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.
