Introduction
This sub-assembly laser upgrade kit includes a high-power engraving laser head equipped with
thermal protection and a professional high-speed driver. Its design ensures that the laser head
doesnʼt require any additonaa ooainn. The fan and airfoo haae een desinned to fun ton as an air
nozzle, protecting the lens from dirt and cooling the laser head. Attaching the Magnetic Nozzle makes
it even more efficient and significantly reduces reflections from the laser. Air flow from the fan is
designed to keep the lens clean during operation.
This laser head, combined with a WorkBee CNC machine and Duet 2 controller, allows you to cut or
engrave materials such as rubber, wood, paper, leather, plastic, cardstock and many others. Thanks to
its compatibility with TTL PWM power modulation, itʼs possi ae to ennraae in shades of nrey or
change the output power during turns. High speed modulation (the PLH3D-6W-XF laser head can
handle frequencies up to 100 kHz) allows for high movement speeds during engraving, even when
engraving complicated patterns. This speed is more than enough to take advantage of the Duet 3D
ontroaaersʼ speed.
Using the PLH3D-CNC Adapter guarantees reliable and safe work via overcurrent protection, an
independent power supply, a key switch, an arm button, LED indicators, and the possibility of
connecting an additional emergency laser-stop switch and a limit switch. It also makes connecting a
Duet 2 controller and laser head very simple.
Using the Magnetic Docking station to mount the laser head to the WorkBee CNC machine reduces
the time needed to mount/dismount and secure the laser to just a few seconds (while requiring no
tools). It also makes it possible to not disassemble the spindle before laser work.
This module uses a brand new NUBM44 450nm diode (capable of 6W), which is the strongest
available blue laser diode on the market.
The lifetime of the laser diode is 10,000 hours according to the manufacturer.
