xTool S1

I’m a big fan of enclosure laser engravers at the moment, mainly for safety reasons, which is a trend in the industry. First-class laser equipment will also be more compliant with the safety regulations of each country. In the laser machine industry, more and more machines are using higher power laser modules, but not all of them prioritise critical safety features. This is why the xTool S1 is the world’s first 40W sealed diode laser cutter.

To meet these challenges, xTool’s research and development team invested nearly a year in creating a state-of-the-art, high-power, sealed semiconductor laser engraver and cutter. The machine combines the adaptability of open semiconductor models, such as interchangeable laser heads, with the intelligent enclosed advantages of CO2 models. That’s why I’d like to introduce you to the new xTool S1.

The xTool S1 features a fully enclosed, fire-resistant shell design that ensures no laser leakage. A large, highly transparent cover provides excellent dual wavelength filtering (diode laser and 1064nm infrared laser), freeing you from cumbersome safety goggles while allowing you to clearly observe every step of the process.

The xTool S1 protects your health with a powerful fume extraction function. It is also equipped with an extremely powerful active exhaust fan that quickly removes harmful gases generated during the laser process, ensuring your safety and health.

The xTool S1 box laser engraver is available in two versions, which is reflected in the difference in the output power of the laser modules that the machine is equipped with. As we can see, it has two laser heads, the S1 40W and the S1 20W.

The 40W laser module uses eight 6W laser sources compressed to 40W to achieve high power cutting efficiency comparable to CO2 machines and can cut solid wood up to 18mm. Considering the different needs of users, xTool also offers a more competitively priced S1 20W version of the machine.

If you need to engrave on metal or plastic, you can also choose the optional xTool infrared laser head with a 1064nm wavelength. From wood, leather and stainless steel to plastics, precious metals, acrylics and almost any other common material, it handles it all with ease and creates the perfect piece.

In terms of engraving speed, the xTool S1 achieves an incredible 600mm/s, giving you a further boost in productivity.

When it comes to laser focus technology, the xTool has always been excellent. With the addition of the focusing algorithm on the xTool S1, the new encoder combined with the algorithm creates a coordinate system-like precision for the entire scene layout, which is visualised in the software and shows the real-time position of the laser module. The two-point positioning determines the working area of the material from the position of the laser module and displays this area in real time in the software. Easily and accurately place patterns within the working area of the material and experience unmatched positioning accuracy and simplicity beyond traditional positioning methods.

The S1 features an advanced Intelligent Focus System that enables high-precision multi-point measurement and automated 3D object modelling. The motorised Z-axis dynamically adjusts the focus in real time during machining, ensuring meticulous precision. Achieve an engraving effect as flawless as on a flat surface.

The xTool S1 is equipped with an Automatic Conveyor Feeder that supports large scale operations. It extends the processing dimensions from 498*330mm to 498*∞mm with automatic pass-through, ensuring precise and effortless handling of expansive materials for both engraving and cutting.
