Additional Information
-
Flame Sprinkler SystemLaser engraving and cutting operations using the flame sprinkler system protects the operator, machine, and working objects from potential fire hazards. During the engraving process, flaming may occur when working with combustible or easily-flammable materials, such as paper or wood. The flame sprinkler system is an optional item that automatically ejects gas to extinguish flames when they reach 68°C/155°F moments after the onset of the fire.
-
AAS Contour Cutting DeviceDeveloped by GCC LaserPro, AAS is an exceptionally user-friendly operation which offers accurate and faultless contour cutting by automatically tracking the position of graphics for laser engravers and cutters.
Note: Working area and engraving speed will be reduced when AAS module is installed.
*The working area will be changed to 530mm X 420mm (20.8" x 16.5") after installing the AAS Contour Cutting Device. -
SmartVISION™ Pro CCDThe GCC LaserPro laser engraver features the CCD module, which significantly boosts productivity by learning, memorizing, and precisely locating printed graphics. This allows for contour cutting, automatically adjusting the settings to ensure accurate cuts on various materials. By installing the SmartVISION™ Pro CCD, the working area can be exchanged to 770 mm x 595 mm (30.3" x 23.4").
Please note that the SmartVISION Pro CCD is exclusively compatible with CO2 single models. -
Dust Prevention WindowWhen the laser system is on duty, it will bring a lot of dust result from the material and it will contaminate the lenses and mirrors. Dust Prevention Window can keep lenses and mirrors clean to promote longer laser life and increase the effect of air induction.
-
SmartAIR™ Fine NozzleThe optional SmartAIR Fine Nozzle is recommended for laser engraving or cutting thin materials such as textile. The smaller caliber nozzle is positioned closer to the object for a concentrated blast directed over a small area to eliminate burning on the cutting edge. The perfectly-vertical design of the SmartAIR Fine Nozzle produces a concentrated airflow to blow away dust and unwanted residue, leaving a clean product surface.
-
Roll to Roll AutofeederThe Roll to Roll Autofeeder unit is a great optional item that can be used in tandem with Spirit or Spirit LS, or Spirit GLS model to form an automated engraving system when working with rolled material. For instance, if used with Heat transferable materials, the laser can produce very fine and delicate patterns which can be heat pressed directly without the need for weeding. This is an essential solution to mass production requirements.
* The width of material loading is limited to 600 mm (23.6”) -
SmartBOX™An innovative technology for laser engravers and cutters that integrates the ventilation box with a honeycomb table or aluminum grid cutting table. The result is not only a precise cut with sharp edges, but also a clean laser table to work on.
-
External Interface Control BoardThe External Control Interface Board is an optional item that allows users to set up GCC LaserPro laser engraving and cutting systems for communication with external devices such as odor reduction units, robot arms, and others via a 5V or 12V signal to form an automatic production line. Another useful practice applies in certain working environments when users are required to set up an extra remote interlock control or when laser machines are allowed to be switched off if a security device is triggered.
-
Grid Cutting TableThe grid cutting table is an ideal pal for laser cutting. It lifts the work piece off the work table from hitting by laser reflection while supports it with reinforced grid design. The dust and vapor created during laser cutting are then taken away effectively through the grid by down vacuum funnel exhaust. Rather than handling rigid materials, grid cutting table also helps to fix flexible materials with the aid of down vacuum to keep constant focus distance and consistent cutting result.
-
Entry-Level Fume Extraction SystemGCC PA-1500FS & PA-1000FS, CE-certified fume extraction systems, are designed to remove hazardous fumes and dust during laser processing to protect the health of operators, eliminate environmental pollution and enhance laser engraving and cutting.
* For seamless fume extractor control via laser machines, we recommend considering the purchase of an external I/O board. -
Wi-Fi RouterWi-Fi router allows you to transmit data through a wireless network. It can work with GCC laser engravers and RX II/ Jaguar V cutting plotters through the Ethernet port (not applicable for Japanese users.) Whether you are sending files to multiple GCC machines using one PC or sharing one unit of GCC machines with multiple PCs, this wireless technology can be an excellent helper.
-
SmartPRINT™SmartPRINT™ software features powerful functions, an intuitive interface, and built-in GCC LaserPro laser parameter setting for both Mac and Windows users. SmartPRINT™ provides clipart libraries, compatibility for various file formats, and advanced graphic functions such as Auto Trace Image Contour, Convert to Rhinestone, Generate Puzzle, and many more. Also, the additional text justification and sizing options can convert stroke to the path.
-
Honeycomb TableA clean and better cutting quality is achieved by the honeycomb table when cutting materials into small pieces. It lifts the workpiece off the work table from hitting by laser reflection. The dust and vapor created during processing are then taken away effectively through the honeycomb cell by a down vacuum funnel exhaust. Rather than handling rigid materials, the honeycomb table also helps to fix flexible materials with the aid of down vacuum to keep constant focus distance and consistent cutting results.
-
SmartGUARD™ Fire Alarm (Patented)Laser engraving and cutting operation using the SmartGUARD Fire Alarm assures optimum safety. When there is a malfunction, the alarm system will be active and shut-down the operation system immediately.
-
Air CompressorA specially designed Air Compressor, by using an oil-less diaphragm, helps you eliminate the harmful and damaging side effects of moisture on the laser optics. In addition, it provides the optimal air pressure when laser engraving and cutting to blow away vaporized particles and prevent overheating, keeping lenses and mirrors clean for longer laser life.
-
