The new Axiom CNC laser by J Tech Photonics raises the bar in CNC accessory lasers. Precision laser-trimmed regulators for constant current to the laser, 0.01 tuning resolution, digital isolation, soft start, ESD protection, current limiting, and the list goes on….But we have safety in mind as well! The US Federal Government has a list of things that are required for operating these high-power class 4 lasers. 

This kit includes:

 • 4.2W 445nm Laser in Custom Protective Housing and Mount

 • 2.5 Amp Adjustable Safety Compliant Laser Diode Driver with Pre-Wired Connections

 • Power Adapter 12V 2.5A, US-Style Plug

 • Laser Safety Goggles for 445nm Lasers

 • Laser Extension Cables

The laser unit does not allow for software variability of output intensity. Therefore greyscale is not supported.

Laser Overview

This is the strongest available laser offered on the market. We set the current to the maximum level recommended by the manufacturer to achieve a high level of power while still allowing for maximum lifetime.

Driver Overview
This is the fourth generation of the popular High Current Laser Diode Driver series. We designed this new generation to follow the federal guidelines for safety compliance for high power Class 4 laser operation. This includes the use of a key enable switch, safety interlock system, power off reset, and laser LED indicators. All of these features make for a safer laser operation and will comply with federal laws regulating such operations.
