Engraving Speed
The true measure of an engravers speed is how long it takes for you to finish a job.
This is a combination of a laser's acceleration and its maximum engraving speed. By
optimizing the interplay of motors, bearings and electronics, the Legend EX produces
120 inches per second engraving speed while the Legend TT produces 80 inches per
second engraving speed. State-of-the-art optimization software eliminates white space
both horizontally and vertically, increasing laser on-time rates, which further enhance
overall throughput.
Engraving Power
This is the amount of laser power that is applied to the material surface. At a given
speed, higher power will produce deeper cutting or engraving. Adjustable in 1%
increments, the power can be controlled either from your computer or from the
control panel on the engraver. Power can also equate to speed. A 120 watt laser can
travel significantly faster than a 25 watt laser and achieve the same depth of cut into
wood without a subsequent loss in quality. This means you can produce more
products faster. A 120 watt laser will also cut through thicker materials than either a
25 or 50 watt laser. The Legend EX line offers power levels from 30 to 120 watts and
the Legend TT line offers power levels from 35 to 45 watts.
