CO2 laser head
CCD Camera SV300 (for logos border cutting)
The high-quality carbon dioxide laser cutting head is made of all-aluminum alloy. The laser beam is reflected by the laser reflector and guided to the laser cutting head. After being focused by the focusing lens inside the laser head, a high-energy laser beam is formed to achieve high-speed engraving and cutting.
Ball Screw transmission
Compared with belt drive, it provides higher engraving and cutting precision; compared with GEAR RACK rack drive, it provides higher precision, but rack-drive machines are faster. BALL SCREW drive is mainly used for cutting materials over 20 mm thick and for laser cutting of greater thicknesses, resulting in smoother cutting edges.
Aluminum alloy blade workbench
Multiple aluminum alloy structure design, aluminum alloy material is easier to dissipate heat, and the waste of laser-cut products falls into the blade table to keep the table clean.
Adjustable Mirror Alignment
The beam path uses adjustable mirrors to carry the CO2 laser from the tube to the cutting head. Stable mounts support repeatable alignment, while three-point adjustment allows trained technicians to correct the optical path during installation or scheduled maintenance.

S&A CW5300 water Chiller
The supplied package can be configured with the chiller, exhaust blower, air-assist components and ducting required for the selected machine and destination.
An industrial water chiller circulates temperature-controlled coolant through the laser tube. Chiller model and alarm protection are selected according to tube power and local ambient conditions.
The exhaust blower removes smoke and process fumes from the cutting zone. Airflow, filtration and discharge arrangements must be designed for the material and comply with local workplace and environmental requirements.
Ducting scope and connection sizes are confirmed in the final configuration so the customer can plan safe discharge or filtration before installation.
Lens Options for Engraving and Thick Cutting
A 2.5 in (63.5 mm) focal-length lens suits general engraving and cutting, while a 4 in (101.6 mm) option provides greater depth of focus for thicker materials. The best lens depends on material, thickness, detail and edge requirements; confirm performance with a sample test.
Offline Job Storage and Recovery
Ruida controllers can store jobs and provide recovery functions after an interruption. Resume behavior depends on the controller, file and machine state, so the operator must inspect the machine, material and origin before restarting a job.
Jobs can be transferred by USB storage, USB cable or wired Ethernet, depending on the controller configuration, and then run from the panel without keeping the design computer connected.
