Does anyone either A have super speed on their universal laser OR B know anything about it?
Basically they sick two 50-75 tubes in the laser and then stack the beams one right below each other to create a wider beam path to speed up the engraving. First laser beam goes through something like 4 mirrors and second goes through 6 mirrors I think to angle them right on top of each other when engraving. When cutting they combine the two beams so two 75 watts become 150w.
They charge about $5300 for the "super speed" optics and changes PLUS the cost of the second tube. Sounds expensive, but pretty great in theory one 75x2 could essentially engrave at the same speed as two 80w lasers on something like wood which requires more power, but using a single laser footprint in your shop. However it does add a lot of complexity with all the mirrors, and the actual output from each tube can vary slightly from tube to tube.
I'm wondering it if really works as advertised?
