CNC Cutting and Engraving Heads - PLH3D-Series

CNC Engraving Laser Mounted on a CNC machine

The PLH3D laser head series is a new line of CNC engraving & cutting lasers based on a blue laser diodes. They can be mounted on CNC machines and 3D printers. Their design makes them more resistant to physical factors such as shocks and pollution. Each head has a built-in microcontroller and fan. The PLH3D series comprises the following products:

PLH3D-XT8 45W Laser – Features & Performance Demo

PLH3D-XT8 – Key Advantages

Deep focus and an extended beam waist minimize refocusing and enable fast single-pass cuts. A sub-200 µm spot delivers crisp detail while two power modes switch from grayscale engraving to full-power throughput. Integrated air-assist, copper heatpipes and a full-metal body keep performance stable. A fast driver and status LED ensure clean modulation and safe operation.
