Lessons learned from LaserMATIC10 Mk1
In servicing our customers, we've learned exactly where the Mk1 machine needed to be improved, and we've taken those lessons and applied them to the Mk2 machines.
Larger work area
XW features 200mm wider work area compared to the regular-sized Mk2. Workspace measures 24''x15.3'' (610x390mm), which translates to 49% more space!
Anything else that's different between the Mk2 and Mk2 XW?
Yes, there are few notable differences:
• The Mk2 XW camera uses a wider-angle lens to cover the entire width of the honeycomb panel, with slightly higher distortion;
• Larger and more powerful Y-axis stepper motor on the XW, to move the heavier gantry. Y-axis max feed rate has also been reduced to 13500mm/min;
• Added center support post for the larger honeycomb panel.
Get projects done faster
Get through orders faster with improved optical power. 20W module offers 50% uplift in cutting speeds compared to the original LaserMATIC10 Mk1, while the 30W modules cuts at twice the Mk1's speed.
Best of both worlds
Our higher-powered modules feature a 10W engraving mode. Only two diodes are engaged in this mode, which reduces focus spot size and improves engraving details.
In this engraving mode, the 20W module approaches a typical 10W module in terms of detail, while burning much darker. The 30W also engraves much better than a typical 30W module without a dedicated engraving mode.
Chuck rotary
LaserMATIC Mk2 comes with an optional chuck rotary. Designed to fit inside the enclosure, it opens up more engraving options and improves repeatability by eliminating slippage that's common to roller rotaries.
Integrated air assist
New air asssist directly plugs into the machine and can be controlled by LightBurn.
Robust cables
Reinforced drag chain cables are designed to withstand 8 million cycles of bending, making cable failures due to fatigue much less likely.
Easy-to-clean module
Cleaning the laser lens is now much easier, with the bottom acrylic shroud and air assist nozzle coming off as one piece, now with screws that don't strip.
