How it Operates:

CO2 lasers operate on the principle of stimulated emission of radiation. Electricity excites the CO2 gas mixture, prompting the emission of a laser beam. The beam is then directed through mirrors and lenses to focus it into a high-intensity, small spot.

Our Machines:

The Universal Laser Systems PLS6.75 is a free-standing platform with a material processing envelope of 32" x 18".  The single laser platform supports one 75 Watt CO2 laser which can cut through material with a max thickness of ¼" (6.35mm).

Materials We Cut:

• Paper: Ideal for intricate paper designs.
• Wood: Used for assembling three dimensional planar models and structures.
• Acrylic: Commonly employed in signs & displays..
• Fabric: Suited for precision cutting of textiles.
• [Explore our list of approved and banned materials .]

Applications:

• Common applications include signage, 3D prototyping, architectural models, jewelry making, & textile cutting.

Safety Considerations:

• Safety precautions are crucial during CO2 laser operation. Adequate ventilation is necessary to eliminate cutting process fumes.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser cutting area, as eye injuries can result from direct or reflected laser beams.

Reflective Surfaces:

• Caution must be taken regarding reflective surfaces, as laser beams bouncing off them can pose hazards.
• Ensure the work area is free of reflective materials to prevent redirecting the laser towards the eyes.
• Reflective materials can damage laser optics and cause machine fires.
