We’ve been working on an exciting project for quite a while now and it’s finally reached the point where we’re ready to give a peek behind the curtain! Some detectives among you have probably guessed by now what the new machine is so now is the time you’ll finally be proven right.
Without further delay, we’re excited to announce that Langmuir Systems will soon be offering a 4’x8’, 1.5KW Fiber Laser table for $19,995 (special Launch price for a short time). It is fully enclosed, runs all servo drives, has ultra reliable components from Max Photonics and Raytools, and MUCH more. Only Langmuir Systems can deliver this product for this value! Best of all, it is assembled and supported right here in Texas!
Of course we’ll be posting more here and sending out emails as well. The Apollo section of the website will be up and running for you to take a closer look at on 10/28! We will be shipping in late November!
@langmuir-jake Congrats on the new product. Now you can answer my question from the Titan release.
Were these blanks for the Titan business card holders cut on a prototype of this new Apollo machine?
Apollo the Greek god of light. Is that a new theme with you guys naming new equipment after Roman and Greek gods?
Now the real question what would be the cost and logistics to get one of these things to Canada. I wonder how costly tariffs and shipping would be? maybe there’s a chance of special ordering a kit version lol?
Tin you were exactly the detective I had in mind while writing the post. Of course I can, here goes:
Apollo was still in its infancy when we brought Titan to PRI so unfortunately it wasn’t able to cut the business cards. Though it could definitely handle cutting those all now.
I think we’re done using mythology for our machines but I’ll still be pushing for some Egyptian names on future projects. It seems to be a long running tradition for everyone to use Greek/Roman mythology and honestly I think it’s just because they’re so iconic and most people recognize them.
We have flatbed shipping set up for assembled Crossfire XRs so we plan on using that same system for Canadian and US shipments. I’m not sure about the tariffs or the exact shipping costs yet but we’ll crunch the numbers and let everyone know more before the launch date.
That’s a great addition to your already amazing product line! Would there be options to swap out the 1500w power source for a larger one (5/6kw) for greater capacity/speed? Keep the new products coming!
The frame, drivetrain, electronics, servos, ballscrews, gantry…the machine is completely different than the XR. There are no common parts at all between these machines. This frame has thick tubular sides on the frame, bonded, fastened, and machined in house. There are some sheet metal sides for the enclosure for styling and sending small parts to the retrieval cart. We started with a fresh frame design that would provide the rigidity so that we can rapid the unit at over 1200ipm. The Apollo’s full 4-servo drivetrain can go incredibly fast, while the XR tops out around 400ipm, which is more than adequate for plasma. Hopefully this answers any questions you may have about this being a re-badged XR with a laser head…this is a ground up new design, new 32-bit electronics, full servos, heavy duty frame…it is an incredible machine with immense capability. We hope everyone here is as excited as we are about the capabilities this will offer folks who previously thought laser cutting was unattainable!
It will run on either shop air or gas depending on your application and materials. We will have solutions for both. If you are running it on shop air you will need a large volume compressor with dry air. We should be able to offer a solution if you need a compressor or dryer when sales start. Specific requirements for the laser will be posted when we get the webpage up next week.
