Laser Engraver Longer RAY5 mini 5.5W — compact desktop laser engraver 5.5W

The Longer RAY5 mini 5.5W is a compact desktop laser engraver with a 5.5 W FAC diode laser module designed for precise engraving and light cutting of small items. The factory-assembled unit has a 130 × 140 mm working area and a 0.04 mm laser spot size at 450 nm wavelength, allowing accurate reproduction of fine details on materials such as wood, leather, coated metal and many plastics. With a maximum head speed of 12,000 mm/min and an expected laser lifetime of over 10,000 hours, the RAY5 mini is intended for hobbyists, makers and small businesses that need a small-footprint solution for prototyping, personalization and craft projects.

Advantages

The pre-assembled design and included focusing block make initial setup fast and reduce the need for manual calibration. A small but precise laser spot enables clear engraving of thin lines, small fonts and intricate ornaments. Multiple connectivity options (USB, Wi‑Fi and a mobile app) allow work from computer or smartphone and enable offline engraving once a job is uploaded. Built-in safety features such as X/Y limit switches, an Emergency Stop button, an acrylic protective screen and supplied safety glasses increase operational safety during use.

Suitable for

• Personalized gifts and small signage
• Prototype parts and model details
• Craft and hobby projects in wood, leather and acrylic
• Small-batch production of engraved accessories and jewelry

How to use

Place the RAY5 mini on a stable, level surface and connect the supplied external power adapter. Use the included 2 mm focusing block to set the correct distance between the laser module and the material, then secure the workpiece within the 130 × 140 mm working area. Load your design in compatible software such as LaserGRBL or LightBurn, export a supported file format (JPG, PNG, BMP or DXF) and transfer it via USB or Wi‑Fi. Start with low power and test passes on a scrap piece to determine the appropriate settings for material, speed and number of passes. Use the Emergency Stop button to interrupt operation immediately if needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test settings on a sample of the actual material before running the final job. Use multiple low-power passes rather than a single high-power pass for cleaner cuts on thicker or denser materials. Keep the workspace ventilated and use the supplied safety glasses when working with exposed materials; follow the device safety features and local regulations for laser equipment.
