The PLH3D-6W Series laser head is a versatile and powerful tool designed for precision engraving and cutting across a wide range of materials. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for integration with nearly all CNC machines and 3D printers, offering a seamless replacement for traditional CO2 lasers in various applications. The laser head is engineered to handle tasks such as engraving and cutting plastics, woods, cardboard, textiles, and even marking metals like stainless steel and titanium.

One of the standout features of the PLH3D-6W Series is its efficient thermal management system. The laser head's body is crafted from machined 6000-Series Aluminum, which not only ensures a low weight but also acts as an effective heat sink. This design helps in dissipating heat away from the laser diode, thereby extending its operational lifetime. Additionally, the laser head incorporates a fan that directs air to remove smoke, further enhancing its performance during prolonged use.

To safeguard the laser head from overheating, it is equipped with an automatic shutdown feature that activates when the housing temperature exceeds 47°C (116°F), resuming operation once it cools down to 40°C (103°F). This protective mechanism ensures the longevity of the semiconductor laser. Moreover, the integrated laser driver within the head allows for higher modulation frequencies and the use of longer cables, providing greater flexibility in various setups.

The PLH3D-6W Series laser head comes with a High-Efficiency Mounted Aspheric lens and a High-Resolution Triplet lens, with the latter being recommended for optimal engraving results. The focal length is adjustable, allowing users to fine-tune the focus for different materials and applications. This adaptability makes it suitable for engraving on a variety of woods, including birch, pine plywood, balsa, hardwood, and MDF, as well as cutting low-density woods and textiles like cotton, denim, and nylon.

In addition to its capabilities with wood and textiles, the laser head's blue light is effective for engraving metals such as black anodized aluminum and wrought iron, and marking titanium and stainless steel. It also excels in cutting and engraving various plastics, including ABS, acrylic, polypropylene, and polyamides, as well as rubber compositions like latex and neoprene. The PLH3D-6W Series can even handle leather, making it a comprehensive solution for diverse engraving and cutting needs.
