Diode Lasers VS Monport K40 Laser Cutter 

There are some differences between the working principles of the two. In the CO2 laser machine, cutting and engraving are completed by using electrically stimulated CO2 and other gases such as nitrogen and helium. Laser diodes usually use semiconductors made of aluminum or gallium arsenide alloys. The current is supplied through the diode, causing electrons to flow through the p-n junction. If you are a diode engraver who is used to Lightburn and want to enter the field of carbon dioxide engravers, but think that buying a laser engraver with a power of more than 60W CO2 laser may not take into account the current engraving needs, Monport K40 Lightburn engraver can completely help you overcome this stage.

Features of Monport K40 Lightburn Laser Cutter

• The ONLY ONE K40 Compatible with Lightburn on the Market.

With the upgraded control board, this 40w machine can be compatible with Lightburn, which is the most popular and widly-used softare on the market. The Lightburn supported control panel has already installed in this machine, so you don't need to buy another motherboard.

With 40w of CO2 laser power, an affordable price & easy-to-operate process, Monport's 40w machine is the perfect choice for beginners to learn laser engraving. If you are a novice carver who has just switched from diode to carbon dioxide, you can have a 40w machine for transitional use. Generally, high-power carbon dioxide machines are very expensive. The engraving power and engraving accuracy of the Monport k40 Lightburn are higher than those of some carbon dioxide carvers with the same power.

• High Precision

A professional laser system ensures stability and reliability. There is no doubt that the engraving accuracy of ordinary carbon dioxide engraving machines must be higher than that of diodes. It is gratifying that the engraving accuracy of Monport K40 Lightburn is even much better than that of some other K40 machines.

• Dual Work Bed

2 options for more possibilities. A stabilizer clamp: It can keep irregularly shaped objects in place. A vented level board: It is for regular shapes.

• Built-in Ventilation

Integrated fan to boost laser performance, improve ventilation, and reduce noise. The exhaust port helps to create a safe work environment, so you can vent the fumes to the outdoors. The built-in air assist system can take away some heat and debris generated in the carving process, helping the carver to carve better.

• Emergency Stop Button

The E-Stop safety button is easy to operate in emergency situations. It is used to shut off machine in an emergency when it cannot be shut down in the user manual.
