Epilog Fusion Edge 36

Our Epilog Fusion Edge 36 is one of our four laser cutters. It has a 60 watt CO2 laser tube, and can accomodate sheet material up to 900 mm x 600 mm.

CO2 lasers emit laser light in the infrared spectrum - it is invisible to the naked eye. This wavelength of light is suitable for cutting through organic materials that burn easily such as plywood, MDF, and acrylic.

Safety

• Review the Safe System of Work document before starting work.
• You must stay with the laser cutter at all times when it is cutting or engraving. There is a high risk of fire, therefore the process must be monitored. If you need to leave the laser you must pause the job.
• You must turn on the fume extraction before you start cutting. The fumes produced by laser cutting are hazardous, and the smoke produced will set off the building's fire alarm.
• Check the approved materials list before cutting. Some materials are unsafe to cut because of hazardous fumes or combustion byproducts. You must never cut PVC.
