Due to the precise placement of the laser, multiple passes for up to 5 cm thick acrylic are also possible.

The fine cuts and engravings continue to result from the longer and thinner focus length of 50 mm and from the Smart Air Assist function, which blows smoke directly out of the laser beam so that it is not scattered.

Eight safety mechanisms for safe work with the laser

A total of eight different safety features on the Longer Laser B1 30W Laser Engraver ensure that working with the 33-watt to a maximum of 36-watt laser is safe. Not only is there an emergency stop button for aborting a project, but also automatic and sensor-based abort functions. If a flame is detected, for example, there is a warning and the laser is switched off. The same applies to the device overheating. An uneven stand or a wobbling of the device also leads to an indication of a correction.

If no more data is transmitted or the laser stops for another reason, it is also deactivated. This prevents the bundled laser from being concentrated on one point over a long period of time and unintentionally eating through the material or heating it up to the point of fire. It is also possible to monitor the laser output - through a fireproof glass window on the laser module, which is tinted to protect the eyes. Last but not least, a security lock ensures that the laser and material cannot be moved manually during a work process. Of course, operations should always be supervised and safety goggles should be worn.
