Emblaser Core is back in stock!
Introducing the Emblaser Core
Our new high performance diode laser cutter/engraver in a simple to assemble kit.
Why choose the Emblaser Core?
The Emblaser Core is designed for the hobbyist who is looking for an affordable laser cutter / engraver that is simple to assemble and maintain. It utilises the same core technology as the Emblaser 2, the electronics, optics and laser system, providing amazing performance for a solid-state based laser machine.
All parts of the machine are easily accessible, making maintenance a simple process. From lens cleaning to completely replacing the laser diode takes only minutes. Perfect for the hobbyist who wants to spend more time using their machine to make things, than tinkering with it.
Automatic Laser Height
One of the incredible features of the Emblaser Core is its software controlled laser height.
No need to fiddle around adjusting the laser height for your materials. Either use the software material library or enter your material thickness. The Emblaser Core does the rest, setting the laser to the optimal focus height.
Automatically adjust the height of the laser while cutting and engraving to gain an extra dimension of control.
Cut through thicker materials by setting your laser to automatically lower with multiples passes. Create 3D engravings with depth or automatically adjust the sharpness of your laser to create sharp lines or soft fills. So many possibilities!
Large Workspace
Working on larger materials is now possible with a 500mm x 300mm (19.66″ x 11.81″) work area, PLUS the ability to use larger materials with the pass-thru built into the machine sides.
The maximum material height is 50mm (1.97″)
Reliability & Low Maintenance
Our solid-state laser diode gives unparalleled reliability compared to most CO2 laser systems.
No need for complicated mirror calibration and cleaning. Run the Emblaser Core continuously without the need for messy water cooling setups.
Spend more time working on your projects and less time tweaking your machine.
Simplified Assembly
The Emblaser Core is our easiest to assemble kit to date.
We pre-assemble and calibrate all the tricky parts for you, such as the Laser Unit. Combine this with the fully illustrated Step-by-Step instructions and the Emblaser Core assembles in half the time of the original Emblaser 1.
