Yes. XT-50 works with most hobby and pro CNC routers and engravers. The kit includes the PLH3D-CNC Adapter Pro, which accepts common controller outputs (PWM/TTL/Analog up to 24 V) and provides safety interlocks. Mechanical mounting is via the dedicated plate or LaserDock PRO.

XT-50 (6 W) is optimized for ultra-high-detail engraving and precise thin-material cutting. Typical materials: wood, plywood/MDF, leather, textiles, cardboard, rubber, plastics (e.g., ABS, acrylics), laminates/foils, painted or anodized metals. It marks stainless steel and titanium and engraves anodized aluminum.

• Optical power: 6 W (blue, ~450 nm)
• Spot/resolution: ~45–50 µm square spot (> 500 DPI), adjustable with Z
• Supply: 12–24 V DC (via Adapter Pro); max consumption ~30 W
• Size/weight: 40 × 55 × 140 mm; ~0.37 kg

This optical setup yields photo-grade detail, razor-sharp text/barcodes, and very clean micro-features.

XT-50 is ideal for thin, accurate cuts (e.g., veneers, paper, card, thin fabrics, thin balsa/ply). Typical single-pass wood cuts are up to ~3 mm depending on species and air-assist. For thicker stock or production-grade cutting, consider the XT8. Use air-assist for cleaner edges and faster throughput.

Nominal working distance (WD) for XT-50 is 60.0 mm from the head’s front face to the work surface. Use the included Height Reference Tool for quick, repeatable setup: place the tool on material, jog Z until the head touches it lightly, remove the tool, and you’re in focus.

Yes. The XT-series High-Pressure Air-Assist Nozzle improves speed and edge quality and protects optics. Start with ~1–3 l/min for fine engraving and ~10–15 l/min for cutting. Aim the jet slightly ahead of the beam, ~1–3 mm above the surface. Use clean, dry air (filter + oil separator recommended).

Yes. The kit includes the XT-50 head, PLH3D-CNC Adapter Pro, mount, PSU, safety glasses, signal cable, laser head cable, Height Reference Tool, the air-assist nozzle, stickers and screws. Typical first-time installation takes < 1 hour. With LaserDock PRO, daily attach/detach takes seconds.

Use your controller’s laser/spindle output into the Adapter Pro. Supported: PWM 0–5/0–10/0–24 V or Analog 0–5/0–10 V. Recommended PWM base frequency: 5–10 kHz for smooth grayscale. Do not connect both Analog and PWM simultaneously.

Turn the Adapter Pro key switch ON, then press the knob to enter ARMED. For a quick hardware test (no CNC), use TEST MODE to emit a very low duty cycle while holding the knob. Always wear OD7+ goggles and keep the work area ventilated.

Yes. In the Adapter Pro Advanced Settings, set STATUS INPUT to “ignored” for 5-pin heads (the ST pin is unused). This avoids false status readings.

XT-50 includes temperature protection and a fast driver for stable modulation. Use OD7+ goggles (190–540 nm), shielding/interlocks, and keep bystanders protected. The Adapter Pro adds a key lock, ARMED state, status LEDs/OLED, and error-driven disarming.

XT-50 marks stainless steel and titanium and engraves anodized aluminum. For reflective workpieces, tilt the part ~7° so specular reflections can’t return to the diode. Always wear OD7+ glasses.

Inspect the protective window regularly and clean about every ~100 h (or sooner in smoky jobs) using 99.9% IPA and lint-free swabs; avoid generic eyeglass wipes. Keep the air line dry (filter + oil separator); the nozzle keeps smoke away from the window and prolongs intervals between cleanings.

Yes, ensure good ventilation or fume extraction, especially for plastics and resinous woods. Air-assist reduces smoke at the beam, but vapors must still be removed from the workspace. Always follow local safety regulations.

Any G-code workflow with laser-compatible PWM output works (e.g., LightBurn, LaserGRBL, Vectric, Fusion 360 with post). Configure your controller’s laser mode and PWM scale per the head/Adapter manuals.

XT-50 (6 W): photo-grade detail, micro-features, thin cutting, WD ~60 mm.
XT8 (45 W): fast cutting/engraving and thicker materials; different WD. Both use the same Adapter Pro workflow; choose based on whether precision detail (XT-50) or throughput/thickness (XT8) matters more.

The kit includes: XT-50 head, PLH3D-CNC Adapter Pro, mount, PSU, safety glasses, signal/head cables, Height Reference Tool, air-assist nozzle, stickers and screws. Optional but recommended: LaserDock PRO (quick on/off) and a small compressor for air-assist.

Leave a small service loop for Z; route the laser cable in existing chains; tie every 20–30 cm; avoid long parallel runs with spindle/VFD or stepper bundles; cross at 90°. Ensure connectors are fully seated and strain-relieved.

Yes. With LaserDock PRO the laser head docks magnetically in seconds. Keep the spindle powered off/disabled during laser operation and ensure the beam path and air line are clear.

• Adapter Pro key ON, state ARMED, no error on OLED/LEDs
• PWM input shows activity when sending M3 S…
• GND and PWM wired to the right inputs; no 24 V on signal pin
• Laser cable fully seated at both ends; WD set correctly
• Try Adapter’s TEST MODE at very low duty cycle

XT-50 is serviceable; optics and protective windows are replaceable. We provide technical support, manuals, STEP files, and spare parts. Warranty terms depend on region—see the product page or contact us.

• XT-50 head with protective window installed
• PLH3D-CNC Adapter Pro + PSU and AC plug set
• Mounting plate + screws; cables (signal + head)
• Height Reference Tool; Air-Assist Nozzle
• Laser Safety Glasses; stickers; quick guide/manual links

Yes—this is a plug & play kit: mount the plate, connect PWM/GND and power to the Adapter Pro, set WD with the Height Tool, and run the first-light test. Daily use is even faster with LaserDock PRO. No hidden parts required.

You can do either. Hard-mount works great if the laser stays on the machine. LaserDock PRO is recommended if you frequently switch between spindle and laser—it shortens setup to seconds and protects connectors.
