    HL-50E, Fiber Laser Marking Machine

    ____________________________

    The Haas HL-50E is a fully enclosed, infrared fiber laser marking machine that combines advanced photonics and fiber optic technology to offer precise laser marking capabilities to your production line.

    Equipped with an optical fiber cable instead of the typical series of lenses to concentrate and amplify the high-output, diode-generated light through a converging lens, the resulting laser beam is straighter, smaller, and more precise than other types of laser marking machines, with greater electrical efficiency and comparatively low operating costs.

    This machine is suitable for most metallic materials and alloys, such as steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, silver, and iron, as well as some non-metallic materials, allowing it to be applicable across a wide range of industries—ideal for small and large manufacturing operations alike.

    ATTENTION! Haas laser marking machines are equipped with an integrated fume extractor designed to remove harmful fumes and particulates generated during laser operation. Additionally, the machines feature laser safety windows to filter hazardous light rays. Operating the machine without the factory-provided fume extractor or with the laser safety windows unlocked and open may pose serious health and safety risks due to exposure to fumes, particulates, and/or harmful light rays.

    Efficient & Powerful Fiber Laser Head

    Laser machines have three main components: an energy source, a laser medium, and an optical resonator.

    The energy source, or pump source, is how a laser produces its energy – typically in the form of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This energy is pumped into a laser gain medium that is contained in a reflective, mirrored cavity, known as the optical resonator, designed to redirect the majority of a laser’s energy back into the system.

    This optical “feedback” or recirculation amplifies the generated light energy into a beam head, consisting of a beam expander and a converging lens, which produces the final, laser beam output.

    Fiber laser machines like the HL-50E are equipped with a fiber optic cable that acts as the laser medium, producing a high output power compared to standard diode lasers, which typically use laser mediums in the form of crystal or glass. Likewise, the optical resonators in fiber lasers are constructed by fusion splicing different types of optical fiber, end-to-end; fiber Bragg gratings replace the series of conventional, dielectric mirrors to provide the necessary optical feedback for laser production.

    Fiber lasers also maintain a higher-quality beam due to the natural waveguide properties of fiber optic, which have a tendency to restrict light waves to one direction. Fiber lasers are recognized across the industry for being incredibly efficient in converting electrical energy to laser light, and are generally unmatched in cutting/marking speed and cycle time.

    LightBurn Compatibility

    Customize your creative assets exactly how you want in LightBurn.

    LightBurn is a native application written specifically for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, and is one of the most common layout, editing, and control software offered for laser machines.

    Artwork, graphics, decals, and similar elements can be imported in a variety of common vector graphic and image formats; arrange, edit, and even create new vector shapes to best suit your needs.

    Within LightBurn, settings like Laser Power, Frequency, Speed, Number of Passes, etc. can be easily adjusted on the fly to optimize the output of your laser.

    This comes preinstalled in the HL-50E’s integrated Windows 11 desktop, so no need to hunt for related drivers or software, just import your graphics and start marking!

    Easy Calibration

    Installed a new F-Theta lens and need to recalibrate?

    Typically, after setting up a new lens, a laser machine requires recalibration. Fortunately, the HL-50E makes this a pain-free process.

    After installing the new lens, simply set up a sample workpiece on the table, and adjust the height of the laser head until the resulting marking is crisp and clear. When the laser head is at the optimal height, loosen the bolts on either laser pointer, so that both pointers mark the same location on the table.

    Retighten the bolts, and the two-point laser focus system should be properly calibrated to the new lens. When you switch to a different height workpiece, simply lower the laser lens until the two laser pointers meet again, and the correct lens height will be maintained. Some further adjustment may be required to fine-tune your marking/engraving results.

    Different lenses affect your spot size, the depth of focus, laser density, and your effective working area.

    LightBurn - Lens Focusing & Calibration Tools

     

    NOTE: The last digits marked on each respective laser lens are a rough estimate of the correct focal length for that lens. Each lens requires a different minimum marking distance.

    Refer to the machine layout drawing for more detailed specifications.

    Integrated Fume Extractor

    Filter out harmful laser fumes and byproducts with the integrated fume extractor.

    Many health and safety hazards become present with the fumes generated from laser marking, cutting, and welding machines, with the severity being dependent on the material that is being cut.

    Based on an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), OSHA has specified the permissible exposure limits for the various fumes/dust generated by laser cutting metal materials under OSHA 1910 Subpart Z – Toxic and Hazardous Substances.

    The HL-50E’s integrated fume extractor is specifically designed to extract and remove up to 99.97% of the various harmful fumes that are generated from the laser cutting process, and is assembled with four included filter elements:

    • 09-0838 - (1 wk. - 2 mo.) Primary Cotton Filter
    • 09-0839 - (3 mo. - 6 mo.) Polypropylene (PP) Filter
    • 09-0840 - (3 mo. - 6 mo.) Glass Fiber Filter
    • 09-0841 - (3 mo. - 6 mo.) Activated Carbon Filter

    We recommend replacing the filter elements per the time intervals specified above and in the HL-50E service manual. Additional filter elements can be purchased at HaasTooling.com.

    Explore Your Creative Potential

    Mark and engrave a variety of materials--the choice is yours.
