2. LP4 vs Other LaserPecker Machines

The primary difference between the LP4 and the other galvanometer-type machines in the LP series (LP1, LP2, and LP3) is the type of lasers that it is equipped with. In turn, this affects the compatible materials, the engraving speed, and the resolution.

The LX series (LX1 & LX1 Max) uses a gantry system which increases the working area of the LP4. Check out the comprehensive machine comparison page on the official LaserPecker website for all the of details.

Lasers Selection

Before engraving, select the appropriate laser source according to the material to be engraved. There are two methods to switch between laser sources

Method 1:

Swipe left or right on the Laser Unit's color touch screen.

Method 2:

Access the laser source settings in the engraving settings interface on the mobile/PC software.

In this interface, users can choose the corresponding material for the current engraving material, and the software will recommend the appropriate laser source and engraving parameters for that material. It is advised that users make slight adjustments based on their own engraving environment, materials, and actual conditions.

Q4. How to Preview Before Engraving?

You can enter the engraving preview mode by clicking the preview button on the laser machine's touchscreen or the mobile/PC software. The blue frame represents the preview frame before engraving, showing the engraving area on the material. It helps users identify the orientation, size, and other information about the engraving.

Q5: How to Focus?

During the engraving preview phase before the machine starts engraving, you can perform focusing. There are three methods to achieve focus: red light focusing, manual focusing, and protective cover focusing.

Red light focusing: Adjust the height of the laser by adjusting the height of the electric bracket so that the two red light spots emitted by the machine and displayed on the engraving material overlap together, so as to achieve successful focusing.

Manual focusing: By adjusting the electric bracket and using a ruler to measure the height of the laser field mirror to the engraving material, make it 150mm.

Protective cover focusing: Adjust the height of the electric bracket, install the protective cover on the laser, and then readjust the electric bracket's height until the protective cover touches and covers the area where the material is placed. This completes the focusing process.

Q6: Do I Need Safety Goggles for Protection?

Yes, during the laser engraving and cutting process, the intense light can be harsh to the eyes. It is recommended for users to wear safety goggles to protect their eyes.

Q7: How Long can LaserPecker LP4 Work Continuously? What is Its Lifespan?

LP4 can work continuously for up to 63 hours. Its lifespan is 10,000+ hours. Reaching its lifespan doesn't mean it becomes unusable; it will only experience a gradual decrease in laser power. In such cases, you can adjust the engraving power or engraving depth settings to achieve the same effects as before.
