The 30 W fiber laser source is designed for metal engraving and marking. It is suitable for personalising plates, technical components, accessories and metal objects.

Depending on the application, it can also be used for relief engraving. It is intended for workshops looking to add metal marking to their range of services. This optional source requires the Diode Galvo module.

xTool X1: a concentration of technologies for laser engraving

The xTool X1 combines a hybrid motion system, a modular laser architecture and automation features. These technologies are designed to bring large-format cutting and high-speed engraving together in one machine. They also make it easier to upgrade the equipment as requirements change, without replacing the entire platform.

Hybrid Motion™: combine Galvo speed with a large working area

Hybrid Motion™ coordinates the gantry's movement along the X and Y axes with two galvanometer mirrors. This four-axis system combines an extended working area with the fast scanning capabilities of Galvo technology.

With compatible sources, the manufacturer specifies a maximum speed of 6,000 mm/s and a Galvo processing area of 614 × 320 mm, depending on the operating mode.

Laser Swap™: adapt the xTool X1 to your projects

The Laser Swap™ system enables different laser sources to be used within the same optical platform. The xTool X1 features a 55 W CO₂ head and can accommodate the 20 W Diode Galvo module.

This module is required to add the 5 W UV, 60 W MOPA or 30 W fiber sources. This modular design makes it possible to expand applications gradually according to the materials to be processed and production requirements.

ACS™: automate laser job preparation

The ACS™ automated creation system simplifies job preparation using three cameras and an AutoLift base. The cameras help locate the material and position the design, while the base automatically adjusts the height of the work platform.

Combined with focusing and ranging functions, these technologies reduce some of the manual adjustments required before starting a job and make it easier to repeat operations.

xTool X1: all the technical specifications of the laser engraver

The xTool X1 features a large working area, a camera-based positioning system and functions designed to simplify setup. Its performance varies according to the installed laser source and the process used. It is therefore important to distinguish the specifications of the CO₂ configuration from the figures given for Galvo modules and specialised laser sources.

AutoLift base: automatically adjust the work platform height

The AutoLift base automatically adjusts the work platform height to make it easier to position material beneath the laser head. It simplifies project setup when working with pieces of different thicknesses.

On the xTool X1, the stated maximum processing height is 150 mm with the CO₂ laser, compared with 140 mm with the Diode, UV, MOPA and fiber sources. The setting must be appropriate for the configuration and material being used.

Triple-camera system: position designs with precision

The xTool X1 vision system combines an 8 MP wide-angle camera, a 12 MP macro camera and a height camera. It helps identify the material's position and place designs within the working area.

Positioning accuracy varies depending on the camera and the area being observed. The system is complemented by autofocus and LiDAR ranging to assist with job preparation.

Large working area: 615 × 320 mm for large-format projects

The xTool X1's surface engraving area measures 615 × 320 mm, making it suitable for decorative panels, signs, personalised objects and batches of small parts.

Dedicated areas are available for specialised processes: internal glass engraving and metal relief engraving each have specific dimensions. The machine measures 1,000 × 580 × 420 mm and the main unit weighs 60 kg.

Processing speed: up to 6,000 mm/s with Galvo sources

Maximum speed depends on the installed source. The 55 W CO₂ laser reaches up to 600 mm/s, while compatible Galvo sources are rated at up to 6,000 mm/s.

CO₂ is particularly suited to cutting and processing non-metallic materials, while Galvo technology is designed for fast engraving. The actual speed depends on the design, material, resolution and processing settings.
