A medium-format solution designed for continuous 24-hour operation is the Wattsan 1290 ST CO2 laser machine. This model is characterized by excellent performance, reliability and precision of machining parts and is designed to work with non-metallic materials. With over 50 internal enhancements to the Wattsan product line, the machine is a unique, high-quality, multi-purpose system that can be used for a variety of applications, including packaging, education, prototyping, furniture industry, and advertising.
Applications of the Wattsan 1290 ST
Wattsan 1290 ST is designed with versatility in mind and is widely used in the following industries:
- Woodworking and furniture manufacturing
- Production of decorative elements
- Cutting of textiles and flexible materials
- Advertising and signage
- Packaging and showcase design
- Production of educational and board games
- Production of POS materials and souvenirs
This machine can process a wide range of non-metallic materials:
- Plywood and wood materials up to 10 mm thick
- Plexiglass and plastics, including double-layered, up to 12 mm thick
- Fabrics, fur, rubber, cardboard and paper
Working area and build design
The machine has a spacious working area measuring 1200 × 900 mm, which allows users to conveniently work with sheet and rolled materials. Due to the design of the through table, there are no restrictions on the length of the material, while the static table allows processing materials up to 40 mm thick.
The focus is adjusted by raising or lowering the nozzle of the laser head. The entire machine frame is reinforced with a metal structure around the perimeter, which, combined with a 3 mm thick steel waste tray, increases the rigidity of the machine and minimizes vibration. As a result, cutting and engraving remain consistently accurate over a long period of use.
Motion system and precision engineering
The portal is made of aviation aluminum with a thickness of 5 to 7 mm at the corners of the structure for additional strength. The movement system includes:
- Three-phase stepper motors for smooth and precise head movement
- Belt gearboxes that reduce the load on the engines and extend their service life
- Reinforced 3M belts for reliable and stable movement
- Leadshine 3DM580 actuators for precise positioning
- PMI guides with a diameter of 15 mm, designed to maintain accuracy even under constant load
This configuration allows you to engrave with a resolution of up to 2500 dpi, which is suitable for detailed vector and raster design.
Sensors, airflow, and cooling safety features
The 1290 ST is equipped with inductive end sensors that provide accurate targeting and reduce mechanical wear, as they do not get dust or debris. To ensure a powerful and reliable airflow, a polyurethane tubing is used, which provides an operating pressure of up to 5.5 atm and a pressure resistance of up to 8 atm.
The water stroke sensor automatically turns off the laser when a malfunction of the cooling system is detected, protecting the laser tube from overheating. The machine uses D25 molybdenum mirrors, known for their durability and long service life.
Laser tube and power options
A 100W CO2 laser tube is included as standard, which is sufficient to work with most non-metallic materials. However, for complex tasks, the machine can be equipped with a more powerful tube. The frame is already equipped with an additional mounting slot and a side hood to facilitate pipe replacement or retrofitting.
Control system and software compatibility
The machine operates on the Ruida RDC6442G controller, which provides autonomous operation and precise control of all laser functions. It is compatible with RDWorks software, which supports a wide range of vector and raster graphics formats, including:
- AI, BMP, DWG, PLT, JPG and others.
Files can be downloaded via USB, LAN, Wi-Fi, or saved directly to the controller’s internal memory. The 1290 ST is connected to a computer via USB for real-time job management or can function independently using a USB stick.
