Downdraft Cutting Table

This accessory provides a raised platform of honeycomb material to support materials for cutting applications. Exhaust smoke and fumes are removed from above and below the material being cut, keeping the material clean and producing better cuts.

Key Benefits
  • Better quality cuts
  • Cleaner work surface

Manual Air Assist

Includes 1.5" and 2.0" Cone. This accessory conveys compressed air to the carriage of the motion system. When used with a Cone or Back Sweep accessory, it directs compressed air onto the surface of the material being laser processed. Air volume is controlled by a manual knob.

Air Assist Cone

Included With Air Assist
Included With Air Assist
The Cone accessory attaches to the carriage for use in air-assisted applications. It directs compressed air along the beam path (coaxially) and onto the material.

Key Benefits
  • Protects optics
  • Best for wood and similar materials

Back Sweep

The Back Sweep accessory attaches to the carriage for use in air assisted applications. It directs compressed air onto the material at an angle to the laser beam.

Key Benefits
  • Protects optics
  • Best for materials which produce a lot of dust

HPDFO™

High Power Density Focusing Optics. These optics focus the laser beam to a much smaller focal spot, producing a sharper, tighter tolerance image. Requires Collimator

Key Benefits
  • Tighter processing tolerances
  • Smaller laser spot size
  • Marks on metals without marking compounds
  • Learn More

Collimator

Standard
Also known as a beam expander, the Collimator expands and collimates the beam to minimize divergence and provide an unchanging focal spot across the engraving field. This results in more consistent cutting and engraving from one corner of the engraving field to the other. Required for HPDFO

Key Benefits
  • More consistent cutting and engraving
  • Required for HPDFO

Rotary Fixture

The Rotary Fixture accessory extends the capabilities of Universal’s laser systems by giving the user the ability to mark or engrave cylindrical objects.

Key Benefits
  • Engrave cylindrical objects
  • Rotates automatically

Compressed Air Source

This accessory provides a clean, water- and oil-free source of optical quality compressed air for use in air-assisted laser processing applications.

Air Dryer - Desiccant Air Kit

N/A
N/A
N/A
The Desiccant Dryer Kit works well in low to medium humidity environments. Though it is less expensive than the refrigerated kit, it uses a consumable desiccant which needs to be replaced frequently. It is not recommended for high humidity environments.

Key Benefits
  • Works well in low to medium humidity environments
  • Inexpensive

Air Dryer - Refrigerated Air Kit

N/A
N/A
N/A
The Refrigerated Dryer Kit consistently works well in high humidity environments. Though the up-front cost is higher than the desiccant dryer kit, the refrigerated dryer kit has no consumables and requires little maintenance.

Key Benefits
  • Best for high humidity environments
  • No consumables

Air Cleaner Cart

N/A
N/A
N/A
This air filtration device removes smoke and fumes when external venting is not possible. The cart is controlled through a USB port and automatically powers on/off when a job is in process.

Filters for Air Cleaner Cart

N/A
N/A
N/A
The exhaust air filtration unit provides exhaust flow to remove the smoke and fumes generated during laser processing. It contains a three-stage filtration system which consists of a pre-filter to remove coarse particulates, a HEPA filter to remove finer particles down to 0.30 microns, and an activated carbon filter to remove fumes and odors. A high-pressure vacuum motor provides air flow.

Key Benefits
  • Three-stage filtration process
  • Required for Air Cleaner Cart

Pass-Through

N/A
N/A
N/A
The patented Pass-Through Class 4 Module allows for switching from CDRH Class 1 to CDRH Class 4 to accommodate oversized work pieces.

Key Benefits
  • Process materials of unlimited length
  • Converts platform to CDRH Class 4
  • Learn More

Pin Table

The Universal Pin Table is designed to eliminate certain scorch marks and other defects which may occur when cutting acrylic, wood or other sensitive materials using conventional laser cutting tables.

SuperSpeed™

N/A
N/A
The patented SuperSpeed accessory works in connection with the Dual Laser Configuration feature to separate the two laser beams and pulse each laser independent of the other.

Key Benefits
  • Significantly faster raster engraving
  • No reduced cutting power
  • Learn More

Dual Head

N/A
N/A
N/A
This accessory can simultaneously engrave or cut two copies of an image or pattern, greatly increasing productivity when an image or cutting pattern needs to be repeated many times. Laser power available for each copy of the image or cut is half the total power available from the laser, so a higher powered laser is recommended for thicker materials.

Key Benefits
  • Produce multiple identical items quickly
  • Increases both engraving and cutting speeds

Automation Interface

This interface makes it possible to integrate a Universal laser system into an automated manufacturing cell.

Key Benefits
  • Allows integration into factory line
  • Accepts standard factory automation signals

Computer-Controlled Air Assist

N/A
N/A
This accessory conveys compressed air to the carriage of the motion system. When used with a Cone or Back Sweep accessory, it directs compressed air onto the surface of the material being laser processed. Air volume is controlled by the Laser Interface+™ print driver and can be automatically adjusted on the fly. Requires Cone or Back Sweep (not included).
