  Laser Tube Wattages:
30 or 40 watts 30, 40, 50, or 60 watts 30, 40, 50, 60, or 80 watts
  Laser Source:
State-of-the-art, digitally controlled, air-cooled CO2 laser tubes are fully modular, permanently aligned and field replaceable.
  Intelligent Memory Capacity:
Multiple file storage up to 64 MB. Rolling buffer allows files of any size to be engraved.
  Air Assist:
Attach an air compressor to our included Air Assist to remove heat and combustible gases from the cutting surface by directing a constant stream of compressed air across the cutting surface.
  Laser Dashboard:
The Laser Dashboard™ controls your Epilog Laser’s settings from a wide range of software packages – from design programs to spreadsheet applications to CAD drawing packages.
  Red Dot Pointer:
Since the laser beam is invisible, the Red Dot Pointer on Epilog’s Mini and Helix Lasers allows you to have a visual reference for locating where the laser will fire.
  Relocatable Home:
When engraving items that are not easily placed at the top corner of the laser, you can set a new home position by hand with the convenient Movable Home Position feature on the Legend Series Lasers.
  Operating Modes:
Optimized raster, vector or combined modes.
  Motion Control System:
High-speed, continuous-loop, DC servo motors using linear and rotary encoder technology for precise positioning.
