Nd:YAG laser cutting and engraving machine OPERA series

for precious metalsCNCpolishing

Product overview
OPERA is the hybrid system developed by Elettrolaser that combines laser marking/cutting and high-precision CNC milling in a single benchtop unit for jewelry workshops and small-scale production. It supports Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser sources (including MOPA formats) with selectable power options (20 W or 60 W) and integrates a high-speed Galvo head together with a precision CNC spindle. Opera Easy Creator software is included to manage laser and CNC operations.

Main capabilities

• Dual-function: laser engraving/marking/cutting plus high-precision CNC milling
• Engraving: shallow, deep and micro-engraving on metals and non-metals
• Cutting: micro-cutting of fine designs in thin sheets and plates
• Finishing: diamond-tool brightcut finishes, texturing and polishing
• Ring work: inside/outside ring marking with optional rotary devices
• Prototyping and customization by combining laser and CNC effects

Applications

• Laser marking and mechanical CNC engraving for jewelry and accessories
