Product overview

LONGER's laser range includes RAY5 and B1 machines alongside smaller and more specialized formats. The B1 listing offers several power variants and a large rectangular working area. Those specifications are only part of the decision. Start with the materials and job sizes you want to process, then assess whether your workspace and chosen machine can support that work appropriately.

Match the laser to the material

LONGER distinguishes diode-laser applications from infrared options for bare-metal engraving. Its catalogue describes diode use for materials such as wood and coated metals, with separate infrared modules for other tasks. Marking a surface, engraving into it and cutting through it are different outcomes. Confirm the exact material and process against the model's official documentation before buying.

Look beyond the headline power

The B1 page lists 20W, 30W and 40W options and a 450 × 440mm working area. Treat manufacturer speed and cutting-depth figures as published specifications, not results verified by this website. Compare the thickness, finish and throughput of your intended jobs, and check the accessories included in the specific bundle rather than assuming every photograph shows the standard set.

Plan the complete workshop setup

LONGER lists software options including LightBurn, LaserGRBL and its own tools. Confirm operating-system and model support, plus any separate software licence. Its guidance also calls for ventilation, appropriate protective equipment and attended operation. Allow room and budget for the manufacturer's recommended enclosure, extraction and workholding setup; the machine footprint alone does not describe the whole workspace.

Feature highlights
