Product Description
About the PLH3D-6W LaserDock Magnetic Docking Station
- Protects the laser head from contamination, which can affect its lifetime
- Facilitates quick removal when different tools are used on the same machine
- Neodymium magnetic inserts ensure easy mounting as well as stable and repeatable alignment
- Utilizes secure 3-point suspension in between male and female parts of the docking station to uniformly distribute axial forces and minimize the planar distortion of the laser head
- Enables electronic connection via 5 gold plated contacts
This product allows the laser head to be protected from contamination from dust or metal particles, as well as oils. These can accumulate on the lens surface, fan motor, air channels, as well as the body of the unit, even if the laser head is turned off. The presence of such contaminants can require maintenance or shorten the lifetime of the module. The docking station solves this problem and allows the laser head to be put aside while not in use.
A machined Aluminium cover with magnetic inserts is additionally included to allow the docking station to be kept clean at the electronic contacts and mechanical surfaces that interface with the laser head. A small amount of compressed air or a brush may be used to remove any dust before connecting the laser head to the docking station.
The laser docking station is shipped with 120mm long cable with attached 5-pin terminals on both ends. The cable is meant to be connected between PLH3D-6W-Series engraving laser head and LaserDock Magnetic Docking Station.
This unit ships with the necessary mounting screws (2x each of M3 x 10, M3 x 14, and M4 x 10) for connecting to the laser head. Assembly takes a few minutes.

Great for CNC
I built a mount for this dock on the side of my XCarve spindle mount. Once the dock was mounted, I was able to easily swap from spindle to laser in mere seconds. The kit even comes with a magnetic dust cover to ensure debris is not introduced to the electronic connections on the dock. I've used this docking station for 2 years and many hours without any issues with the magnets, electronic connections, or product as a whole. Excellent customer service and amazing products.
Magnetic laser mount is great
I really like this mount. I can keep the laser in a zippered bag until I need it. The cover protects the contacts until I need to attach the laser. No problems with it falling off.
Great product
The 2 parts align perfectly for good repeated results. Easy to install.
Laser Docking Mount
This is a great product that allows for easy interchange of the laser head with any other equipment that may share your CNC machine.
Smart design
I cannot stop thinking that the quality of these products is outstanding. They are very well designed, almost plug and play (in the context). Fantastic
