The LIHUIYU M2 Nano Laser Controller Set is a comprehensive solution for controlling laser engraving and cutting machines, featuring a motherboard, a control panel, and necessary accessories. This system is designed to provide robust and flexible control over various laser operations, from carving and cutting to image engraving and slow marking.

Function Description:

The core of the system is the M2 Nano Laser Controller Motherboard, which serves as the central processing unit for all laser operations. It interfaces with the machine's stepper motors, laser power supply, and limit switches. The motherboard is a square port USB interface, enabling seamless communication with a computer for sending engraving data and receiving commands. It supports a wide range of functions including carving, cutting, image engraving, and slow marking, making it versatile for different applications.

A key feature of the M2 motherboard is its ability to handle an unlimited number of engraving data, ensuring that complex and large-scale projects can be managed without data overflow issues. It also boasts advanced data management capabilities, such as support for USB dropped breakpoints, allowing operations to resume from where they left off in case of an interruption. This feature is complemented by USB dropped detection and support for accidental breakpoints, enhancing reliability and reducing material waste. The system also supports unlimited engraving formats, offering flexibility in design and file compatibility.

The M2 Controller Panel provides a user-friendly interface for direct control and monitoring of laser operations. It includes a digital display for showing the laser energy percentage, allowing operators to precisely set the laser power. Dedicated buttons are available for adjusting laser energy settings, with a fine accuracy of 0.1% within a range of 0% to 99.9%. The panel also features a "Turn Off the Laser" function, which can be activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously for emergency stops or to pause operations. Pressing any button again restores the original data, allowing for quick resumption. A laser status indicator provides visual feedback on the current operational state of the laser, and a test button is included for diagnostic purposes or quick power checks. The panel connects directly to the laser power supply, integrating seamlessly into the overall system.
