xTool F1: Fastest Portable Galvo Laser Engraver

F stands for FAST! The xTool F1 provides super fast engraving speed and is hand-held, and portable. 

With two different types of lasers ( Diode & Infrared laser) available to the operator, almost any type of surface can have engraving or markings applied.

While some laser users operate exclusively at home, many laser operators work as vendors at local festivals, events, flea markets, or anywhere that you can set a table or booth up.

Now, for the first time ever, as a vendor, you can personalize items at lightning-fast speeds for customers while they wait. And the xTool F1 is so lightweight and portable that it can be operated nearly anywhere.

The engraving speed maxes out at millimeters per SECOND. You may get the best results at just around a couple hundred mm per second using an XY axis-type laser machine. Ultimately, if you relay to your customer that his or her personalized item may be ready for pickup in 30 minutes, they may walk away, never to be seen again.

With the xTool F1 galvo laser, you can produce the same customized item while your customer watches, greatly reducing the chance of losing that impulse buyer. Items such as jewelry, coasters, leather patches, mugs, and cups can be made and delivered immediately and on the spot.  

A preview frame can be projected showing the operator exactly where the marking or engraving will occur reducing the chance for alignment and centering errors.

And the precision from the galvo mirror system provides unrivaled quality, especially compared to the typical diode laser. Engraving accuracy achieved by the xTool F1 is a stunning 0. mm. The very best precision XY axis-type diode laser engravers can only achieve an engraving accuracy of about 0.01 mm. The percentage difference in accuracy here is an incredible 108% improvement.

Automatic focus adjustment is also a key feature of the xTool F1. Simply input your material thickness to the software ( XCS) and the xTool F1 performs a seamless adjustment. Having to manually focus other types of lasers takes valuable operation time and can sometimes be a frustrating and inaccurate process.

Rotary operations can also be performed by using the xTool RA2 Pro Rotary. 

Lastly, a safety shield is included which covers the laser operation. The shield filters the damaging wavelength of laser light to prevent injury to the eyes and also reduces and directs smoke away from the engraving or marking operations.

xTool F1 Ultra: First Dual Fiber and Diode Galvo Laser Engraver

The xTool F1 was one of the first desktop galvo laser machines to feature switchable modules, including both diode and infrared lasers. The xTool F1 Ultra is a major upgrade, being the world&#;s first to combine a 20W fiber and a 20W diode laser in one machine.

Galvo-laser engravers are known for their speed, and the F1 Ultra is no exception, reaching engraving speeds of up to 10,000 mm/s. Its 20W fiber laser not only engraves metals but can also cut thin metal sheets.

Most galvo-lasers are compact and designed for smaller projects. However, the F1 Ultra is the largest desktop galvo laser engraver on the market. It starts with a working area of 220 x 220 mm, which can be extended to 500 x 220 mm with an auto-conveyer.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from ezcad.

Inside the workspace, there&#;s a smart camera that provides a workspace preview, auto-adjusts the focus, and determines material thickness to suggest the best laser parameters.

The F1 Ultra has a dual 20W laser setup, which allows it to cut and engrave nearly all materials. F1 supports engraving on both curved and cylindrical objects. Curved surface engraving is handled automatically by the smart camera. For cylindrical engraving, the xTool rotary attachment is needed.

Operating the F1 Ultra is simple: Place the material, drag and drop the design, and start engraving. The machine manages the path and focus automatically. This model also includes a control panel with 7GB of storage for saving projects and reusing them without a computer.

Safety is critical with fiber lasers. The F1 Ultra is designed as a closed container with sides that have a laser-filtering lid. It also has a smoke exhaust system to manage smoke and maintain clean indoor air.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A GALVO ...

There is that old saying &#;Do it once, do it right!&#; This is something that we really believe in at Millennium Signatures Marking Systems and we want to help you to consider the most important things when looking to purchase a new Laser Marking System for your Facility.

Q: Where is it made and who supports the equipment?

A: One of the things we see weekly is companies calling us in desperation with a laser system that was bought at auction or through a sister company from somewhere overseas and they can&#;t get quality support, anxious for us to offer instruction on the use of the system, configure or repair their system. Millennium Signatures only supports TYKMA Electrox built Laser Systems. If you want to be supported by the best, buy the best!

All Millennium Signatures, Laser Systems are produced in a very state-of-the-art, 100,000 square foot TYKMA Electrox facility in Chillicothe Ohio in the USA. Just as Millennium Signatures is as the Canadian arm of this global network, the other distributors worldwide are all extremely knowledgeable and have full field service capability and highly effective remote access support, we all stock spare components and all have strong access and communication to the technical assets on the factory floor. The distribution partners not only have excellent support from the factory level but also work to support and back each other up making sure that all our end-users get the support they need. You will not find a larger more experienced support network behind any competitive Galvo Driven Laser Marking Product.

Q: What is the warranty coverage of the system you&#;re looking at?

A: It&#;s true, the best-built products are backed by the best warranties!

All TYKMA Electrox built Laser Systems with the exception of the Laser Gear Series are backed by a comprehensive 3-Year Warranty. The Laser Gear Series is our entry-level line of lasers which are carefully designed to be available at a reduced price point to make the purchase of Laser Technology a bit easier for some and done without giving up quality or too much capability. For these reasons the Laser Gear line is fully supported for 18-Months from the time of delivery.

Q: Is it easy to use? My facility is fairly remote from urban centres, will I need to spend a lot on on-site Installation and Training?

A: We approach this situation on a case-by-case basis. If you want us at your facility, we will be there! Some costs will be involved if travel is necessary, but most lasers are received, unpackaged and set-up by our customers without the physical presence of a technical on-site. The systems are very easy to set-up and use. Everything from the way the packaging is designed for transport to the way Software and Drivers is installed has been carefully designed in consideration of this situation. You will always be supported with whatever level of service you require, but the technical team at Millennium Signatures and the Technical Team of TYKMA Electrox behind them are highly experienced with how to walk new customers through the basic steps and getting them operational quickly. Let&#;s not forget about the series of professionally made, easy to follow video tutorials that come on the flash drive included with your system. Plug it into a USB Drive, select one of the nine (9) basic descriptions of the task you want to know about and press play!

Even for those who are not feeling confident about taking on this new technology at all, the well-written and well-organized manual, along with video tutorials, support from our technicians and highly effective remote access to your system on-site, most clients are very surprised just how easy it is and how quickly we can have you up and running. We can even offer a completely loaded and pre-configured Lenovo Business Grade Laptop be sold with your system making it so it just could not be any easier coming out if the box.

At Millennium Signatures, you are always welcome to supply us with sample parts before you receive your system and we can assist you by creating some positive locating fixtures and part marking layout files in advance and sending them with your system allowing you to potentially start production marking within an hour of opening the box!

All perfectly pre-configured and tested back at one of our facilities for a plug and play start-up!

GALVO DRIVEN Laser Technology is always the way to go. It&#;s a little more expensive than Flat Bed Flying Optic based machines but far outperforms and outlasts those highly mechanical systems. TYKMA Electrox Lasers are proven time and time again to be extremely fast, reliable and maintenance free.
