8-Beam FAC Compressed Laser – 44–48W Optical Power, 0.10×0.15mm Spot
The Ray5 40W compresses eight diode beams via FAC optics into a 0.10×0.15mm spot with 44–48W measured optical output — not nameplate watts, but actual light power at the material surface. Single-pass: 20mm basswood / 0.15mm stainless steel. Maximum capability: 30mm pine.
The 0.10×0.15mm spot enables 256-bit grayscale engraving with fine-line detail and high-contrast output on wood, leather, and coated metals. Multi-color engraving on stainless steel and coated metal surfaces is achievable via controlled oxidation at varying power and speed settings.
