10W Optical Laser Module

I bought this laser to upgrade my Nasum A5 Pro, whose puny 5W laser required two passes to cut 3mm basswood. The box contains the laser unit itself, a sliding mounting plate in two parts (one attaches to the carriage, the other to the laser head, a few screws with matching hex wrenches, a power adapter board with cable, a few acrylic focus spacers, and a replacement lens. Attaching the mounting plate to the Nasum carriage would not have been possible without reusing two screws from the previous mounting plate; as it is I could have used two more. I would have appreciated finding the corresponding screws in the box. Two thumbscrews secure the laser plate to the carriage holder and allow for easy focus adjustment, this is very handy. There are two versions of the laser head on this page, 12V and 24V. They look identical, apparently the 24V version see a lot of returns, probably because most controllers on inexpensive engraving tables feed 12V to the laser head. The included voltage adapter can be used to convert 12V into 24 or vice versa if needed, of course at the expense of another board and more wires -- so make sure you check the voltage and pinout on your controller before ordering. The Nasum A5 Pro uses the same connector and 12V, so it was an easy replacement and I don't need to use the adapter board (I could have done with a cheaper version WITHOUT the board, and maybe with a couple more screws instead!) The hose of my air assist pump connected easily to to the brass nozzle and it works great. Finally, the optical protection attaches magnetically to the bottom of the unit. Overall, install took roughly 15 minutes, easy peasy. I ran a few tests and it essentially cuts twice as fast as the original 5W laser: card stock cuts at 2000mm/minute at 50% (instead of 1000mm/m at 50% with the 5W) and the edges are perfect; basswood cuts in a single pass at 200mm/m at 100% instead of requiring two passes at the same speed with the 5W. So, a very worthy upgrade I'm very pleased with.

This doubled the laser power of my AtomStack A5 Pro. Lasertree provided instructions for installation and use. They also provided focusing shims in 3, 4 and 5 mm so the laser can be focused based on material thickness and operation (cut vs engrave). The installation was a breeze, though I did have to remove my z axis adjuster. Everything else was a straight bolt-up. I did place the driver board atop the x axis carriage using double sided foam tape,

Excellent. It drives a real 10W optical power.

First off, I'll say this has been an incredible upgrade from my old 5.5w diode. It's easily 4x faster than before as well as being able to actually cut through 3mm wood in one pass. That being said... be careful not too long away for long if you're using the magnetic eye shield. I did, and almost paid big time even sitting 5 feet away. A piece that cut out was sticking up and caught the eye shield, partially knocking it off. It somehow wedged between the laser module and the work piece. I noticed a burning smell and looked over to see a nice little fire going. The eye shield was destroyed along with the work piece, thankfully that was all. That said, I definitely recommend this for your next upgrade. Just be safe, and aware.

10W output Laser works great

Got here fast. Is exactly as described.

Lástima que no era igual al de mi máquina

One year on (hobbyist use); still works just fine.

I was nervous buying this but I really wanted to upgrade my 5W laser engraver. The price point was great and it was an easy plug and play replacement. I only have 2 criticisms of it, 1) there were absolutely no instructions in the box, but wasn’t too hard to figure it out. And 2) now I have to relearn all of the setting to use for engraving and cutting! lol. Very happy with the purchase so far and can’t wait to put it to work.

Exatamente como descrito.

Buena calidad precio

Très puissant. Facile à installer.

description ight have been updated since my purchase, but this is not a direct plugin for a d1 pro. Can't tell how good the laser is as it's been returned.
