser dot smaller, thus you can have much better engraving quality.it is used to engrave

extremely high quality photos. For detail, please see

http://www.thunderlaser.com/features/high-resolution-laser-head.html

For the engraving distance,

With standard 2″ laser head, the distance between laser head and material is 5mm-6.5mm.

If cutting thick material and 6mm distance does not give a good result, you can try adjusting the distance down to about 5mm. For

details, please contact with our tech person.

For cutting some thick materials, it is correct.

But when engraving on some materials, it’s better to use less powerful air pressure.

The different type of chiller is used for different model of machines.

For detail, you can read from this link:http://www.thunderlaser.com/features/water-cooling-system.html

The normal life tube of a laser tube is about 2500-4000 hours according to how you use it.

Yes, footstand of desktop laser machine is an option. We will take it apart for shipping and you can set it up with screw later on.

The standard size of the Mini 60 is 1070x770x510mm,

it is usually suggested to leave about 200mm for the backside to install the exhaust pipe.

For the other sides, need about 100mm for each,but when you need to replace the parts for the

machine, you will need to move it out to a wider place.

The USB connection is on the right side of the machine, please have a look at the pic.

Yes, we have pass-through door design for our machine:

http://www.thunderlaser.com/video/laser-machine/pass-through-door-design.html

You have to replace a new laser tube when it’s no longer working.

Co2 glass tube is not able to recharge CO2 air at present.

Usually we will pack it well and it’s seldom out of alignment,

Once it happens, we have video and lesson to guiding you how to align the laser beam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw8Ro2vEEzY

If the beam is a small round dot, then it is perfect,

but in fact, most of the beam are close to round dot.

If you just realign the parts without reading our technical lesson or guiding video,

https://youtu.be/pw8Ro2vEEzY

It’s unsafe indeed even you wear laser safety glasses,

However, if you realign them by following our lesson and video step by step,

It’s not so dangerous,

And to make it safer, you can wear a pair of laser safety glasses,

Please note the most important thing is: familiar with the process of lesson and video.

No unsafe materials, and yes, they can be disposed of safety.

According to our customers’ feedback, life for the belts should be at least 3-5year.

When you find it is loose, you can adjust it by reading our user manual and watch guiding video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izI9HMzA0ds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRpCJAmwRw8

Yes, machine will get dirty after using for a period time,

Then you should clean and maintain it frequently.

For how to clean the machine and make maintenance,

Please read our user manual from page 47-56.

For cutting thick material (usually more than 10mm),

4″ lens is good for getting a more straight/smooth edge, but it does not mean you can cut more depth.

http://www.thunderlaser.com/features/4-laser-head.html

For exhausting the air outside,

standard length for the hoses is about 6m

is it ok for you?

if not, can you please tell me how long do you need?

I think we can offer special hoses to you,

for outputting the air,

it’s depend on your material,

if you use the laser for cutting wood/acrylic/leather/fabric, etc.,

it’s ok, no dangerous, but some or less smell I think.

and material like PVC/Vinyl contains chlorine are not suggested to cut with laser.

(its fume dangerous for human health and will corrode the machine.)

The table of the lite version is a fixed honeycomb table,

you can not adjust up/down by manual.

please check attachment pictures there’s no lead screws (Z-axis) for LITE version machine,

you can only adjust the focus distance by manual.
