Upgrading Your Laser Station: Essential Accessories & Hulpmiddelen

If you own a laser graveur, you already know it’s a powerful tool for creating precise markings, cutting designs, and personalizing a wide range of materials. But even the best laser machine can work smarter and faster with the right accessories.

Upgrading your laser station isn’t just about adding gadgets—it’s about improving productiviteit, nauwkeurigheid, en veiligheid. Whether you’re running a small workshop, a side hustle, or a professional engraving business, these tools can help you take your work to the next level.

In deze gids, we’ll explore the essential accessories and tools every laser engraving setup should consider.


1. Precision Workholding: Jigs, Fixtures & Roterend gereedschap

A stable workpiece means a cleaner engraving. Investing in proper workholding tools can dramatically reduce mistakes and save setup time.

1.1 Custom Jigs & Fixtures

  • Keep items perfectly aligned for batch production
  • Essential for small products like coins, pennen, or keychains
  • Material tip: Use acrylic or wood to create reusable jigs

1.2 Roterende bijlagen

  • Allows engraving on cylindrical objects like tumblers, mokken, en ringen
  • Available for fiberlasergraveerders En UV-lasergraveerders
  • ComMarker's rotary axis is a popular add-on for Omni 1 UV and B4/B6 fiber models

💡 Voor de tip: If you do high-volume production, consider quick-change fixtures to swap products in seconds.


2. Lens Upgrades & Field Lens Options

Jouw laser graveur’s lens determines engraving area, vlekgrootte, and detail level. Swapping lenses can optimize performance for different projects.

Lens SizeHet beste voorPluspuntenNadelen

💡 Aanbeveling: Keep multiple field lenses and switch as needed. ComMarker’s Omni 1 UV supports quick lens changes for maximum flexibility.


3. Exhaust & Fume Extraction Systems

Laser engraving can produce fumes, especially when working with plastics, hout, or coated metals.

  • Fume Extractors: Pull harmful particles away from your workspace
  • Inline Fans with Ducting: Direct fumes outside
  • Activated Carbon Filters: Neutralize odors

Waarom het ertoe doet: Clean air isn’t just about comfort—it’s about health and compliance with workplace safety regulations.



4. Design & Controlesoftware

While most laser engravers come with basic software, upgrading can unlock more advanced features.

  • LichtBranden: User-friendly with great vector editing tools
  • EZCAD2 & EZCAD3: Standard for fiber laser engravers, supports complex parameter control

5. Onderhoud & Cleaning Tools

A clean machine lasts longer and works more consistently.

  • Lens Cleaning Kits: Keep optics free of dust and debris

  • Lubricants: Maintain moving parts in gantry-style CO₂ engravers

💡 Never touch your lens with bare hands—use proper microfiber cloths and cleaning solutions.


6. Safety Equipment

Laser safety should always come first.

  • Laser Safety Glasses: Match the wavelength of your laser (bijv., 1064 nm for fiber, 355 nm for UV, 10,600 nm for CO₂)
  • Enclosures & Shields: Contain laser light and debris
  • Fire Extinguishers: Especially important for CO₂ laser cutting wood or acrylic
