Epilog Laser
In 1988 Epilog Laser became the very first manufacturer
of small-format laser engraving systems. Epilog’s
revolutionary systems opened the world’s eyes, not only to
what could be accomplished with a laser, but how easy a laser
is to use. After many firsts in laser technology, Epilog is proud
to still be known throughout the world as the name in small-
format laser systems.

Epilog Laser has grown immensely over the past two decades,
but the core values that were the foundation of our company
have remained the same. We’re proud to say that the world’s
best performing and most reliable laser systems are 100%
designed, engineered, manufactured and serviced from our
world headquarters in Golden, CO.

We are committed to:

Features Designed to Make Job Setup Quick and Easy
Ethernet/USB/Wireless Networking
There has never been a laser system that’s as easy to set up as an Epilog. All
Epilog Laser systems are true network devices with a true Ethernet connection
(16 times faster than USB connectivity), a USB connection, or you can even
connect wirelessly through a router. We’ve designed the laser to work like a Ethernet USB Wireless
printer, while being safe enough to use in an office environment.

Design Your Project in the Software Of Your Choice

We’ve designed the lasers to work with the best graphic design program available - the one you’re already using! Our open-
architecture software design allows you to use almost any Windows® -based software to design your projects, so you’re
spending your time learning to engrave and cut, not learning new software. CorelDRAW, Illustrator, Photoshop, AutoCAD,
and many other programs can all be used to create your designs. What does this mean to you? Flexibility. Anyone that can
operate a computer can operate the laser. There’s no long, expensive training process required to keep your laser running.

Project Positioning Features

For the easiest project positioning, we’ve designed the systems
with Moveable Home Positioning and Center/Center
Engraving. For unusual shapes or complex projects you can move
your carriage by hand to create a custom home position anywhere
on the table. You can also choose your own reference point using
top-left, center-center or any position you choose.

Product Ideas: Project Samples from Epilog

Are you looking for after-purchase support? Each month Epilog
will send you engraving and cutting project ideas you can develop
or incorporate into your own product lines. Create samples for
your office with the free downloads in our Sample Club. If you’re
interested in ongoing training, check out our Virtual Training
Suite, Technical Library, and Educational Clinics outlining
how to get the most from your laser.

Auto Focus and Air Assist

Epilog provides Auto Focus and Air Assist as standard features
throughout our Legend Elite Series. Air Assist is most commonly used in
vector cutting applications to remove heat and combustible gases from the
cutting surface. By directing a constant stream of compressed air across
the cutting surface, the possibility of flaming, scorching and charring is
reduced. All systems can be connected to a standard compressed air supply
(30 psi / 2.07 bar max).
Air Assist

To achieve optimum image and edge quality, the laser beam is focused to
the smallest possible spot size at the point of engraving. Our Auto Focus
feature uses magnetic plunger technology to precisely position the table
automatically with every job. It’s the most convenient method of focusing
and even works on transparent surfaces, including glass and acrylic.
Auto Focus

 The Precision of the Accupoint™ Motion Control System
Firing the laser in the right place at the right time is the concept behind the Legend Elite’s Accupoint™ Motion
Control Technology. While it’s easy to see the extraordinary level of detail in our engravings at any resolution, the
engineering behind our equipment is what makes this accuracy possible. At 1200 dpi, the entire motion control
system is moving in increments as small as .00008" (.02 mm), which is the result of a special blend of high-quality
components available only on the Legend Elite Series.

Servo Motors
The ability of a motor to move smoothly at high speeds is a key
component to the Accupoint System. Closed-loop, DC servo
and brushless DC servo motors (EXT only) are known for their
incredibly fast acceleration and deceleration speeds, as well
as their ability to operate without the cogging seen in less
accurate motors.

Super-Silent™ Cooling Fans

Available exclusively from Epilog, our Super-Silent™ fan cooling system allows
you to operate your laser equipment with minimal background noise. CO2 lasers
require air-cooling from a series of fans which can often be noisy and disruptive,
especially if the machine is located in a central or small area used by many people.
Epilog has developed a unique method of drastically decreasing the amount of
noise generated from the cooling fans. In fact, Epilog systems are the only ones
in the industry that allow you to converse in normal tones while the machine is
operating, even if standing directly over the machine! These Super-Silent Cooling
Fans make for a much more comfortable and productive work area.
13
Legend Elite Series Features
Radiance™ High-Resolution Optics
Our Radiance High-Resolution Optics help us produce the
sharpest laser beam in the industry, which provides the most
detailed engraving and cutting results available.

After the laser beam leaves the laser tube, it passes through
a set of two optical components that straighten and expand
the beam. This set of optics dramatically reduces beam
divergence and produces a laser beam that maintains its size
and straightness across the entire engraving table.

Radiance High Resolution Optics Provides:

• A more uniform spot, which results in more detailed engravings. In systems that don’t feature Radiance Optics, the
beam diverges and you’ll see less detailed engravings in the corner of the table. Epilog’s Radiance Optics ensure a
consistent result across the entire table.
• Smaller spot size: A smaller spot size means you can produce finer detail in engraving and cutting applications.
• Rounder spot size: A laser spot that is as close to circular as possible produces laser characteristics that are the same in
both the X and Y directions, providing crisper, more consistent engraving and cutting.
• Higher power density: When focused to a smaller spot, the beam’s power density increases for more power in a smaller
area, and a deeper, darker mark.

Integrated Vector Cutting Grid and Vacuum Table
