xTool 5W Infrared Laser Module with 1064nm Wavelength for Metal and Plastic Engraving

Discover the xTool 5W Infrared Laser Module with 1064nm Wavelength for Metal and Plastic Engraving, a specialized expansion attachment designed for high-precision marking on various surfaces. This module is engineered to integrate seamlessly with compatible xTool laser machines, specifically the xTool P3 system, enabling detailed and permanent engraving on challenging materials without the need for preparatory sprays. Featuring a 5 W optical power, a wavelength of 1064 nm, and a peak power of up to 65 kW, this infrared module delivers exceptional performance for creators and professionals looking to expand their crafting capabilities.

Advantages

The xTool 5W infrared laser module provides high-precision processing capabilities that standard diode and CO2 lasers cannot easily achieve on reflective metals. With an ultra-fine laser spot size of approximately 0.03 mm, it produces exceptionally sharp details, fine lines, and high-contrast markings. The short pulse width of 4 ns and high peak power ensure clean, durable results on precious metals and engineering plastics. Direct power integration from the host machine reduces cable clutter, while the integrated air cooling system maintains stable operating conditions during extended tasks.

Suitable for

• Engraving jewelry such as rings, pendants, and bracelets
• Marking serial numbers and barcodes on metal components
• Personalizing metal and plastic items
• Creating detailed designs on gold, silver, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum
• Processing various synthetic materials and engineering plastics cleanly

When it may not be suitable

This infrared laser module is not intended for cutting through thick wooden boards, paper, or standard clear glass, as its 1064nm wavelength is specifically optimized for metals and certain plastics. Users who require a general-purpose cutting tool for organic materials will need to use standard diode or CO2 laser modules instead.

How to use

To use the xTool 5W Infrared Laser Module, ensure your compatible xTool laser machine is powered off before beginning installation. Attach the module securely to the machine system and connect it using the provided components. Adjust the focus carefully using the focusing block to achieve the correct focal length of 49 mm before starting any project. Position your metal or plastic material within the working area, design your layout using compatible software, and initiate the engraving process at speeds up to 1000 mm/s depending on the material density.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing laser machine model is compatible with this specific infrared module
• Ensure your primary crafting projects involve compatible materials such as metals or engineering plastics
• Confirm that your workspace meets the recommended operating temperature range of 0°C to 35°C

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the ventilation openings on the module are clear and unobstructed to allow the integrated air cooling system to function correctly. Perform a test engraving on a scrap piece of material when working with new types of metals or plastics to determine the optimal speed and power settings for your specific project.
