SCULPFUN S9 5.5W Laser Engraver

Diode Machine 5.5W for Precise Engraving and Cutting

SCULPFUN S9 5.5W is a laser engraver with a power of 5W, designed for detailed processing of non-metal materials and marking certain types of metals. The design is built on a rigid metal frame with an open architecture, which simplifies the upgrade and maintenance of the equipment. The laser module uses beam compression technology with a focal spot of 0.06 x 0.06 mm. The working area is 410 x 415 mm, allowing for the processing of both small workpieces and large decorative panels or series of similar parts. The machine integrates into ready-made production lines for the personalization of finished products, application of serial numbers, branding, and the creation of complex decorative elements.

Key Technical Advantages of SCULPFUN S9

• Ultra-thin laser spot 0.06 x 0.06 mm. The high energy density of the light flow ensures jewelry-like clarity of lines, delicate transmission of small fonts, complex vector contours, and detailed raster images.
• Optical power of the module 5-5.5W. The use of linear diode emitters of the blue spectrum allows for tasks of marking and high-speed surface burning.
• Equivalent to a 90W CO2 emitter. A special beam convergence scheme increases the penetrating ability of the optical head, aligning cutting performance with entry-level gas lasers.
• Air Assist Ready design. The mechanical part of the optical unit is adapted for connecting forced air blowing systems to the cutting zone to remove combustion products and protect the lens from soot.
• Rigid all-metal frame. The frame made of anodized aluminum profile minimizes micro-vibrations of the moving carriage during changes in the vector of axis movement, maintaining positioning accuracy.
• Quick vertical focusing. The combination of a fixed focal length lens and a reliable sliding bar with a screw clamp simplifies the laser's reconfiguration for new material thickness.
• Built-in measuring scales. The X and Y axis guides are equipped with clear millimeter markings, speeding up manual positioning of sheet workpieces without using external tools.
• Integrated eye protection filter. The laser head housing is equipped with a special light filter that absorbs up to 98.0% of harmful ultraviolet and blue radiation.

5.5W Laser Module with Ultra-thin Spot

The SCULPFUN S9 uses a 5.5W diode laser with Laser Beam Shaping technology. The optical system compresses and focuses the beam into a spot size of 0.06 x 0.06 mm, increasing the energy concentration in the processing area.

Unlike standard diode lasers with an elongated rectangular spot, the system forms a symmetrical beam that more accurately reproduces small contours, text, barcodes, graphic elements, and complex vector images.

The narrow cutting line reduces the thermal impact zone on the material, helping to achieve cleaner edges when working with wood, plywood, and acrylic. This is especially important when creating openwork elements, models, decorative products, and parts with complex geometry.

The laser module's power is sufficient for cutting wood up to 15 mm thick and black acrylic up to 10 mm thick with appropriate settings. In addition to cutting, the device supports engraving on wood, leather, ceramics, anodized aluminum, and 304 stainless steel.

Materials for Engraving

The SCULPFUN S9 laser machine supports processing a wide range of materials used in the production of souvenirs, decor, and advertising products.

• Materials for engraving: wood, ceramics, 304 stainless steel, leather, paper, cardboard, acrylic, painted surfaces.
• Materials for cutting: wood up to 15 mm thick, black acrylic up to 10 mm thick, plywood.

Working Area of SCULPFUN S9

The working field size of 410 x 415 mm allows processing workpieces of a format close to A3, as well as simultaneously placing several small parts on the table. This is convenient for workshops working with small-scale production.

For tasks related to laser cutting of plywood, the equipment provides sufficient power to work with materials of significant thickness. With the correct selection of speed and number of passes, it is possible to create decorative panels, device cases, furniture decor elements, and educational models.

The desktop laser engraver is suitable for both home workshops and small productions where compact equipment with the ability to engrave and cut various materials is needed.
