Single/Dual Laser Single Beam Mode
In the X-600 model, there is only one laser
present so the system will always operate in
Single Laser Single Beam mode. If you
have an X2-600 and only purchased one
laser, your system also operates the same
as the X-600, but gives you the opportunity
to add a laser in the future. X2-600 systems
with two lasers installed, operate in the Dual
Laser Single Beam mode where the system
will combine the two laser beams into one
beam that has the total wattage power of
both laser cartridges added together. For
example, if there are two, 50-watt laser
cartridges installed, the output in this mode
will be the same as a single 100-watt laser
cartridge.

RASTER RESULT
As the diagram of the raster engraving of t
letter “T” demonstrates, the net raster resu
will be a single-beam, bi-directional, one-
step-at-a-time engraving.
Dual Laser Dual Beam Mode
Only available in the SuperSpeed model, in
the printer driver, if the “Dual Beam”
checkbox
IS
selected, the system will
separate the two laser beams to produce
two separate raster engraving lines and
engrave them at the same time. When
raster engraving, the motion system steps
down twice the distance it normally does
and engraves the next two raster lines.
Since the CPU separately controls the
pulsing of each laser cartridge, the Dual
Beam mode provides faster throughput at
the same resolution settings a running the
system in Single Beam mode. Keep in mind
that the power settings you use will be about
the same as if in Single Beam mode. Each
laser will engrave their respective raster line
using its own power. For example, if there
are two, 50-watt Laser Cartridges installed,
the power output in this mode will be as if
you only had one 50-watt Laser Cartridge
that has throughput of two, 50-watt laser
systems running at the same time.
