Build your custom laser cutter or engraver on a safe, professional, and robust foundation with our essential Laser Cabinet drawing. This free MechStream download is the ultimate blueprint for DIY builders, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators. A proper laser cabinet is the most critical component for safety and performance. It not only provides a rigid frame for your motion gantry but also contains harmful laser radiation, manages fumes, and protects the operator.
Designing a light-tight and structurally sound enclosure is a complex challenge. This drawing package provides a complete, fabrication-ready plan, saving you hundreds of hours in R&D. It’s engineered from the ground up for safety and functionality, featuring a heavy-duty sheet metal design that forms a Class 1 laser-safe system. This allows you to build a machine that is safe to use without special protective eyewear in the room.
The download includes fully editable DWG, DXF, and PDF formats, compatible with any CAD software. You can easily adapt the design to fit your gantry size, laser tube, or specific components. Download this file today to accelerate your build and ensure your machine is safe, reliable, and professional from day one.
Características principales:
- Class 1 Safety Design: The sheet metal construction is fully detailed with overlapping joints and light-tight seams, designed to completely contain stray laser radiation.
- Integrated Fume Extraction: Features a pre-designed exhaust port (e.g., for a 4″ or 6″ duct) and an internal plenum to create efficient, even airflow across the workbed, removing smoke and fumes at the source.
- Laser-Safe Viewing Window: Includes the mounting design for a wavelength-specific, OD-rated acrylic or glass viewing window, allowing for safe observation of the process.
- Safety Interlock Mounts: Provides mounting points for lid and door safety interlock switches, a critical feature that automatically cuts laser power when the cabinet is opened.
- Component & Access Panels: Designed with a separate, ventilated bay for electronics (controller, drivers) and easy-access panels for laser tube maintenance and gantry service.
