Built-In Driver with Unmatched Performance - The Heart of The Laser Head
Opt Lasers leads in innovation by being the first to integrate a superfast laser diode driver directly into the cutting and engraving laser head. The built-in driver, the heart of the laser head, ensures enhanced protection for the laser diode. As a manufacturer of laser diode drivers, Opt Lasers has leveraged years of experience to create a highly efficient driver with low power consumption and minimal heat production. This makes using the cutting and engraving lasers at high speeds feasible, even for small details or tight radius turns, thanks to the driver's ability to process all necessary signals swiftly. Moreover, with a maximum driver current of 6A, operating it at 3-4A ensures longevity and reliability, providing an offset for extended driver life.

- Typical output current: 3-4 A
- Input voltage 24 V
- Integrated microcontroller for temp. measurement and soft start
- Thermal protection system: 45 °C
- Soft start for diode protection
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
- Reverse voltage protection
- Overcurrent protection
- Compact size and 90% efficiency
- CW Mode and Input Control Mode
- PWM/TTL input
- Status output (5V = OK) input

Amazing
Okay, so I finaly caved and got this laser for my i2r and I love its versatility. I can cut thick plywood and engrave it with high DPI thanks to the little switch on the laser. Genuinely in love.

great support from Jacob
I am very satisfied with my purchase
Great option in 2024
adding the PLH3D-XT8 to my tools has been a great idea for me :)) Now i have to work out how to work with plexi
Precisione senza pari
Da artigiano, la precisione è tutto. Questo laser blu di Opt Lasers ha portato i miei progetti di incisione e taglio a un livello completamente nuovo. La qualità del taglio è eccezionale, con dettagli fini che prima non riuscivo a ottenere. Un vero e proprio cambio di gioco per il mio lavoro.
