Does the 300 W 1325 use a ball screw drive?

Yes. Our 300 W 1325 uses ball screw transmission for large nonmetal cutting jobs. The drive type alone does not determine cutting thickness. Send us your material and drawing to compare configurations, and assess finished dimensions, edge quality and complete cycle time on the same job.

Can the 300 W 1325 cut a 1220 × 2440 mm sheet in one setup?

Yes. Its 1300 × 2500 mm working area accommodates a 1220 × 2440 mm sheet. For full-sheet signs or panels, we confirm loading access, sheet support and usable travel with your configuration. Send us the complete nesting layout, including margins and fixtures, to check the setup.

What thicknesses should I test on the 300 W 1325?

Use 12 mm acrylic, 8 mm plywood and 6 mm MDF as sample-test starting points, rather than guaranteed production limits. Your material grade, adhesive, moisture and required finish affect the result. We recommend approving repeatable samples and their settings, including edge quality, before choosing your production configuration.

Should I choose a 300 W or 500 W 1325 for acrylic and wood cutting?

Choose around your material, thickness, required edge finish and workload. The 300 W ball screw machine and 500 W version are separate configurations. Send us your cutting requirements so we can compare the matched source, optics, chiller and electrical package, together with representative cutting results.

Can the 300 W 1325 cut bare steel sheet?

No. This 1325 configuration is intended for approved nonmetals; its higher power does not provide bare-metal cutting capability. Send us your steel grade and nonmetal requirements if you need both processes, and we can compare suitable hybrid or fiber configurations using samples of each material.

How can I check cutting consistency across the 1325 bed?

Test a representative layout across the full bed, then compare parts from different positions. For acrylic or wood batches, record the stock, focus, edge condition, finished dimensions and total loading-to-cutting time. Use those approved results as the acceptance reference for your quoted machine.

300W 1325 CO2 Laser Cutter with Ball Screw Drive

CO2 Laser Cutting & Engraving Machines

Cut and engrave large acrylic, wood and MDF sheets on a 1300 × 2500 mm CO2 platform with ball screw transmission. This page covers the 300 W 1325 configuration; the related series also lists a separately configured 500 W version.

Application and model selection

The 1325 bed accommodates a 1220 × 2440 mm sheet. Ball screw motion is the main distinction from the conventional large-format series, but it does not by itself increase cutting thickness. The product sheet gives 300 W reference cuts of 12 mm acrylic, 8 mm plywood and 6 mm MDF; these are sample-test starting points, not guaranteed production limits.

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.
