Nova Plus features an upgraded cone-head touch auto-focus system, delivering effortless operation and en-
hanced focus accuracy.
For specialized applications like pass-through door usage, long-focus engraving, or working with soft materials,
the manual focus mode with a fixed-focus stick ensures precise alignment every time.
Nova Plus series features a comprehensive laser head upgrade with four lens tube sizes-1.5”, 2”,2.5”, and 4”-each designed for a wide range of processing needs.
Regardless of size, the 6mm distance from the cone head to the material ensures consistent and efficient au-to-focusing across all lenses.
Apart from the Dual Air Assits™, an air pressure detection feature is added into Nova Plus, designed to protect your lens and prevent fire hazards.
The system ensures clear visibility of airflow, while the air pressure monitor automatically pauses the machine if the pressure drops below 0.3psi, safeguarding your equipment and enhancing safety.
Nova Plus features a redesigned front air intake baffle with a 92% larger intake area compared to the Nova.
This upgrade significantly boosts smoke and fume extraction, ensuring a clearer, healthier workspace-especially
during high-output jobs. Enjoy a more user-friendly experience with improved air quality and efficiency!
Nova Plus features an air-cooled, fully integrated cooling system, removing the need for separate chillers and streamlining both setup and maintenance.
Perfect for users seeking an all-in-one, high-performance machine, this system provides reliable cooling for opti-mal operation.

The key difference between the Nova Plus and the Nova is the upgrade from a CO₂ glass tube to a CO₂ RF tube, delivering higher engraving precision and enhanced cutting power. This also increases speed from 1000 mm/s to 1200 mm/s. Thanks to the RF tube’s advanced capabilities, air cooling is sufficient, eliminating the need for an additional water chiller.
No, upgrading from the Nova to the Nova Plus requires structural changes to the machine and must be done at the factory.
Choosing the right laser can be daunting, but we are here to help! The best way to figure this out is to call us or set up a time to speak to one of our laser experts. They will ask you questions about what you’d like to create and help you find a machine to suit your needs and budget.
The main things to consider are:
How much space do I have?
What materials do I want to cut or engrave?
How thick of material do I want to be able to cut?
What is my budget?
Am I going to be doing production runs or one-off projects?
