CO2 engraving / cutting plotter laser Industry Range

Marking or engraving with a CO2 laser is linked to  the energy applied on  the material (power). Depending on this energy , the laser will more or less  penetrate into the material (NB: except for some  materials, see corresponding list).

Laser marking has the advantage of being unalterable, economical (no tool wear),  environmentally friendly (no ink or chemicals) and fast to produce.

Standard warranty is 2 years for machine and 1 year for laser tube, with possible paying extension to 5 years both for machine and tube.

    - All cutable materials: rubber, polyester, polystyrene, wood, medium, pmma,….

    - Stone, Marble, Slate, ...

    - Glass, ceramic

    - food: chocolate, sugared almonds, ...

    - Cutting  mode can be used on metals to mark them

    - Caution : do not try to engrave / mark polished (and therefore reflective) metal elements

Laser systems from LTT are equipped with a new range of CO2 laser sources, manufactured by Iradion Laser Inc US company.

The innovative and patented concept of this laser source is synonymous with reliability, engraving quality and durabilty: unique in the industry, the resonator body, in which laser radiation is generated, is 100% made of ceramic.

=> Perfect body
Usually, sources used to generate laser are entirely made of metal and sometimes glass.
Iradion technology completely redefines the basis of  laser source.
The ceramic design offers considerable advantages over metal or glass: there is no welding or joint that may create a leak of CO2 gas over time. When manufactured, the two ceramic half shells are fused together to form the resonator which is fired at 800 °, the combustion process effectively cleaning the interior surface.

=> pure gas composition :
All optical elements are then bonded to the ceramic.
Electrodes are mounted on the outside of the resonator and  gas is excited through the ceramic body: there is therefore no metallic surface inside the resonator that could alter the the gas mixture balance.
Consequently, a pure gas composition is obtained over time, securing a longer lifetime of the laser source.


=> Faster pulse speed for superior engraving results.
Ceramic laser sources can be used at much higher pressures, resulting from the rapidity of  pulse speed.
Essential for high speed engraving and marking applications, users can benefit from superior engraving quality.

In addition,  innovative electronics architecture just requires a low energy consumption. Comparative tests show a reduction of up to 30%.

To cut materials, laser machine emit a laser beam  raising the temperature until vaporization of a reduced area of material.

Some material cannot be cut as they can melt, emit dangerous gases or require higher power than available.

Materials that can be cut are
 
   - Abs
   - Acrylic: Pmma, Plexiglas, Polymethylmethacrylate
   - Rubber
   - Wood
   - Raw wood (thin thicknesses)
   - MDF / Medium (avoid thicknesses> 6mm which produce very burnt finish and emit a lot of smoke) -

      Do not use MDF tinted in the mass
    - Plywood
    - Polyamide / PA / Nylon
    - Polybutylene terephthakate (PTB)
    - Polyoxymethylene / POM / Delrin
    - Polyester / PES / Thermolite / Polarguard
    - Polyethylene terephthalate / PET / Mylar
    - Polyimide / PI / Kapton
    - Polystyrene / PS
    - Polypropylene / PP
    - Rhodoïd / Transparent for overhead projector
    - Foam without PVC
    - Polyester / PES
    - Polyethylene / PE
    - Polyurethane / PUR
    - Neoprene – easily flamable
    - Fabrics (felt, hemp, cotton, acrylic, nylon)
    - Leather
    - Paper
    - Cardboard, wooden cardboard
    - Feather cardboard (cardboard + PU foam)

    - FFFoam cardboard (cardboard + expanded polystyrene) cuts much less
    - FNatural, synthetic rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine)   Warning :  generates a lot of soot and enormously fouls  machines
 

Materials that cannot be cut are

    - Reflective materials: mirrors, chrome objects, polished metals, ...  The use of reflective materials can seriously damage the machine (Mirrors can be engraved only with reflective side facing the machine table)
    - Most metals, however, cutting mode can be used for marking some
    - Fiberglass
    - Printed circuit board (Fiberglass + epoxy)
    - Carbon fiber
    - All materials containing chlorine, PVC, vinyl,   Use prohibited, risk of deadly chlorine gas emission
    -  All materials containing fluorine: Teflon / Polytetrafluoroethylene / PTFE…   Use prohibited, risk of emission of fluorine in the form of gas
    - Glass
    - Medium valcromat tinted in the mass – flamable
    - Polycarbonate / PC / Lexan / Makrolon: melts and burns
    - Expanded / extruded polystyrene (foam): melts and burns
    - Compound and / or non-homogeneous materials are generally difficult to cleanly cut with a laser.

Our lasers are safe for the operator.

There are several laser classes

- class 1: Lasers that are safe when used, even for direct vision  of the beam over a long period and even when using telescopic optical devices.
- class 2: Lasers emitting from 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength visible radiation, harmless for temporary exposures (0.25 s), but  harmful in case deliberate vision of the beam.
- class 3: Lasers emitting radiation which may exceed the EMP in case of direct vision of the beam, but with relatively low risk of injury in most cases. We do not have this type of laser.
- class 4: Lasers for which  vision in the beam and skin exposure  are dangerous.Also, vision of diffuse reflections can be dangerous. A fire hazard is also often present with this kind of laser. They require wearing protective glasses.

Our lasers belong to the  2nd class as they are equipped as standard with a red dot pointer allowing to simulate work or start it at a determined place. The red dot pointer power being very low (less than one mw), it is not dangerous.

All our machines comply with CE standards and meet requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC.

They are supplied  with:
- a key switch to start the tube
- door safety systems  immediatly stopping laser emission in case the laser compartment is opened.
- an easily accessible emergency stop button.
- a special safety window for absorption of the laser beam.

No, a laser is very easy to use and very intuitive.
Operator needs to create artwork  on any graphics software (Coreldraw, Illustrator, Inskape, Autocad, Solidworks, ...), applying 2 main parameters to each color :  laser speed and power according to expected result (material engraving ,half or complete cutting).

Then, the file is sent to laser.
It's as simple as that ! In a few minutes you can be up and running.

Note:  speed and power parameters are linked to processed material. A parameter base is provided for a wide variety of materials to  help you.
All of our lasers are delivered with  on-site installation and training for efficient machine operation and maintenance

First point to take into account is the required engraving / cutting surface. Our range starts from 450 x 300 mm lasers up to 1600 x 1000 mm. Depending on material to be processed  in the machine, proper size must be chosen.

It is important to note that most of our machines have front / back openable doors. When opening front and back doors,  there is no length limit, but just the machine width limit . For instance, with 1000 x 600 mm  I 4000 model, it is possible  to engrave / cut plates of 1000 mm x infinity.

Second point  is the laser tube power, available from 30 w to 150 w.

For engraving applications, a low power tube (30 or 40 W) will produce results similar to a higher power one on most materials. Higher power will just improve engraving time of some materials such as rubber for  stamps, 2-layer materials ...

In cutting applications, higher powers will produce deeper, faster and smoother (clean) results. Depending  on  processed  thickness, we can advise the best power.

In engraving areas,  drawing  is horizontally scanned and  laser turns on / off  depending on the presence of a pattern. Graphics is generally a bitmap, an image, a logo, a text ...

For cutting areas, pattern is a vector graphic (lines and curves). Laser will move and follow  the drawing shape, continuously emitting. If energy (power) is sufficient, part will be cut.
All our laser machines can  both engrave and cut.  Distinction is made according to speed and power assigned to the pattern

Standard warranty is 2 years for machine and 1 year for laser tube, with possible paying extension to 5 years both for machine and tube.

No, a laser is very easy to use and very intuitive.
Operator needs to create artwork  on any graphics software (Coreldraw, Illustrator, Inskape, Autocad, Solidworks, ...), applying 2 main parameters to each color :  laser speed and power according to expected result (material engraving ,half or complete cutting).

Then, the file is sent to laser.
It's as simple as that ! In a few minutes you can be up and running.

Note:  speed and power parameters are linked to processed material. A parameter base is provided for a wide variety of materials to  help you.
All of our lasers are delivered with  on-site installation and training for efficient machine operation and maintenance

First point to take into account is the required engraving / cutting surface. Our range starts from 450 x 300 mm lasers up to 1600 x 1000 mm. Depending on material to be processed  in the machine, proper size must be chosen.

It is important to note that most of our machines have front / back openable doors. When opening front and back doors,  there is no length limit, but just the machine width limit . For instance, with 1000 x 600 mm  I 4000 model, it is possible  to engrave / cut plates of 1000 mm x infinity.

Second point  is the laser tube power, available from 30 w to 150 w.

For engraving applications, a low power tube (30 or 40 W) will produce results similar to a higher power one on most materials. Higher power will just improve engraving time of some materials such as rubber for  stamps, 2-layer materials ...

In cutting applications, higher powers will produce deeper, faster and smoother (clean) results. Depending  on  processed  thickness, we can advise the best power.

In engraving areas,  drawing  is horizontally scanned and  laser turns on / off  depending on the presence of a pattern. Graphics is generally a bitmap, an image, a logo, a text ...

For cutting areas, pattern is a vector graphic (lines and curves). Laser will move and follow  the drawing shape, continuously emitting. If energy (power) is sufficient, part will be cut.
All our laser machines can  both engrave and cut.  Distinction is made according to speed and power assigned to the pattern

Standard warranty is 2 years for machine and 1 year for laser tube, with possible paying extension to 5 years both for machine and tube.

Laser systems from LTT are equipped with a new range of CO2 laser sources, manufactured by Iradion Laser Inc US company.

The innovative and patented concept of this laser source is synonymous with reliability, engraving quality and durabilty: unique in the industry, the resonator body, in which laser radiation is generated, is 100% made of ceramic.

=> Perfect body
Usually, sources used to generate laser are entirely made of metal and sometimes glass.
Iradion technology completely redefines the basis of  laser source.
The ceramic design offers considerable advantages over metal or glass: there is no welding or joint that may create a leak of CO2 gas over time. When manufactured, the two ceramic half shells are fused together to form the resonator which is fired at 800 °, the combustion process effectively cleaning the interior surface.

=> pure gas composition :
All optical elements are then bonded to the ceramic.
Electrodes are mounted on the outside of the resonator and  gas is excited through the ceramic body: there is therefore no metallic surface inside the resonator that could alter the the gas mixture balance.
Consequently, a pure gas composition is obtained over time, securing a longer lifetime of the laser source.


=> Faster pulse speed for superior engraving results.
Ceramic laser sources can be used at much higher pressures, resulting from the rapidity of  pulse speed.
Essential for high speed engraving and marking applications, users can benefit from superior engraving quality.

In addition,  innovative electronics architecture just requires a low energy consumption. Comparative tests show a reduction of up to 30%.

Marking or engraving with a CO2 laser is linked to  the energy applied on  the material (power). Depending on this energy , the laser will more or less  penetrate into the material (NB: except for some  materials, see corresponding list).

Laser marking has the advantage of being unalterable, economical (no tool wear),  environmentally friendly (no ink or chemicals) and fast to produce.

    - All cutable materials: rubber, polyester, polystyrene, wood, medium, pmma,….

    - Stone, Marble, Slate, ...

    - Glass, ceramic

    - food: chocolate, sugared almonds, ...

    - Metals: Lacquered, Aluminum, Steel, Bras

    - Cutting  mode can be used on metals to mark them

    - Caution : do not try to engrave / mark polished (and therefore reflective) metal elements

To cut materials, laser machine emit a laser beam  raising the temperature until vaporization of a reduced area of material.

Some material cannot be cut as they can melt, emit dangerous gases or require higher power than available.

Materials that can be cut are
 
   - Abs
   - Acrylic: Pmma, Plexiglas, Polymethylmethacrylate
   - Rubber
   - Wood
   - Raw wood (thin thicknesses)
   - MDF / Medium (avoid thicknesses> 6mm which produce very burnt finish and emit a lot of smoke) -

      Do not use MDF tinted in the mass
    - Plywood
    - Polyamide / PA / Nylon
    - Polybutylene terephthakate (PTB)
    - Polyoxymethylene / POM / Delrin
    - Polyester / PES / Thermolite / Polarguard
    - Polyethylene terephthalate / PET / Mylar
    - Polyimide / PI / Kapton
    - Polystyrene / PS
    - Polypropylene / PP
    - Rhodoïd / Transparent for overhead projector
    - Foam without PVC
    - Polyester / PES
    - Polyethylene / PE
    - Polyurethane / PUR
    - Neoprene – easily flamable
    - Fabrics (felt, hemp, cotton, acrylic, nylon)
    - Leather
    - Paper
    - Cardboard, wooden cardboard
    - Feather cardboard (cardboard + PU foam)

    - FFFoam cardboard (cardboard + expanded polystyrene) cuts much less
    - FNatural, synthetic rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine)   Warning :  generates a lot of soot and enormously fouls  machines
 

Materials that cannot be cut are

    - Reflective materials: mirrors, chrome objects, polished metals, ...  The use of reflective materials can seriously damage the machine (Mirrors can be engraved only with reflective side facing the machine table)
    - Most metals, however, cutting mode can be used for marking some
    - Fiberglass
    - Printed circuit board (Fiberglass + epoxy)
    - Carbon fiber
    - All materials containing chlorine, PVC, vinyl,   Use prohibited, risk of deadly chlorine gas emission
    -  All materials containing fluorine: Teflon / Polytetrafluoroethylene / PTFE…   Use prohibited, risk of emission of fluorine in the form of gas
    - Glass
    - Medium valcromat tinted in the mass – flamable
    - Polycarbonate / PC / Lexan / Makrolon: melts and burns
    - Expanded / extruded polystyrene (foam): melts and burns
    - Compound and / or non-homogeneous materials are generally difficult to cleanly cut with a laser.

Our lasers are safe for the operator.

There are several laser classes

- class 1: Lasers that are safe when used, even for direct vision  of the beam over a long period and even when using telescopic optical devices.
- class 2: Lasers emitting from 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength visible radiation, harmless for temporary exposures (0.25 s), but  harmful in case deliberate vision of the beam.
- class 3: Lasers emitting radiation which may exceed the EMP in case of direct vision of the beam, but with relatively low risk of injury in most cases. We do not have this type of laser.
- class 4: Lasers for which  vision in the beam and skin exposure  are dangerous.Also, vision of diffuse reflections can be dangerous. A fire hazard is also often present with this kind of laser. They require wearing protective glasses.

Our lasers belong to the  2nd class as they are equipped as standard with a red dot pointer allowing to simulate work or start it at a determined place. The red dot pointer power being very low (less than one mw), it is not dangerous.

All our machines comply with CE standards and meet requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC.

They are supplied  with:
- a key switch to start the tube
- door safety systems  immediatly stopping laser emission in case the laser compartment is opened.
- an easily accessible emergency stop button.
- a special safety window for absorption of the laser beam.
