The newly evolved "Beambox II Laser Engraver and Cutter" boasts significant upgrades compared to its predecessor.
Not only does it have a larger work area, but the laser power has also been upgraded to 55W, resulting in more efficient engraving speeds and many convenient features. Let's take a look.
UnboxingBeambox II
The new Beambox II has significantly improved specifications, such as a 1.5 times larger work area, increasing from 40×37.5cm to 60×37.5cm, and a work depth increase from 80mm to 125mm. Therefore, the machine body has also become larger.
The original factory's packaging and cushioning measures are very thorough.
After unboxing, you can see the power cord interface and the main power switch at the rear of the machine body.
On the upper right side of the machine body, there is also a silver-textured daily use switch.
There is a USB port on the lower side of the machine body, which can be used to directly read files for engraving or cutting. The standard Wi-Fi connector is very convenient, allowing the device to connect directly to computers, tablets, mobile phones, and other devices via wireless network.
An emergency button can be seen on the side of the machine body, which is a very important device.
Whether at home, in a studio, or in a factory workshop, safety is paramount.
This button allows the user to immediately prevent any situation from worsening if any abnormality is found during operation.
There are also three air supply fans and one exhaust fan at the very back of the equipment.
During laser engraving and cutting, different materials may produce varying degrees of odor or even harmful gases.
By extending the air duct, the internal air can be expelled out the window, making the working environment safer and more comfortable.
After opening the top cover at the back of the machine body, you can see the Beambox II's water cooling system.
If the device shows a water cooling system error, simply replenish it with pure water from this location to keep it operational.
There is a 5-inch touch screen on top of the Beambox II, which can control most settings.
When you want to start a job, you can directly operate to read files from here, including updates and tests.
Clicking on the screen and entering the device interface's functional options allows you to test if each hardware component is operating normally.
Various functions can also be set within the device, or a password can be set to prevent incorrect operations.
When the machine malfunctions, tests can be performed from the hardware settings. Follow the displayed fault reason to test the equipment to eliminate errors.
Additionally, there is a network settings function. Many laser engravers and cutters on the market support wireless connections, but most require initial setup via a wired connection before wireless networking can be used, and sometimes unstable connections occur.
However, every FLUX device has a very stable wireless network connection, and there were no disconnections from the wireless connection during use.
Beambox II can choose between autofocus or manual focus adjustment, which can be done directly on the device.
When using autofocus, the focus probe needs to be moved down and then retracted upwards after focusing.
Autofocus is very convenient and can be completed with a single click. Thanks to theBeambox II's highly accurate autofocus, manual focusing is almost never needed, making this creative tool easy to master for both beginners and experienced users.
The Beambox II has a very large working window, allowing a complete and unobstructed view of the internal working area during operation.
This enables the operator to fully control the progress, quality, and detect any abnormalities during operation.
To prevent charring on the bottom of the cut object during cutting, theBeambox II has a very thick honeycomb panel built-in.
The 600x375mm large working area of the Beambox II allows users to place larger materials, leading to more creative possibilities.
The laser power of Beambox II has been significantly upgraded compared to the first-generationBeambox, increasing from the original 40W CO2 to 55W CO2, and the engraving speed has also greatly improved to 900mm/s.
The newly evolved 55Wlaser power allows users to cut 18mm cypress in one pass, and if combined with the focus reduction function, it can even successfully cut 20mm cypress.
Acrylic can also be cut smoothly to a thickness of 20mm with a high-quality, clean cut surface.
Beam Studio
Users can connect to Beambox II via Beam Studio, which can be operated smoothly on PC, tablet, or mobile phone.
The Beambox II's camera preview function, equipped with FLUX Lasers' built-in camera, allows users to directly preview the actual image of the object, confirm the actual position and cutting status, and the preview speed is five times faster than the previous generation.
Through this function, users can precisely align the image to be engraved or cut directly to the desired position, eliminating the need for tedious precise calculations like traditional laser engravers and cutters.
Beam Studio has built-in engraving settings for various common materials, which is very convenient.
Users can directly select cutting parameters and make minor adjustments based on their actual usage.
The focus reduction function can be found in the parameter settings.
This function allows the Beambox II to cut deeper than expected, by lowering the focal point to get closer to the object.
The maximum engraving resolution of Beambox II has evolved to 1000DPI, and it can be freely selected in the document settings ofBeam Studio.
AndBeam Studio has another important function, which is red light preview.
If the user feels that the image seen through the camera preview is not accurate enough, they can use the red light preview to confirm whether the cutting boundary is correct.
Beambox II is also the first FLUX model to feature both red light preview and camera preview functions.
After execution, the user can directly see the area where the red light is operating in the work area, maximizing the accuracy of the work.
Additionally, users can confirm the estimated completion time in Beam Studio.
So if you don't want to inhale fumes while working, you can just come back after the time is up.
Users can also bring a laptop or tablet and switch to the camera view to monitor the work in real time from other locations, preventing any issues during operation.
Beam Studio also has a powerful auto-alignment function that can automatically detect objects of the same size and intelligently import the pattern all at once.
This function eliminates the need for tedious, individual alignment settings when repeatedly engraving or cutting objects, leading to greater efficiency.
Expansion Accessories
The Beambox II not only has powerful native capabilities but also supports three expansion accessories, including wide-area engraving, a rotary axis with rollers, and a rotary axis with clamps.
The wide-area engraving kit allows the front and rear openings of the machine to be opened, and with the extended laser head of the wide-area engraving kit, users can place longer materials to create their works.
The clamp-style rotary axis kit can be paired with the expanded base box kit to engrave thicker objects.
Engraving round objects is also not a problem; simply attach the rotary axis kit and you can easily engrave.
Additionally, the clamp-style kit comes with different interchangeable clamp accessories to meet the actual needs of users.
In our actual testing process, both the Beambox II device itself and the Beam Studio software were very intuitive and easy to use.
Whether engraving wood or metal, the results were very clear and clean, and the entire process was smooth and fast.
The launch of the Beambox II laser engraver and cutter brings a brand new upgraded experience to laser engraving enthusiasts.
Compared to its predecessor, this new model has significant improvements in many aspects.
The Beambox II's upgrades in many areas make it a highlight in the laser engraving and cutting machine market, providing users with a more efficient and convenient operating experience.
