Why Our 6 W PLH3D-XT-50 Laser Head is the Ultimate Product for Years?

You don’t need higher laser power for laser engraving wood. PLH3D-XT-50 can effortlessly laser engrave wood while being moved at maximum working speeds of popular CNC machines.. In addition, XT-50 laser engraves with Ultra HD resolution and your eye would not see any difference if the focused beam spot was any smaller. XT-50 laser engraver has a square beam spot profile that can be easily adjustable in size by changing the working distance, which also modifies the resolution obtained.

It uses state-of-the-art optics yielding sharp and evenly-distributed focused beam spot to produce clear engravings. No alternative optical system can compete with the one utilized in the XT-50 engraving laser head. XT-50 laser engraver has the perfect size to cooling optimization ratio and, effectively, your laser diode’s lifetime will not decrease even if you use it 24/7. Furthermore, our XT-50 laser engraving head uses only 30 W of electrical power. You are also assured that the highest quality materials and components are used for its production process, signed with our Opt Lasers brand’s name.

Exceptionally Accurate Metal Engraving

PLH3D-XT-Series engraving laser heads were devised as a series of specialized laser heads for engraving with extremely high resolution and cutting thin materials with ultra-thin lines. Based on our 6W-Series laser heads, XT-Series laser heads inherited all their advantages: versatility, compact dimensions and high-speed driver. The microscopic beam spot allows to make precise and very small size engravings in a wide variety of materials including stainless steel.

High-End Detailed Engraving & Cutting on Soft Materials

PLH3D-XT-50 laser heads, thanks to the fact that they achieve a spot width of less than 50um, also allow cutting materials with care for a thin even cut line. For comparison, a typical human red blood cell is 5-10um in size, and the diameter of a single human hair is 50-20um.

Key Strengths of the XT Series

 

Microscopic & Square Beam Spot

All of the laser heads from PLH3D-XT-Series are distinguished by microscopic and square beam spot. PLH3D-XT-50 laser head is achieving beam spot width below 50um and PLH3D-XT-10 even below 10um. The square spot allows for perfect details when rasterizing graphics, and also ensures consistent thickness of the cutting line, so that even small details are perfectly reproduced according to the design. With the XT-50 you can achieve an ultra HD resolution of over 500 DPI and with XT-10 even 2500 DPI.

High Power Density

As known power density is defined how much power is located in certain area. Typically it is specified in kilo wats over cm2 or mm2 (kW/cm2 or kW/mm2). This parameter is one of the most crucial parameter for cutting or engraving different materials. PLH3D-XT-Series laser heads are designed to achieve small beam-spot size the outcome of this proportional increase of the power density. Higher power density reveals new engraving and cutting possibilities. Additionally, engraving and cutting processes are significantly faster comparing to laser heads without anamorphic optics.

Powered by Blue Laser Diodes

Unlike infrared light, blue light is more easily absorbed by numerous industrial materials. This directly translates to several advantages including reduced power consumption and more compact heat sinking.

Integrated Control Electronics

In many laser heads that have the diode connected to the diode’s driver via a long cable and the coupling is done with connectors. Long wires are characterized by substantial inductive effects. This results in delays of the diode’s response in relation to the diode’s driver and as extension it also results in blurred lines. Connectors are more prone to disconnections than coupling done via direct soldering. Disconnecting during laser processing can damage the laser head.
