3
Purpose

• Tiny fonts and logos marking on metal materials
• Need more power density to engrave thinner and
  smaller

4
Unique Optical Design

• Laser beam firstly expanded by LaserPro Beam
  Expander Module, and the expanded beam will turn
  into smaller spot size than usual after passing
  through focusing lens, thus higher power density.
• Please see the illustration at next page.

Unique Optical Design

• Optical Design

6
Compatible Models

• LaserPro series over 50W models are recommended
• Under 50W might work but not efficient

7
Limitations

• The reflection from stainless steel might damage
  laser tube
• The contrast of engraving on stainless steel is
  not as good as on coated metal
• Due to engraving on stainless steel requires high
  power thus engraving speed will be slow.
