Laser cutting machine Hexa

Flux Europe is a manufacturer specialised in the development of laser cutting and engraving equipment. Its main objective is to offer professional machines that adapt to the needs of private users and small companies, with a great value for money.

Laser cutting and engraving equipment are very useful tools at a professional level, as they allow cutting and engraving on various surfaces, often complementing the use of 3D printers.

Flux Europe's range of laser cutting and engraving equipment includes Beamo (ideal for private individuals), Beambox and Beambox Pro (for more advanced use). In addition to these, Flux Europe offers a new machine, HEXA.

Large work surface

HEXA stands out from other Flux Europe machines due to its 730 x 410 x 125 mm working area, which is much larger than the rest of the manufacturer's machines. This large surface area allows the user to engrave a multitude of materials and objects, expanding its capabilities compared to other laser cutting and engraving equipment.

The HEXA's working area is equipped by default with an improved steel honeycomb platform and cone separators, which allow for optimum results in the laser cutting and engraving of various materials.

High power and speed

HEXA features a high-powered 60 W CO2 laser with a 38 mm optical focusing lens. This new laser can cut a wide variety of materials with a thickness of up to 20 mm (depending on the material), as well as reaching a resolution of 1000 DPI, allowing the user to engrave images with a high level of detail.

In addition, the working speed of this machine has been improved. Thanks to the Cortex M4 core chips, HEXA can reach an engraving speed of up to 900 mm/s, allowing the work process to be streamlined and optimised.

Wide variety of materials

Hexa can use a variety of materials for both laser engraving and laser cutting.

Hexa allows laser engraving on wood, acrylic, cardboard, leather, fabric, anodised metal, stainless steel or glass. Engraving on stainless steel requires the use of spray paint on the surface.

Autofocus

One of the features that makes HEXA stand out from other laser cutting and engraving equipment is its autofocus. For this, HEXA uses a contact level sensor that works on any surface, allowing the machine to vary the distance of the laser by reference to the surface of the material, guaranteeing the optimum focus distance.

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 Flux-developed devices such as Beambox or Beambox Pro, HEXA is a safe device.

HEXA has a fully enclosed housing and includes sensors that alert in case of unexpected movement or overheating, as well as a fire alarm. These safety mechanisms allow the user to be fully protected at all times.

This professional laser cutting machine, unlike others with similar features, is intuitive to use. HEXA has a touch screen with which the user can control and monitor the work process thanks to its intuitive interface. 

Due to its features, its compatibility with a wide variety of materials and the safety elements it includes, the HEXA is the perfect laser cutting machine for small companies that need a powerful, compact machine with a large working surface that offers professional quality.
