In terms of safety, we add an extra emergency stop switch so users could shut down the machine with a single push at any time. The upgraded 32bit control board also allows users to add flame detectors to take safety to next level. It is also recommended to have a metal pad and working table like this one sit beneath the machine.

Other Highlighted Features for Laser Engraving Machine TTS-55

1st: Dual Y-axis Motor for Faster Speed & Higher Precision Engraving

Another feature that set TTS-55 apart from other laser engravers in the market is its dual y-axis stepper motor design. Instead of using a single motor for Y-axis movement, TTS-55 utilizes one motor on both sides of the Y-axis. Once engraving or cutting begins, the control board would commend both motors to move in the same direction and at the same speed. The synchronous movement ensures a higher speed and less wobbling which leads to higher precision and faster engraving speed.

2nd: Upgraded Motherboard for Rich Customization Possibilities

To more customization possibilities for DIY users, we have upgraded the previous motherboard to ESP32. The upgraded motherboard not only enables users to connect the engraver with the mobile APP via Wifi but also enables users to add extra functions and features to the machine including a flame detector, external end-stop switch, vibration sensor & switch, and control screen. Apart from that the upgrade also means faster reading, quick response, and more storage for customized code lines. If you are a creator and enjoy playing around with codes, this machine is definitely worth trying.

3rd: Optional Extension Kit to Get Extra Engraving Size

The original laser engraver machine is with 300*300mm engraving size which would meet demands for most DIY projects and your business. However, for projects with large objects involved, it would be inefficient thus we provide extra extension kits as optional accessories to increase the engraving size to 420*400mm. If you work regularly on projects with higher demands for engraving size, TTS-55 and the extension kit would be worth your time for research.

4th: Unique Funnel-design Laser Filter Cover for Efficient Smoke Exhaustion

Laser engravers and cutters utilize high-density laser light which might cause permanent damage to the eyes if without proper eye protection. Thus most desktop laser engraver machines are packed with the protective goggle. And another protection is to attach a laser filter cover beneath the laser module to filter harmful light against your eyes. However, another problem was raised as the smoke might be contained within the laser filter which would then stain your laser, block laser light, weaken the laser power and affect engraving and cutting performance.

To avoid the problem and provide more efficient smoke exhaustion, we have updated the laser filter cover with a unique funnel design. The funnel design, instead of forcing smoke to spread upward to stain laser, makes generated smoke flow to all sides and then out of the filter cover from the opening.

5th: Reserve Space on Laser Module for Air Assistance Kit

As mentioned a large amount of smoke would be generated during the engraving process which would then block laser light and affect performance, thus an air assistance kit would be used to blow away the smoke to get ideal performance and result. To provide with better users experience and delivery better engraves and cuts, we preserve extra space on the laser module to enable users to set up an air assistant kit with our unique bracket and mounting system. Though the bracket and air assistant kit are still under development, users could expect it to come into the market very soon.
