Features & Benefits of the PLH3D-6W-XF+ Cutting and Engraving Laser Head In Details

Cutting and Engraving - PLH3D-6W-XF+ blue laser allows to cut and engrave various materials such as wood, cardboard, rubber, paper, textiles, leather, plastic, balsa, plywood, and many others, as well as mark stainless steel, titanium and low heat conductance subtypes of steel.

Cutting and Engraving with XF+

Improved Safety - The cutting and engraving laser head is equipped with an “Armed” indication LED, signaling its connection to the power supply and providing alerts for overheating. Additionally, ambient temperature warnings ensure safe operation.

Improved Safety LED

Factory Set Lens - each laser head is shipped with a High-Resolution Triplet lens adjusted to focus at 60.0 mm. This distance is the best-optimized focus distance to start with.

Factory Set Lens in XF+

Easy Lens Adjustment: The working (focus) distance can be quickly set or changed with the included lens adjuster, compatible with all M9x0.5 lenses. For certain applications, adjusting the beam for symmetrical engraving is recommended.

Easy Lens Adjustment in XF+

Built-in Driver: A short connection between the laser diode and a driver ensures better protection for a diode, possibility of high-frequency current modulation as well as eliminates inductance effects during the switch-on.

Built-in Driver in XF+

No Additional Cooling Required: This lightweight laser requires no additional cooling. The XF+ laser's body acts as a heatsink, allowing it to work constantly for 24 hours, every day.

The Best CNC Laser Upgrade out there.

I have had this laser add-on for the X-Carve on my machine for just over a year and I absolutely love it. The build quality is amazing. All of the parts are polished aluminum and they have a very professional look and feel to them. The magnetic docking station is a huge plus for this device. It allows you to just pull the laser head off of the machine when you want to use the CNC router. This prevents dust and vibration from reaching the laser head. Installation was easy and this thing just works! I have had no issues with it at all. As of the time of this review, I have engraved mostly onto wood but have also done some cutting of cardboard, leather and thin wood.
I published a YouTube video of the installation here: https://youtu.be/6VmWmFUXbRc
Take a look around the channel, there are a couple more videos of this laser in action. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

This kit by Opt Lasers is hands down in a league of their own. The manufacturers give you more than what is required to get the job done. They go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service during the purchasing process. I also love the fact that I am able to change lenses which they provided two in my kit. I am going to be purchasing their U Spot lens soon. One additional mention is the ability to add air assist to the laser which other well know lasers can not do. I love my opt lasers kit and will be getting more from them in the future for another X-Carve or any other machines I may obtain.
