1. How many laser modules does Ador offer?

Ador currently offers three interchangeable modules: 10W/20W diode laser module, 2W Infrared Laser Add-on and Printing Add-on. 

2. What is the laser wavelength of Ador?

The diode laser module has a wavelength of 445nm, while the 2W Infrared has a wavelength of 1064nm.

3. What is the laser spot size of Ador?

10W diode laser’s laser spot is 0.06 x 0.08mm; 20W diode laser’s laser spot is 0.07 x 0.11mm.

4. What is Ador’s maximum engraving speed?

Ador can achieve an engraving speed up to 400mm/s.

5. What is the expected lifespan of the diode laser modules?

Under normal usage conditions, the diode laser modules have a lifespan of 10,000 hours.

6. What are the dimensions and weight of Ador?

The machine’s dimensions are 637 x 488 x 226mm, and its weight is 19kg.

7. Does the machine have a camera preview feature?

Ador is equipped with an 8MP high resolution camera for precise material positioning and efficient alignment.

8. What software is needed to operate the machine?

Ador supports Beam Studio and LightBurn (coming soon) software. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android.

9. How is Ador connected?

The machine can be connected via WiFi, USB cable, or Ethernet (with an adapter).

10. What file formats does Ador support?

Ador supports SVG / PNG / JPG / DXF / PDF / AI.

11. Does Ador require optical alignment?

Ador’s modules are lightweight and can be directly installed on the optical axis, eliminating the need for optical alignment or bulky water cooling systems that CO2 lasers require.

12. Does Ador require periodic cooling water replacement?

Both the diode laser module and 2W Infrared Laser Add-on come with built-in cooling fans, eliminating the need for an external water cooling system. 

13. What are the differences between diode laser and infrared laser?

The main difference between the 10W and 20W diode laser is their power; it will provide stronger cutting capabilities with higher power. The 2W infrared laser is suitable for engraving other metals or plastics.

14. Is it possible for Ador to work for extended periods without breaks?

Ador can operate continuously if the indoor temperature is maintained at a suitable level.

Laser Module: 5-30°C (41-86°F)

Printing Module: 16-25°C (60.8-77°F)

1. Can Ador engrave on metals?

The 10W/20W Diode Laser Modules are versatile tools that can be used for different applications. They can directly engrave metal surfaces or remove anodized coatings on metals. Moreover, when combined with the 2W Infrared Laser Add-on, it can engrave other materials such as gold, brass, titanium, aluminum, black acrylic, ABS plastic, silver, and iron.

2. What is the maximum thickness can Ador cut?

The cutting thickness varies for different materials; for detailed information, please refer to Ador’s Material List.

3. Can Ador cut through plastic?

It is not recommended to laser cut plastic under any circumstances. However, by using 2W Infrared Laser Add-on, it is able to engrave ABS plastic.

4. Can Ador engrave or cut acrylic?

Due to the wavelength of the diode laser, Ador can only engrave or cut black acrylic. Any light-colored or transparent acrylic cannot be engraved or cut by Ador. If you have engraving or cutting needs for transparent acrylic, please refer to FLUX Beam Series CO2 laser cutting machine.
