How much more working space does the 1490 offer than the 1390?

The 1490 adds 100 mm of nominal width, with a 1400 × 900 mm bed compared with 1300 × 900 mm. Send us your sign or display nesting file to check the benefit. We confirm usable travel and loading clearance before you plan an additional part in that space.

When should I choose a 1610 instead of the 1490?

Choose the 1610 when your routine sheet or layout needs more than the 1490’s 1400 × 900 mm area. The 1610 provides 1600 × 1000 mm. Send us your largest drawing with margins and fixtures, then compare fit and loading access on the two formats.

Are motorized height adjustment and a rotary fixture included on the 1490?

Motorized height adjustment and rotary fixtures are optional, and we specify the selected accessories in your order. For cylindrical or raised workpieces, send us the part dimensions and fixture design. Check focus access, lifting travel and physical clearance with the proposed accessory before approving the setup.

Can the standard 1490 cut bare metal with a higher-power tube?

No. The standard 1490 is for approved nonmetal cutting; a higher tube rating does not make it a bare-metal cutter. For signage containing steel pieces, send us the material requirements to compare a suitable hybrid or fiber configuration, supported by samples of your actual parts.

How do I choose the 1490 tube and cooling package?

We match the quoted tube, optics and chiller to your selected 80–150 W configuration and workload. Send us your most demanding cut and detailed engraving sample. Approve both results using the proposed source so the selected package meets your material and finish requirements.

Can I use LightBurn with the 1490 Ruida controller?

Yes, with a supported controller, firmware and LightBurn license. The 1490 uses Ruida DSP with RDWorks or a compatible LightBurn setup. We confirm the exact controller model in your configuration; check file transfer, scale, cutting and engraving on the supplied machine before adopting your preferred workflow.

Application and model selection

The 1490 bed adds width compared with a 1300 × 900 mm platform. Confirm usable travel and loading clearance rather than relying only on the model number. Motorized height adjustment and rotary fixtures are options, and the quoted source must fit the chosen bed and cooling package.

The values below identify this product and its listed options. The selected source, optics, controller, accessories and site utilities must be named in the quotation. Motion speed and positioning figures do not establish finished-part tolerance or production throughput.

Materials and process limits

Acrylic, wood, plywood, MDF, paper and cardboard are common cutting and engraving candidates. Approved textiles, natural leather and laser-grade rubber require composition and sample checks. Glass, ceramic, stone and coated metal are surface-marking applications; this standard CO2 platform does not cut bare metal.

Identify the exact material, coating and adhesive before testing. Do not laser-process PVC, vinyl, PTFE, other halogen-containing materials or unidentified composites. Use material-specific extraction and continuous supervision during cutting.

Production workflow

Prepare the artwork in the supplied control software, check scale and processing order, then set focus and test the material. Ruida DSP configurations commonly use RDWorks; LightBurn compatibility requires the exact supported controller, firmware and license. Camera recognition, where fitted, uses its matched vision workflow. Keep the original machine settings and lens data backed up.

Options to specify

Choose honeycomb support for thin flexible material or knife blades for rigid sheets. A motorized Z table and rotary fixture must provide enough clearance for the actual part. Tube power, focal length, cooling, air assist and extraction should be selected together. Current LightBurn releases support Windows and macOS; Linux requires an older supported release.

Plan suitable guarding, interlocks, emergency stops, extraction and operator training for the supplied laser system. The finished machine classification must be verified; an enclosure alone is not proof of Class 1 compliance. Follow the supplied operating and maintenance instructions.

Sample test and acceptance

Approve a representative sample and the written configuration before ordering. Record the material, source, settings, lens or nozzle, fixture, appearance, dimensions and complete cycle time. Keep those results as the production acceptance reference.

Cutting thickness and speed

Use your actual material and drawing to agree the thickness, edge finish, kerf and cycle time. Tube rating alone is insufficient: density, resin, moisture, focus, air assist and acceptable charring all affect the result. A maximum separation cut is different from repeatable production cutting.

Installation, service and documentation

Ask Vank Laser to include the machine layout, electrical requirements, supplied software, operating instructions, maintenance schedule and recommended spare parts in the technical proposal. Agree commissioning, operator training, support language, warranty coverage and service responsibilities before shipment. Request conformity documents for the actual machine and destination.

Request a sample test and quotation

Provide material composition, sheet size, thickness range, artwork, required edge or engraving finish and parts per shift.

Send the destination country, installation voltage and required delivery scope with your inquiry. Ask for sample photos or video, measured results and a configuration-specific quotation.
