Description
All the choices to add a laser to your Openbuilds CNC in one place. This kit works with the standard openbuilds spindle mount sold in their machine kits. Works with popular machine like Lead 1010, WorkBee, and C-Beam. The laser cables support up to a 40″ x 40″ machine size. If you need bigger, let us know.
1. Pick your Laser Wattage:
There are 5 wattage levels to choose from ( 7W+, Dual PRO 14W SI, 24W Quad PRO , 44W OCTO PRO or the new 64W PRO 3-in-1). Most customers go with the highest power they can afford. The lower power has a lower price, but will take longer to do the same burn level in an engraving. The 7W+ laser is made for engraving fine detail, the Dual Pro 14W SI laser will be for faster engraving. The 24W Quad Pro and 44W Octo Pro will be good for cutting and engraving and the 64W PRO will be the best for cutting and fastest at engraving.

Features:
We still have all of the features that make this laser kit awesome – precision laser trimmed regulators for constant current to the laser, 0.01 tuning resolution, digital isolation, soft start, esd protection, current limiting, and the list goes on. But NOW we have more safety in mind as well! The US Federal Government has a list of things that are required for operating these high power class 4 lasers. They might seem trivial, but they could save your eyesight! Here is a run down of the new safety features to protect yourself and others:
- Key Switch – This key is needed to enable the laser. When the key switch is turned on, the laser is enabled and the key CANNOT come out. You can only remove the key when it is disabled. This feature is good if you have curious children or have your laser in a shared area and want to limit use. Just take the key out and hide it!
- Remote Interlocks – This feature allows for addition of switches to your enclosure so when it is open, the laser will automatically turn off. Also provides for the addition of an E Stop button for the laser, which is always good for if you need to stop the laser super quick! Add as many switches as you want to make a super safe area for your laser machine so nobody can accidentally look into the laser.
- Power Fault Protection – This one may seem like it is not needed, but hear us out. Consider your power goes out in your area where the laser is located. You were running your program and then everything is dark… Power doesn’t come back on for awhile… long enough for you to forget that the laser was left ON! You come back and are checking your laser and boom, the power is back on, right when you are looking straight at it. Well, don’t worry because the laser will be disabled whenever the power to the driver is lost. Press the reset button and you are back in action!
- Emission Indicator – The small little LED on the front to let you know your really super bright laser is on… They require this in case you are using an infrared invisible laser.
