X-1309 General Purpose CO2 Laser Cutting Machine
One of our most popular machines, the X-1309 is our largest general purpose CO2 laser machine with a variable-height working area. Fitted standard with a 150-watt laser tube, this machine has proven to be a vital tool for businesses in a wide variety of industries ranging from textile and garment manufacturing, to sign making and prototyping. With a metal blade or honeycomb bed (51″ x 35″) and integrated fume extraction system, this machine is ideal for the workshop looking for a durable, easy to use solution for high-speed, precision production. The variable height working area (Z-axis) on this, and all our CO2 laser machines allows you to work on material over 8″ tall. While equipped with an automated camera system, the machine can easily be programmed to cut designs with pinpoint precision automatically.
X-1309 CO2 Laser Cutting Machine
Our general purpose laser cutting machines are designed with user convenience and flexibility in mind. Hardware and software are integrated in a complete, ready-to-use package with many features that enhance usability and profitability.
Dual Laser Heads & Air Assist
- The machine features dual laser cutting/engraving heads, enabling simultaneous processing of two identical patterns on a single sheet, doubling productivity. The head spacing is easily adjustable with a screwdriver to accommodate various pattern widths.
- The air assist system directs a continuous stream of compressed air to protect the lens from dust and vapor, while reducing flaming, scorching, and charring, especially on materials like wood and acrylic.
Spacious Working Area & Full Pass-Through Capability
- The 51” (1300mm) working width is perfect for handling standard 48” (1200mm) wide sheet materials. Whether you're cutting large sheets or tackling long workpieces, this machine has the capacity you need.
- With an openable front door and back panel, this laser machine offers full pass-through capability, enabling you to work with uncut sheets, long workpieces, or continuous roll materials.
High-Power CO2 Lasers
The laser machine can be equipped with single or dual 100W, 130W, or 150W glass CO2 laser tubes, all with great cost performance ratios. (Dual laser systems include two cutting heads, allowing you to cut or engrave twice as much material in the same amount of time.)
If engraving is a large part of your work load, you can increase productivity and engraving consistency with our 50W or 100W RF metal tube laser. It will allow you to get more done in less time with unmatched engraving quality.
Powerful Motors for Fast and Accurate Movement
With servo motors from world’s leading supplier, the laser head can move very fast at extremely high resolution. A step size of just 6.25μm gives the machine a resolution of over 4000DPI. In arbitrary-direction cutting, the head can accelerate at 2m/s2(0.2G), while for X-axis scanning during engraving, acceleration up to 20m/s2(2G) is possible. (The more economical models with high quality stepper motors sacrifice only a small amount of performance.)
Compatible with LightBurn Software
LightBurn is layout, editing, and control software for your laser cutter. With LightBurn you can:
- Import artwork in a variety of common vector graphic and image formats (including AI, PDF, SVG, DXF, PLT, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP)
- Arrange, edit, and even create new vector shapes within the editor, with powerful features like offsetting, boolean operations, welding, and node editing
- Apply settings like power, speed, number of passes, cut order, brightness & contrast, dithering mode, and much more
- Send the result directly to your laser cutter
LightBurn is a native application written for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, and talks directly to the laser, without the use of additional software.
Advanced Camera System for Accurate Positioning
Put mark points on the work piece and let RDCMarkVision find the accurate position of the pre-printed or pre-made artworks, and guide cutting.
Let RDVision trace the pre-printed or pre-made artworks and generate the cutting paths, then guide cutting if the subject can fit into the camera view.
Versatile Lens Options
- Our laser machines are equipped with top-quality, American-made optics that ensure a consistent laser beam across the entire working area, delivering industry-leading cutting and engraving results.
- We offer two lens options for our standard laser heads: the 2.5” (63.5mm) lens for general-purpose cutting and engraving, and the 4” (101.6mm) lens for cutting materials over 20mm thick. Both lenses can be mounted in two positions, maintaining the same nozzle-to-material spacing for optimal performance.
High-Performance Control System
The interactive control system features a high-resolution TFT LCD panel, allowing you to preview machine status, job details, and simulations before processing. Real-time status updates and adjustable parameters during operation ensure precision and flexibility.
Reliable Offline Operation
Embedded flash storage enables job transfers via USB, Ethernet, or flash drive, allowing the machine to operate offline. In the event of a power failure or emergency stop, the system saves all job data and resumes processing seamlessly to avoid material wastage.
Robust, High-precision Sliders
The linear bearings and slide rails used in the laser machines are thicker and stronger than in competitive models, ensuring long-term stability of the laser path. That means less downtime, more productivity, and more profit.
Deep Collecting Bay and Pick-Up Drawer
After cutting, parts small enough to fit through the honeycomb or strip table will drop down to a deep collecting bay, avoiding damage by the laser during subsequent cutting operations. They can be retrieved simply by opening the drawer after cutting is complete.
Complete Accessory Package
The machine comes with all necessary components, including an industrial water chiller to maintain stable laser tube performance, a powerful exhaust blower with ductwork for efficient fume extraction, and everything needed for immediate setup and operation.
Comprehensive Safety Features
Sensors throughout the machine monitor unsafe conditions, including open doors or laser cooling failures. The system automatically halts operation if any issue is detected. A panic button provides immediate and complete power shutdown for added safety.
2-Year Warranty
Enjoy peace of mind with a 2-year warranty on all our products. We stand behind our machines, ensuring quality and durability for years to come.
