The Longer RAY5 minis 5.5W is a compact desktop diode laser engraver designed for precision engraving and light cutting on small materials. Pre-assembled and ready to use, it fits on a desk or workbench and provides a 130 × 140 mm working area with engraving speeds up to 12,000 mm/min. The 5.5 W 450 nm laser module and a 0.04 × 0.04 mm laser spot enable fine detail reproduction on materials commonly used in hobby and small-workshop projects.
Advantages
The device combines a small footprint with professional-level engraving accuracy, offering repeatable focus via a 2 mm spacer block and a fine 0.04 mm engraving precision. Connectivity options include USB and Wi‑Fi with support for common control software and mobile apps, and the unit operates offline after file upload. Safety features such as an enclosed cover, door sensor, axis limit switches, emergency stop, and an exhaust fan make it suitable for home and small-studio use. The kit includes safety glasses, a focus block, and basic tools for quick setup.
Suitable for
- Engraving and marking small wooden items, leather goods, and acrylic tokens
- Personalization of gifts, keychains, and nameplates
- Rapid prototyping and small-batch production for hobbyists and micro-sellers

How to use
Place the Longer RAY5 minis on a stable, level surface and connect the supplied power supply and data cable. Install the provided focus block to set a repeatable focus distance, attach the material within the 130 × 140 mm working area, and secure it if necessary. Prepare artwork or cutting paths in compatible software (for example, LaserGRBL or LightBurn) and export a supported file format. Transfer the file via USB or Wi‑Fi, confirm settings such as power and speed appropriate for the chosen material, and start the job. The enclosure and safety interlocks will pause operation if the cover is opened.
Usage recommendations
Ensure adequate ventilation when engraving materials that produce fumes. Test settings on scrap pieces of the same material to determine optimal power and speed before working on final items. Use the supplied safety glasses when the device is in operation and follow local safety guidance for laser equipment use.
