✓ Dual-Laser Hybrids: Switch between engraving and cutting seamlessly.
Key Features of the Hydra Series
Multiple Bed Sizes for Large Projects
The Hydra Series offers flexible bed dimensions to suit different production needs—from 28'' x 20'' to a massive 62.99'' x 39.37''. This means you can work with large material sheets or process multiple items in one go, significantly increasing output efficiency.
Industrial-Level Engraving Precision
with a positioning accuracy of <= 0.01 mm and a laser spot size of 0.25mm (CO2) / 0.07mm (RF), the Hydra Series is made for fine details at scale.
Even while operating at high speeds, your engravings stay sharp, clean, and consistent across large surfaces or batches.
High-Speed Motion Control
Advanced motion control technology allows the Hydra to maintain engraving speeds and cutting depths without vibration or drift. This makes it ideal for bulk processing and continuous production environments.
You can engrave faster, with more consistency, even on complex or large-format jobs.
Full Rotary Support for Mass Production
The Hydra Series supports high-performance rotary attachments, allowing you to engrave cylindrical objects like tumblers, mugs, flasks, and bottles in bulk. This is a major asset for businesses focusing on branded drinkware or personalized gifts at scale.
Material Compatibility and Passthrough Design
with its open passthrough design, the Hydra Series accommodates oversized or lengthy materials easily. You can cut and engrave thicker acrylics, anodized aluminum, industrial-grade plastics, coated metals, and even glass (etching). This makes the Hydra Series one of the most versatile laser engravers in its class.
Software Integration
Hydra machines are compatible with LightBurn, RDWorks allowing professionals to import files, manage production runs, and optimize workflow using familiar software tools.
Industrial Cooling and Safety Systems
To support 24/7 operation, the Hydra Series includes an industrial-grade cooling system that maintains performance during long sessions.
Enhanced enclosures, emergency stops, and high-power ventilation systems ensure the machine operates safely and complies with industrial safety standards.
Built for Professional Efficiency
The Hydra Series is engineered for professionals who demand both speed and precision. From signage manufacturers to high-end engraving studios, these machines offer the speed of high-wattage CO2 tubes with the refined detailing of RF lasers—all in one cabinet.
Available Hydra Models
✓ Hydra 7 – 80W CO2 + 38W RF (or Hybrid)
✓ Hydra 9 – 100W CO2 + 38W RF (or Hybrid)
✓ Hydra 13 – 130W CO2 + 38W RF (or Hybrid)
✓ Hydra 16 – 150W CO2 + 38W RF (or Hybrid)
Each model is tailored to different production needs based on cutting depth, speed, and work area. All models offer dual-laser control and passthrough capability.
The Hydra Series is the right choice if you
✓ Run a high-volume engraving and cutting business
