Among the most exciting developments is the introduction of the ACCELASER HD1, touted as the most advanced hobby laser on the market, set to launch in fall 2026.
Overview of the ACCELASER HD1
The ACCELASER HD1 is a groundbreaking dual laser system combining a 450 nm blue diode laser and an infrared (IR) fiber laser. This dual-source setup allows it to handle a wide variety of materials with exceptional precision and speed.
Work Area and Engraving Capabilities
Work Area: 610 x 305 mm (24 x 12 inches) for cutting, extendable up to 610 x 3000 mm (24 x 118 inches) with an automatic conveyor feature.
Engraving Area: 25.5 x 13.6 inches, slightly larger than the cutting area due to the galvo head’s mirror movement.
Bed Size: 29.1 x 14.9 inches.
The machine features a motorized Z-axis, enabling 2.5D and 3D engraving. It uses a flying 3D galvo system, which means the galvo head moves on three axes with three lenses inside, combining the speed of a galvo with the size of a gantry.
Precision and Speed
Acceleration: Among the highest on the market for XY and Z axes.
Camera Positioning: Dual cameras provide positioning accuracy of about 1 mm on the enclosure lid and 0.05 mm on the tool head, ensuring perfect alignment.
Lidar Ranging System: Enables on-the-fly focusing essential for 3D engraving.
Engraving Speed: Up to 4000 mm per second within the galvo’s 200 x 200 mm area.
Laser Specifications
Diode Laser: 450 nm blue laser output through fiber optic cable, producing a square beam with a spot size of 0.1 x 0.1 mm.
Fiber Laser: Available in two flavors, with an IR spot size of 0.04 x 0.04 mm.
Cooling: Both lasers are water-cooled via an external chiller to prevent smoke contamination.
Software and Compatibility
The ACCELaser HD1 is compatible with LightBurn software and supports multiple operating systems including Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS. This broad compatibility allows users to operate the machine from virtually any device.
Additional Features
Airflow Switching: Automatically switches airflow for cutting and engraving.
Fully Enclosed Design: Class 1 laser safety with electronics separated from the laser sources to prevent smoke damage.
Lens Cleaning: Simple maintenance with microfiber cloth cleaning of the galvo lens.
Rotary Attachment: Supports rotary engraving up to 180 mm (7 inches) in diameter.
Models and Pricing
ACCELaser offers two models:
HD1 Pro: 55 W blue diode laser and 20 W fiber laser, weighing approximately 38 kg (83.75 lbs), priced at $3,799.
HD1 Ultra: 80 W blue diode laser and 60 W MOPA fiber laser (JPT source), priced starting at $6,299.
Both models require an external chiller for cooling.
