The industry's best solution for high quality, low cost laser engraving and cutting
Finally. There is an affordable, industrial-grade laser cutting and engraving machine that is also reliable, user-friendly and safe. Whether you are a new user, an educator, or a business owner looking to broaden your reach, an R Series laser can help you unleash your potential.
Best cost/quality ratio on the market
Series lasers were developed by Trotec. Unlike other lasers in the same price range, R Series lasers comply to stringent production procedures and European manufacturing standards. The R500 and R400 lasers are both equipped with high quality components: a Trotec laser system controller, industrial grade power supplies and linear guides. The robust mechanical and reliable electronic design is proven in thousands of Trotec laser machines.
Easy access and ergonomic design
Designed for maximum usability, R Series lasers can cut and engrave plastic, acrylic, wood, paper, textiles and many more materials up to 10 mm (0.39 in) thick. The ergonomic and open design boosts efficiency and makes positioning jobs a simple task.
Because the R series laser cutters meet the highest safety standards
To help protect the safety of laser operators, R Series systems come standard with a double interlock system and safety kill switch. They are classified as laser safety class II, meaning that the beam path is completely enclosed and no protective safety gear is required. In addition, R Series lasers meet U.S. manufacturing safety requirements for use in public spaces.

Simple to use, sophisticated results
Designed with educators and new users in mind, R Series lasers include user-friendly workflow software that allows you to produce professional grade results with little to no experience. With both the software and the controller developed by Trotec, the motion and laser processes are perfectly in tune for maximizing the system‘s performance. Our “one click setup” enables you to be up and running within minutes.

Meets all safety requirements for use in public areas
R Series lasers comply with all health and safety regulations, and are classified as laser safety class II -- meaning the laser beam is fully enclosed, and the system can be used without protective gear. With laser class II, a double safety circuit, key switch, emergency stop and laser protection shutter system, you’re optimally protected. Everything is CE-certified according to the latest standards.
