    Upgrade to powerfull laser lamp (WkLaser)

    Hello,
    I've a LC1280 with 80W lamp bought from Wklaser and I'm wondering to upgrade it with a more powerfull laser lamp. I know that I will change the power supply and probably modify the machine so the lamp can fit.
    Did you know any site that sell laser lamp/power supply?How much can I improve Watts?150W?200W?
    Many thanks and sorry for my english

    You could upgrade to a 120W or perhaps 150W, but often the solution is to use 2 tubes and combining optics. I would suggest to look at the RF excited lasers, you would get better performance and life - but of course the cost if higher.

    Zax.

    Paride,

    Email wklaser.com They should be able to fix you up with a more powerful tube and matching power supply, and they can tell you if anything else is needed. Also check ebay.

    Paride,
    You can do this no problem,
    Look at changing to 120 w and power supply,
    Make sure you have a good chiller.
    Also ask about the 10,000 hour 150w tubes I am trialling these they will cut 3mm acrylic at 5.5 mtrs per min:banana:
    Fastest I,ve seen for a while
    Thanks Chris

    I've asked Wklaser for more powerfull tube and the suggested me the 100W tube because 130W could cause some problems (why?!).
    Can you tell me where I can find 150W tube and supply?!What machine did you have and how works these tubes?!
    Many thanks
