Laser cutting machine Beambox

Laser cutting and engraving equipment are very useful both at a domestic and professional level. In addition, they complement the work that can be carried out by a 3D printer.

Industrial laser cutting machines are large and very expensive, making them unaffordable for individuals or small companies.

Flux Europe has developed several laser cutting and engraving machines that adapt to the needs of private users and small companies, with a great quality/price ratio.

Beambox is a professional laser cutting and engraving machine in desktop format, ideal for those users who need a reliable and powerful machine with which to carry out different applications obtaining professional results.

Beambox is compact and portable, measuring 250 x 830 x 670 mm. This makes it easy to use in confined working areas.

This equipment has features normally found in high-end laser cutters, providing the user with a very versatile, high quality tool.

• Cutting power: Beambox  is equipped with a 40W CO2 laser that can easily cut and engrave different materials up to 10 mm thick, leaving clean and precise edges.
• High-resolution laser: Beambox  can engrave detailed patterns, complex text and detailed images for various applications. Its laser engraves with a layer depth of 0.05 mm and a resolution of 1000 dpi, allowing you to engrave designs in high resolution.
• Real-time view: Beambox  has an integrated interior camera that allows you to preview the work area and the cutting or engraving process in real time from your laptop or mobile phone. In addition, it allows objects to be aligned according to the design for an optimal result every time.

With Beam Studio it is possible to edit text and vector files, modify bitmap images, align and define objects, etc. In addition, Beam Studio supports JPG / PNG / SVG / DXF file formats, allowing the use of the user's preferred graphics editor.

Security

Like the other equipment developed by Flux, Beambox is a secure device.

Beambox Pro has an internal water cooling system that makes it a truly complete system, keeping each and every one of its components at the right temperature at all times.

Beambox Pro also has a fully enclosed housing with a safety sensor door. Lifting the door during a task activates a safety sensor that automatically pauses the device. These safety mechanisms allow the user to be fully protected at all times and comply with safety regulations even in educational establishments.

The use of equipment such as Beambox in educational centres helps children and teenagers to understand and assimilate complex concepts through practice and entertainment. This is why it helps to reinforce STEAM skills (Skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) through a hands-on learning experience, improving problem-solving skills and fostering creativity.

Due to its features, its compatibility with a wide variety of materials and the safety elements it includes, Beambox is the perfect laser cutting equipment for offices, small design or architecture studios, artists or educational centres.
