Longer RAY5 40W Laser Engraver Cutter — 15.16"×15.16" Work Area, Fast Precise Dual-Beam

The Longer RAY5 is a 40W tabletop laser engraver and cutter with a 15.16"×15.16" working area designed for fast, precise multi-material engraving and heavy single-pass cutting.

The RAY5 combines an upgraded 40W optical laser module, a self-developed 32-bit motherboard, and advanced dual-beam mechanics to deliver industrial-style capability in a compact desktop footprint. It’s built to handle demanding maker, small-business, and prototyping tasks with features for speed, repeatability, and multiple safety layers—while remaining compatible with popular engraving software and offline workflows.

How powerful is the RAY5 for cutting and which materials can it handle?

The RAY5’s 40W optical output and laser enhancement technology allow serious cutting depth in a single pass and precise, fine-detail engraving. Expect clean cuts through many common materials and extremely fine marking on metals and plastics.

• Single-pass cutting: up to 20 mm (0.78") wood and 30 mm (1.18") black acrylic.
• Fine metal marking: precision cut on 0.15 mm (0.006") stainless steel.
• Suitable for: wood, acrylic, leather, certain plastics, coated metals for marking.
• Air-assist option reduces charring and improves cut-edge quality.

How fast and detailed are the engraving results?

RAY5 reaches speeds up to 24,000 mm/min thanks to its dual-beam design, which means quicker project turnaround without sacrificing detail. A 256-bit colour scale and a focused 0.08 × 0.1 mm laser spot enable higher contrast and fine-line fidelity for multi-tone and multi-colour engraving tasks.

• Engraving speed: up to 24,000 mm/min for rapid production.
• Ultra-fine focus area: 0.08 × 0.1 mm for delicate detail and crisp edges.
• 256-bit colour scaling for richer grayscale and tone transitions.
• Reserved air-assist interface for cleaner surfaces during cutting.

What controls, connectivity, and software does it support?

Designed for flexible workflows, the RAY5 supports four connection modes—USB, TF card, Wi-Fi, and a mobile app—and can run offline, which is handy for workshops without a constant computer connection. It’s compatible with both free and paid engraving programs so you can choose software that fits your experience and budget.

• Connections: USB, TF card, Wi-Fi, and dedicated app control.
• Compatible software: LaserBurn, LaserGRBL (free), LightBurn (paid).
• Offline mode supported for standalone operation.
• Multi-machine control: one device can manage several machines simultaneously.

What safety and durability features protect users and projects?

The unit includes several protective systems to reduce risk during operation and support continuous use. From emergency stop hardware to thermal and motion protections, the RAY5 is built to handle long production runs while minimizing hazards.

• Emergency Stop Device for immediate shutdown in emergencies.
• Thermal protection and move-detection auto-shutdown for abnormal conditions.
• Protective glasses included and an engineered move-protection design.
• Rated for 24/7 operation and multi-machine control for high throughput.

Who is this for: The Longer RAY5 suits makers, small fabrication shops, jewellery and signage producers, educators, and serious hobbyists who need a compact but capable laser that blends deep single-pass cutting, very fine engraving detail, fast throughput, and multiple connectivity options. If you want commercial-grade cutting on thicker materials alongside precise multi-tone engraving and safety features for extended runs, the RAY5 is a strong choice.
