Yes. Our Nova laser systems come preset and tested through our quality assurance program. Thunder Laser machines come with a water chiller, air compressor, exhaust fan, tool box with all accessories needed to set up and run.
As long as you know how to design jobs in graphic software, it just takes a few hours for you to become a master of laser machine.
You just need to do some tests to know what speed and power is good for different materials. Since we’ve provided some of the
parameter library, it will save you more time.
You can watch the guiding videos from our website to learn how to use the machine in advance too.

No, our laser machine can do both cutting and engraving very well.
You just need one machine for both kinds of jobs.
yes, every machine will wear. However, you don’t have to worry about that. The machine will be working normally at least 2-5 years.
After that, you may need to change the parts. And all the parts can be replaced. We will charge at a fair price.
Higher watt tube with more power can cut thicker materials, or we can say, for cutting same material, higher watt tube can achieve faster speed.
However, theoretically speaking, the lower watt tube with smaller laser power, which is better for engraving. Usually we suggest 40-80 for engraving, 100-130w for cutting.
Yes, we have maximum 130watt laser power for your choice.
the standard model is 10CM diameter, for the detail, please check our website:
The standard focus lens is 2”; there is 4″ for your choice.
Shorter focus lens will have smaller final beam diameter. That’s why it is better for engraving good quality photos.
And longer focus lens is better for cutting thicker materials.
For a laser with less than 80W and clean engraving jobs I would recommend the Silicon-Mirrors because they have the best
reflectivity (>99%).
For a laser who is doing very dirty work (cutting wood 8 hours a day) or working with aggressive chemicals I would recommend the
Molybdenum-Mirror. The reflection coating (there is no coating, the Molybdenum is just polished) is very resistant and can get cleaned
very easily. Even if the reflectivity is only at 98.5%, the Mo-Mirror is almost unbreakable.
Yes. We have
Open flap protection switch, the laser will stop working if you open the front cover. Water protection, Laser will stop working if the water cooling system is not working normal. Emergency stop, Turn off the machine immediately when there’s accident happen. Alarm Lamp, show the work state and tell when the job is done. Heat Alarm detector, the laser machine will warming with loudly voice if cutting material catch fire.
There’s an exhaust fan comes with the machine.
Yes, Red dot laser pointer is standard feature of all Nova machines.
See below detail: https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/features/red-dot-pointer-for-nova-system.html
The normal color of the laser beam is purple while working. When a tube is dying, the color will become white.
Usually, the power of the tube is decided by two parameters:
1. The length of the tube, the longer the tube is the more powerful.
2. The diameter of the tube, the bigger the tube is the more powerful.
No, we don’t suggested that.
A more powerful supply may damage the laser tube.
There are two ways to adjust the focus.
1) You can adjust the laser head manually
2) Use a motorized up/down table (auto focus)
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/features/auto-focus-for-nova-system.html
Yes, the co2 tube is controlled by the power supply. And the power supply is controlled by the controller. And you can set the power
rating easily in the software.
High resolution Attachment will make the laser dot smaller, thus you can have much better engraving quality.it is used to engrave
extremely high quality photos. For detail, please see
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/features/high-resolution-laser-head.html
For the engraving distance,
With standard 2″ laser head, the distance between laser head and material is 5mm-6.5mm.
If cutting thick material and 6mm distance does not give a good result, you can try adjusting the distance down to about 5mm. For
details, please contact with our tech person.
For cutting some thick materials, it is correct.
But when engraving on some materials, it’s better to use less powerful air pressure.
The normal life tube of a laser tube is about 2500-4000 hours according to how you use it.
Yes, footstand of desktop laser machine is an option. We will take it apart for shipping and you can set it up with screw later on.
Here’s the size information of Nova machine:
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/nova-laser-system
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/desktop-laser-cutter
Usually it’s suggested to leave about 200mm space for the backside to install the exhaust pipe.
For the other sides, need about 100mm for each, but when you need to replace the parts of the machine, please move it out to a wide place.
The USB connection is on the right side of the machine, please have a look at the pic.
Yes, we have pass-through door design for our machine:
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/how-to-use-your-machine/pass-through-door-design.html
You have to replace a new tube when it’s no longer working.
It’s not cost-efficient to recharging a co2 glass tube.
Usually we will pack it well and it’s seldom out of alignment,
Once it happens, we have video and lesson to guiding you how to align the laser beam:
If the beam is a small round dot, then it is perfect,
but in fact, most of the beam are close to round dot.
If you just realign the parts without reading our technical lesson or guiding video,
It’s unsafe indeed even you wear laser safety glasses,
However, if you realign them by following our lesson and video step by step,
It’s not so dangerous,
And to make it safer, you can wear a pair of laser safety glasses,
Please note the most important thing is: familiar with the process of lesson and video.
No unsafe materials, and yes, they can be disposed of safety.
According to our customers’ feedback, life for the belts should be at least 3-5year.
When you find it is loose, you can adjust it by reading our user manual and watch guiding video:
Yes, machine will get dirty after using for a period time,
Then you should clean and maintain it frequently.
For how to clean the machine and make maintenance,
Please read our user manual from page 47-56.
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/download/down/User’s_manual_for_NOVA24.pdf
For cutting thick material (usually more than 10mm),
4″ lens is good for getting a more straight/smooth edge, but it does not mean you can cut more depth.
For exhausting the air outside,
standard length for the hoses is about 6m
is it ok for you?
if not, can you please tell me how long do you need?
I think we can offer special hoses to you,
for outputting the air,
it’s depend on your material,
if you use the laser for cutting wood/acrylic/leather/fabric, etc.,
it’s ok, no dangerous, but some or less smell I think.
and material like PVC/Vinyl contains chlorine are not suggested to cut with laser.
(its fume dangerous for human health and will corrode the machine.)
Please find below link for how to move the laser cutter into your house, thanks.
No need. We’ve added a parameter library in the software, once you find out what settings is best for a certain material;
you can record it in the parameter library. Next time you cut the same material, you just need to read it from the list.
Both ok, as long as your operating system is Windows XP/2000/Vista/7/8/10.
Our laser runs on Windows XP/2000/Vista/7/8/10 both 32bits and 64bits system.
But it does not run on Mac OS.
CorelDraw and AutoCAD are suggested. You can design all your artworks in these two software and then send to the RDWorksV8
software to set the parameters easily.
JPG, PNG, BMP, PLT, DST, DXF, CDR, AI, DSB, GIF, MNG, TIF, TGA,
PCX, JP2, JPC, PGX, RAS, PNM, SKA, RAW
Yes, you can take a photo by using a camera and then load the photo to the software directly and engrave it.
Yes, we welcome you to send us a file and we will make a sample for you to have a look.
Yes, you can start the software without laser machine.
The corner power should be less than the max power, since the laser head moves slower at corners. For how much less, it is best to do
some tests until you find the best one.
Yes, it’s ok to use files from Adobe Illustrator, but you will need to export it as DXF format. Then our software can load it directly.
Yes, it does support AI plug-in. However, at present, almost all Chinese Laser software cannot support AI plug-in very well. Sometimes
there’re some unknown problems if you use AI plug-in directly.
We would suggest you to export your AI files as DXF format, then our software can support it perfectly.
For CorelDraw X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 our machine can support it directly.
DXF format, but there’s plug-in for coreldraw, so you can switch from coreldraw to our laser software directly.
Yes and no.
Our laser machines can engrave on anodized metal and painted metal directly.
But it cannot engrave on bare metal directly. (This laser can only engrave on a few parts of bare metals directly by using the HR
attachment at a very low speed)
If you need to engrave on bare metal, we would suggest you to use thermark spray.
www.thermark.com
Max cutting thickness for acrylic：
40watt：10mm
60watt：13mm
80watt：18mm
100watt: 20mm
130watt: 25mm
Yes, our laser engrave 3D, like relief.
See below video:
https://www.thunderlaser.co.nz/what-laser-cutter-can-create/3d-laser-engraving.html
No, for cutting metal, you will need at least 200watt laser.
We only focus on cutting non-metals at present.
However, by using a thermark spray. Our laser can also engrave on metals.
Yes, please download from below link directly
Yes, we can cut POM. Please tell us the thickness, we will recommend you a well machine.
For the workable materials, please learn the details from our website:
Please do not cut any material containing chlorine like PVC, Vinyl, etc. and other toxic material.
when heated releases chlorine gas.
This gas is toxic and poses a health risk as well as being very corrosive and harmful to your laser.
Yes, please check attachment picture.
Yes, normally cast acrylic is better than extruding acrylic for laser processing.
We didn’t test for engraving photos on metal with Thermark before,
and according to our experience, we think it should be not so good,
as you know metal become black after engrave with laser,
for engraving word, logo and simple pattern, it’s good to see it clear,
however, for engraving photos, I am afraid it’s hard to get a gray scale photo .
Yes, Anodized Aluminum is the best material for engraving photos.
and Color Anodized Aluminum is the best among the Anodized Aluminum sheets.
then Acrylic, ABS is also very good if you have a good quality ABS,
(ABS is a kind of plastic, some ABS will be bend after heat by laser).
No, our laser(co2 laser) can only engrave on surface of material/glass/crystal,
Yes, you can do more than one cut, but usually it’s not suggested to cut twice. Most of the time, one cut will get the best cutting quality.
The material we paste on glass is just a kind of common tissue paper,
since it help us to get a more smooth surface, (no so much rag)
it’s ok, you really needn’t worry about the paper, you just need to make it wet,
and then paste on the surface of glass you want to engrave.
for Thermark, yeah, it’s useful for engraving on metal,
and after you get the laser job down, you can tear the Thermark off,
(there’re 3 types of Thermark, you can visit their website if you like to learn more)
then you can get a clear pattern/words on metal.
