FLUX Beamo II Desktop Colour Laser Cutter & Engraver

At the heart of the Beamo 2 is a 30W CO₂ glass laser tube operating at a wavelength of 10.6 μm. Unlike blue diode lasers, CO₂ technology can process clear as well as coloured acrylic, giving businesses and makers considerably more choice when producing signage, displays, models, prototypes and decorative products.

FLUX specifies cutting of acrylic up to 7 mm thick under suitable conditions, alongside materials including plywood, MDF, leather, cardboard, fabric and bamboo. The same laser can engrave materials including wood, acrylic, glass, stone, rubber and anodised metal, allowing one machine to cover a broad range of creative and commercial applications.

The Beamo 2 is designed to reduce the setup normally associated with laser cutting. Its built-in autofocus system measures the material height and positions the laser at the correct working distance, helping users move between materials without repeatedly setting focus by hand.

An integrated 8MP camera provides a visual preview of the material inside the machine, allowing artwork to be positioned directly over the workpiece in Beam Studio. A visible red-light preview can also show the planned processing area before the laser begins, providing another useful alignment check for valuable or pre-cut materials.

The optional 2W 1064 nm infrared laser module extends the Beamo 2 beyond conventional CO₂ applications. It can directly mark compatible metals including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, gold, silver, iron and titanium, as well as selected engineering plastics and opaque acrylic.

This gives users two different laser technologies within the same machine platform. The standard CO₂ source can handle cutting and general engraving, while the infrared module can be installed when a project requires finer permanent marking on compatible metal surfaces.

The Beamo 2 can be expanded with a range of optional accessories. The Extension Base increases the available workpiece depth to as much as 155 mm, providing additional clearance for taller objects and enabling compatible rotary accessories to engrave bottles, tumblers, glasses and other cylindrical products.

For longer flat materials, the optional Auto Feeder can extend the processing length to as much as 1,000 mm. This allows designs to extend significantly beyond the standard work area and opens up applications such as longer signs, panels and repeated production work. Appropriate safety procedures must be followed when operating configurations that change the machine's laser classification.
