1. Introduction
The Raymoto R1 PRO 20W Portable Laser Engraver utilizes dual galvanometer motor technology for high-precision engraving. It features a 0.08mm spot size, engraving speeds of 20-2000mm/s, and a 100x100mm engraving area. The laser is classified as Class 1 with an output of 0.5mW. This versatile 2-in-1 laser engraver can engrave on various materials including plywood, gray paper, logs, leather, stone, acrylic/plastic, cork coasters, and bamboo. It offers easy connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (for mobile devices), and USB/Wi-Fi (for PC), supporting file formats like JPG, SVG, PNG, and G-code.
2. Safety Information
The Raymoto R1 PRO 20W Laser Engraver is equipped with an emergency stop button for complete safety. If the laser engraver tilts, the machine automatically shuts down, effectively ensuring safety. It also features a Hall sensor that interrupts engraving operations if the protective cover is opened. The built-in exhaust fan effectively removes smoke and exhaust gases generated during the laser engraving process. Connecting to a ventilation duct allows for optimal exhaust to a window or air filter. The protective cover blocks 99% of harmful light, ensuring safety in the work area. The USB child safety lock ensures normal operation when plugged in, but the machine will not operate if removed, effectively guaranteeing safety.
Important Note:
- Always wear protective goggles when operating the laser engraver, especially if the protective cover is removed.
- Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling fumes and gases produced during engraving.
- Do not engrave pure metals (gold, silver, copper, brass, etc.) or transparent/reflective materials like painted metal, 304 stainless steel, or clear acrylic without first painting them black.
- This device is compatible with LightBurn 1.7.08. Compatibility with LightBurn 2.0 and later versions is currently under development. Please do not use LightBurn 2.0 applications at this time.
