Thunder Laser
Bolt Plus 24
Laser Cutter and Engraver
60 W RF CO₂ LaserMain Applications
- Higher-volume processing of tumblers and drinkware.
- Batch production of 24-inch sheets.
- Hat patch manufacturing.
- For users who need higher speed, power, and a larger working area but are not ready to switch to full-sized models.
Why do professional users choose the Thunder Laser Bolt?
Dual-stage air assist for cleaner processing
The dual-stage air assist clears processing debris and reduces charring, helping to improve cutting edges and engraving results while reducing the need for masking and post-processing cleaning.
Higher engraving speeds
Maximum engraving speed increased to 2,000 mm/s. Combined with 5G acceleration, it supports higher-volume engraving tasks.
Larger workspace for batch production
The 24 × 16-inch (60cm x 40cm) working area accommodates larger materials and is convenient for using jigs to arrange workpieces for batch processing.
Enhanced studio safety
Built-in safety features, a fully enclosed chassis, and integrated exhaust, combined with enclosed side rails, provide protection for daily processing.
RF laser for fine engraving
The RF metal laser source allows for rapid beam switching, making it ideal for fine text, marking, and high-detail engraving. When paired with a 1.5-inch lens, the maximum resolution is 2,000 DPI.
High-speed precision engraving
A maximum engraving speed of 2,000 mm/s balances processing efficiency with detail presentation. Actual working speeds depend on materials and processing settings.
Intuitive touch controls
A 5-inch touch screen can be used to manage settings, adjust parameters, and execute tasks, facilitating convenient daily operations.
