Introducing the World's first 2 in 1 Laser and Diamond Drag engraving system!

That's right, Xenetech has again led the way by combining CO2 laser engraving and cutting capabilities with traditional diamond drag engraving in a single futuristic table top design. Thank about it for a moment... the possibilities are endless.

Incorporating the best of our laser and rotary engraving technolgies, the XL DUO 1218 provides fully featured laser options with a srong heritage of profitable Xentech rotaryengravers, all in a compact table-top design.With a processing area of 12" x 18" x 6" (304.8 x 457 x 171mm) the Xenetech DUO1218 is the most versatile laser cutting and marking solution to the trophy & award, signage, engraving and industrial marking industies. In addition to the advanced and unique features of the Xenetech systems, their are a number of patented and powerful unique features that set the Xenetech professional level laser systems apart. Combine this with a colour touch screen controller with job preview capability, "live" job controls over speed and power and real-time dianognostics at your fingers and you have the most powerfull and reliable system on the market. In additiona the Xenetech electronics simultaneously interpolate all four axes and combine with dual enclosed optical encoders to provide the ultimate in precision engraving, cutting and diamond drag engraving. All Xenetech laser systems can be to tailored to suit your needs and give you an upgrade path for the future.

Features for XL DUO1218. An investment in these Laser Systems begins with top-of-the-line performance and a wide variety of features and enhancements, including:
	Touch screen keypad: On-board control panel gives total and real time control of the job, such as: on- the-fly speed and power changes, scroll-through job queue, job preview, pan and zoom, job recall , end-of-job signal, positioning, statistics read out, and more.
	Color Touch screen keypad: Full rendering of job information on screen including engrave-by-color information and color rendering of bitmap and photographic engraving image.
	Precision, high-speed, and low maintenance Next-Generation motion system with lifetime bearing warranty. Motion system includes singular-extruded aluminum bridge/rail design, in-place belt-and-carriage tension adjustment, perma-mount retractable drag tool, By combining the speed of this bridge technology with the durability of leadscrews on the Y-axis, the XL Duo combines the best of Xenetech rotary and laser technology yielding better quality and even more accurate positioning.
	Laser focus tool and diamond drag tool remain mounted between engraving of different types. With a retractable drag tool, a simple lift-and-turn locking mechanism quickly stowes the drag too.   If you choose to use an optic with a smaller focal length, two screws allow you to remove the drag assembly.
	By combining laser and diamond drag engraving into a single job on a single machine, a whole new line of products is available to engravers. Registration between laser and drag marking is inherent in the design of the Duo. Combine both types of marking within the same logo or artwork and you won't have to worry about aligning material between different machines.
	By integrating diamond drag engraving into our engrave-by-color technology, users are able to select what they what to diamond drag and when to engrave it by simply assigning a layout object to a color and applying any desired attributes to that color.
