The Hydra Dual-Laser System is a cutting-edge dual-power-source laser platform combining a glass CO2 laser tube and an RF metal tube. The design of these two laser tubes optimizes their performance for various laser processing tasks, offering unparalleled cutting versatility and precision.

The maximum engraving speed is an impressive 1200 mm/s, paired with 3G acceleration. This performance rivals the fastest professional-grade lasers in the industry, ensuring both speed and precision for your engraving projects.

This will depend on the model, the glass tube's wattage, and how thick the material is.

For example, if you are cutting ⅛” acrylic on the Hydra 9, you can cut this with the glass tube going about 25 mm/s, but with the Hydra 16, you will be able to cut it going 35 mm/s or faster.

You cannot engrave directly on plain, untreated metal with Hydra now. However, you can engrave on painted, anodized, or coated metals. The coating or surface treatment allows the laser to effectively mark the metal underneath, making it suitable for detailed laser engraving projects.

Absolutely! The Hydra laser model comes with a connection point for a rotary attachment. Ensure the rotary device utilizes a 4-pin aviation-style plug to effortlessly engrave cylindrical objects such as cups.

Pro Tip: We highly recommend the PiBurn rotary, an excellent product from a trusted US-based company that specializes in high-quality rotary attachments.

Yes, the Hydra comes with a built-in solenoid, allowing automatic control of the air assist system for improved laser cutting and engraving efficiency.

The solenoid is a crucial component in laser machines for controlling the air assist system. Its function not only enhances the efficiency and quality of cutting and engraving but also optimizes the workflow through automated control.

If your laser machine does not come equipped with a solenoid, you may need to manually operate the airflow switch, which can increase workload and lead to resource wastage.

Choosing a solenoid can significantly improve productivity and product quality, especially in scenarios involving frequent cutting and engraving tasks.

Yes! ONELASER Hydra Laser engraving cutting machines run on standard 110-120V outlets with at least a 15 AMP breaker.

It might not fit in its assembled state, but the Hydra machine’s modular design allows you to easily disassemble any side as needed, making it simple to fit through a standard door. The entire machine consists of three layers, totaling 40.75″ in height: The top and middle layers combined measure 31.50″. The bottom layer measures 9.25″.
