The laser module emits a focused light beam that engraves or cuts the surface of your chosen material. Power and focus define engraving quality and depth.
Stepper motors move the laser along the X, Y, and Z axes with precision. This controlled movement ensures accurate engraving paths.
The control board interprets commands from software and controls the laser and motors. It’s the main brain of the entire machine.
Software like LaserGRBL or LightBurn converts images or text into G-code. This G-code tells the board how to move the laser for engraving.
The power supply ensures the laser and motors receive the correct voltage and current to run smoothly and safely.
Limit switches define the physical boundaries of the CNC machine. They prevent over-travel, enable homing, and protect motors and mechanics.
