Galvo Laser

Hive's Galvo Laser

Hive76 is the proud steward of a new Omtech "Galvo Compact 30" 1065nm. This laser has a 5.9" x 5.9" engraving field with the factory lens.

Safety

This laser is VERY CAPABLE of seriously injuring you. ALWAYS make sure the enclosure is closed (work in progress). In the VERY RARE instance the enclosure cannot be closed, ensure the door to the room is closed, and that anyone in the radiation / reflection area is wearing APPROPRIATELY RATED laser glasses. The machine came with one set, so if more than one set is found, be suspicious.
