LaserPecker LX2 Launch – A New Challenger to the xTool S1?
Shenzhen Hingin Tech Co., Ltd., known for its LaserPecker brand of portable engravers, has announced a new product, the LaserPecker LX2. The device is a fully enclosed, desktop laser cutter and engraver. The launch represents a strategic shift for the company, which has previously focused on compact, handheld devices, into the prosumer and small business market.
The company is positioning the LX2 as a system for creators and entrepreneurs who are scaling up their operations. According to company statements, the LX2 is intended to provide a solution for users who find entry-level equipment too limited or industrial machines too complex. The product's marketing introduces the term "'profit-proof'," referencing features designed to increase production efficiency and reduce material waste.
The LX2 is built on a modular design that permits the tool-free exchange of different laser units. The system supports 20W and 40W blue diode lasers, with a 60W version planned, as well as a 2W infrared (IR) laser designed for engraving on metals and plastics. LaserPecker specifies a maximum engraving speed of 1000mm/s, claiming an efficiency increase of over 50% compared to systems with a 600mm/s speed.
The machine incorporates several automated features to aid in operation. A "3D Auto-Focus Probing" system uses a physical probe to map an object's surface, enabling the laser to dynamically adjust its focal point in real-time. This function is designed for engraving on curved or irregular surfaces. For project setup, the system uses a 12MP camera for visual alignment.
The unit is delivered pre-assembled and is fully enclosed, a design that has contributed to its Class 1 safety certification, the highest classification for laser products. This safety rating is often a requirement for equipment used in educational, home, or small business settings, placing the LX2 in a market segment with competitors such as xTool and Glowforge.
The introduction of the LX2 signals LaserPecker's move to expand its product line beyond the portable engravers that built its user base. By combining a modular laser system, high-speed operation, and automated features within a single enclosed platform, the company is entering the competitive professional desktop laser market.
