Purpose

• Tiny fonts and logos marking on metal materials

• Need more power density to engrave thinner and smaller

Unique Optical Design

• Laser beam firstly expanded by LaserPro Beam Expander Module, and the expanded beam will turn into smaller spot size than usual after passing through focusing lens, thus higher power density.

Please see the illustration at next page.

Unique Optical Design

• Optical Design

Compatible Models

• LaserPro series over 50W models are recommended

• Under 50W might work but not efficient

Limitations

• The reflection from stainless steel might damage laser tube

• The contrast of engraving on stainless steel is not as good as on coated metal

• Due to engraving on stainless steel requires high power thus engraving speed will be slow.
