J Tech discusses choosing the right laser power for various applications like engraving vectors, engraving photos, and cutting materials. They provide four power options: 7W, 14W, 24W, and 44W, and detail their performance. The 44W and 24W models are best for cutting, while 7W+ and 14W PRO SI excel at photo engraving.
There is now a winter artic blast moving across the country and we get asked all the time, “Can I run my laser if it is below freezing in my shop?” The answer is pretty simple and has its origin from physics. If your laser is in your shop and below freezing, DO NOT run […]
These are definitely trying times that we are navigating right now. As of this post, our area is in a “stay at home” order for all non-essential businesses. However, we are currently are getting orders for medical equipment manufacturers to aid in the processing of non-woven fabric (polypropylene) for filtration pads in N95 respirators. Because […]
Hodor Door Stop Project We here at J Tech Photonics are into Game of Thrones, like a couple of other people out there. To celebrate the last episode, we have made some small door stops with HODOR engraved on them. We thought they would make some good presents for our friends who we watch every […]
Our Advice When Setting Up Mach4 with ESS and J Tech Lasers We have been getting requests to make a page on how to set up Mach4 for J Tech Lasers, as it is a bit confusing on the website on how to get the laser set up. So, we have answered the call and […]
Glass Etching with J Tech Laser A customer of ours, Ryan Cook of Maplehurst Ave LLC (maplehurstave.com), has done a great post awhile back on the Inventables forum on how to etch glass with a J Tech laser. We have gotten a lot of questions about this, so we asked Ryan if we could share […]
There are a lot of applications in which the ability to mark metal would be of use. We get a lot of questions about this every day. Unfortunately our lasers right now do not have enough power to directly engrave on metal (you need a really big CO2 laser or a pulsed laser like a […]
Over the past year we at J Tech Photonics have just loved having a 3D printer. I helps out for rapid prototyping of products and allows our engineers to create quick custom designed solutions for our customers. We have even upgraded it to be a Laser Cutter as well! Over the last year the machine has produced […]
High Current Laser Diode Driver Boards We are excited to announce the release of the series of high current laser diode driver boards by J Tech Photonics. Our engineers have been working on providing the best driver solution with the most features for a very reasonable price for OEM solutions and have come up with […]
