Features of Epilog’s Legend Laser Machines
You simply won't find more feature-filled laser machines than those in the Legend series. Each feature has been designed with you in mind, and how you can get the most from the laser. You'll find features that improve connection capabilities, simplify project setup, and much more.
We design, engineer and manufacture all of our laser systems in our headquarters in Golden, CO, USA.
The motion control provides higher detail engraving, even at the fastest speeds.
Known for their incredibly fast acceleration/deceleration and faster turnaround speeds on each engraved line.
Synchronizes the firing of the laser at incredibly small increments of .02 mm.
Lenses that are rated to an incredibly high 500 watts and can last the life of the laser system.
Designed to last the life of the system without the inevitable wobble and replacement of plastic bearings.
Precision drive belts are made from the sturdiest, B-Style Kevlar to provide superior accuracy and carriage speeds.
The motorized table can easily be moved up and down to fit a wide variety of engraving materials and products.
Included with each Legend System, the Vector Cutting Table provides better cutting quality.
Hold down thin, warped materials with the Vacuum Hold-Down Table by drawing air down through the table.
No additional, expensive lens package needed for the highest resolution engraving (Mini 24/Helix).
The all-metal tube design provides higher beam quality and longer life with low recharge costs.
Improve job processing times and workflow with integrated on board 64MB of RAM in the legend laser machines.
With computer controlled variable-speed cooling fans, the Legend series is the quietest-operating laser machine in its class.
We've designed the Legend series for easy cleanup with an integrated crumb tray. Simply remove the crumb tray and dispose of the debris after laser cutting.
How We Design the Laser Machines for the Easiest Project Setup
Provides a visible laser beam for setting up projects to determine exactly where the laser will fire.
Attach to a compressor to direct a constant stream of air across the cutting surface.
Automatically sets the correct table height for your lens to achieve the highest detail engraving and cutting.
The 3D mode adjust the power applied to the material based on the grayscale in the artwork, creating stunning 3D designs.
Quickly and easily load a sheet of parts or sheet of material onto the laser engraving or cutting work area.
A new home position allows you to work from any point on the engraving table, not just the upper left corner.
Easily map different speed and power settings to different colors in your file in both engraving and cutting modes.
All Legend Series lasers come standard with a high-speed, 10 Base T-Ethernet connection as well as USB.
User-friendly print driver allows you to control all of the laser's features from one interface. No need for proprietary or special RIP software.
Easily create custom one-off rubber stamps by adjusting the shoulder, width, and fence settings.
The Helix features an included stand that has easily accessible shelves to hold your Cutting Table and Task Plate.
Test your speed and power settings by adjusting them with the control panel at the laser machine.
Accessories for the Legend Laser Series
Available for all Epilog Legend systems, the Rotary Attachment adds the ability to engrave bottles, glasses, flashlights, and other cylindrical items.
Specially designed for our entire line of Legend lasers, it has been built to accommodate a large variety of shapes and sizes. The attachment easily adjusts for different lengths and will even rotate cylinders that have different diameters on each end.
So intuitive and easy to use, you can change from one glass to the next in seconds without removing the attachment from the engraver. Additionally, our proprietary design provides accurate image scaling without the need to input diameter or circumference calculations.
Photo processing software that optimizes your photographs for engraving on a variety of materials.
PhotoLaser Plus takes photo engraving with your Epilog Legend series laser to the next level by easily processing photos for engraving on all types of materials.
Are you looking for a system that engraves outstanding photographs? How about a system that engraves photos in a consistent, predictable way for your customers?
Epilog Laser has partnered with CADLink to bring you the industry’s best photo processing software: PhotoLaser Plus. The easy-to-use software interface and powerful photo processing tools allow you to create the highest-quality photo engravings in the industry.
In addition to the 2.0" lens, we offer special lenses for specific applications.
1.5" Lens: Highest-Resolution Engraving
Although the standard 2.0 inch lens provides amazing detail, our 1.5-inch lens assembly has been designed for the highest-resolution engraving and etching of extremely small fonts.
4.0" Lens: Cutting Thicker Materials and Inside Deep Areas
The 4.0 inch lens produces a focused beam over a longer vertical distance, which makes it ideal when engraving within a recessed area of a product, such as inside a bowl or plate. The lens is also used for cutting through very thick materials.
An easy to use stand for moving your laser around your workspace. While the Helix comes with an included stand, the Mini 18 and Mini 24 are desktop units with an optional stand. If you prefer to have a free-standing system, you can add this wheeled cart specially designed for the Mini Laser line to your machine. It allows you to quickly move your machine throughout your work environment.
Raise and support your cutting materials for better edge quality. The Pin Table incorporates movable pins that can be placed anywhere along the table's grid of one inch (25.4 mm) spaced holes. The movable pins also allow the user to raise and support the cutting material in locations where the laser will not be cutting, providing a means of eliminating backside reflection. The table also allows you to place pins to support parts that would normally fall out of the cutting pattern. A handy removable surface plate makes the task of cleaning up small parts easy without removing the Pin Table.
Blows a constant stream of air on the cutting area. Epilog's optional Air Assist Pump is available to work with the included Air Assist features of the laser systems. Direct a constant stream of air to your cutting surface to remove heat and combustible gases from the work area.
This high-quality air compressor unit feeds 30 psi of air through the Air Assist structure, giving you the best cutting results available. The rubber vibration-dampening feet reduce the noise level of the compressor, and connection is a breeze with our quick-connect inlet and outlet ports on the compressor and the laser system.
