Boss LS-1630 CO2 Laser
Description

The Boss LS-1630 is a professional-grade CO2 laser cutter and engraver designed and engineered in the USA. Equipped with an 80W Boss X-Series CO2 laser tube, it delivers precise cutting and engraving across a wide range of non-metallic materials including wood, acrylic, leather, glass, fabric, cork, rubber, MDF, and more. Metals can be marked using LaserBond spray or pre-treated blanks. The LS-1630 features Hybrid Servo Drive motors providing speeds up to 1,500 mm/sec -- up to 3x faster than competing stepper motor systems. The 16" x 30" work area accommodates most project sizes, and the 4-Way Tru-Pass-Thru allows oversized materials to extend beyond the bed in any direction. The motorized Z-axis provides up to 8 inches of vertical travel for accommodating thicker materials or rotary attachments. The machine is a Class IV laser product with dual safety interlocks on the hood, an emergency stop switch, and water-cooled laser tube via an external CW-series chiller. It is operated through LightBurn software running on the adjacent computer workstation.

  1. View the LightBurn tutorial video before your first use
  2. Turn on the accessories power strip on the wall to the right of the machine
  3. Turn on the laser power strip (single plug)
  4. If cutting material (not just etching/engraving), turn on the external compressor located outside the barn door in the wood shop
  5. Log in to the computer (password: 7490) and open LightBurn software
  6. Prepare your design in LightBurn or import it
  7. Set speed, power, and number of passes for each layer
  8. Record your settings in the Excel file on the computer desktop
  9. Save the design in LightBurn, then click Send to send it to the laser
  10. On the laser control panel, select Manual mode
  11. Position the laser head over your material using the arrow keys
  12. Press Center to set the starting point of your burn
  13. Perform manual focus: place the focal guide box on the nozzle ledge, adjust Z-axis up/down until material surface touches the guide
  14. Switch to Auto mode on the laser control panel
  15. Press Frame to preview the cut perimeter on your material
  16. Adjust material position as needed; use industrial magnets to hold material flat
