Q1. What is MAGIC-L3?

A. MAGIC-L3 is a MOPA fiber laser machine for jewelry marking, deep engraving, and metal cutting.

It can be used for jewelry personalization and production. A built-in camera and automated functions help simplify job preparation.

Q2. What can I do with MAGIC-L3?

A. You can mark text and logos on pendants and medals, engrave the inside and outside of rings, mark photographs, perform deep engraving, and cut metal sheets.

For example, you can engrave a name or special date on a ring, or mark a design on a metal sheet before cutting it into shape.

Q3. What materials can I work with?

A. MAGIC-L3 can process metals such as gold, silver, platinum, brass, copper, aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. It can also mark some plastics.

A material suitable for marking is not necessarily suitable for deep engraving or cutting. Results depend on its composition, surface finish, thickness, and laser settings. Sample testing is recommended for unfamiliar materials.

Q4. What laser power options are available?

A. MAGIC-L3 is available in 30W, 60W, and 100W models.

Higher power does not increase every job’s speed by the same proportion. Choose according to your main materials and required engraving depth or cutting thickness.

Q5. What is the working area?

A. The official catalog lists the following specifications.

The usable range depends on the clamp, worktable, lens configuration, and workpiece shape.

Z-axis travel and maximum material height are different measurements. For tall items, confirm suitability with the intended clamp.

Q6. What software does MAGIC-L3 use?

A. MAGIC-L3 uses the laser version of MagicEngrave for PCs.

It combines design editing, positioning, toolpath generation, and laser settings in one program. You can assign separate settings for marking, deep engraving, and cutting within the same design.

Q7. Can MAGIC-L3 produce black or color markings?

A. Yes. Black and white marking are possible depending on the material and laser settings. Color marking is also possible on certain metals, such as stainless steel and titanium.

Color marking uses the properties of the oxide layer formed on the metal surface during laser processing. Therefore, the same colors or contrast cannot be achieved on every metal.

Actual results depend on the metal type, alloy composition, surface finish, and laser settings. If you require a particular color or finish, test a sample of the actual material to establish suitable processing conditions.

Q8. What does the built-in camera do?

A. The camera lets you adjust your design’s size, position, and angle while viewing an actual image of the workpiece.

This helps you position designs on items with irregular outlines, such as pendants.

Q9. How do I set the laser focus?

A. MAGIC-L3 supports autofocus and focus pointers.

Autofocus may be affected by reflectivity, color, surface angle, and ambient lighting. If necessary, adjust the Z-axis manually until the two focus pointers meet at one point on the working surface.

An auxiliary guide laser can help when a focus pointer is obstructed.

Q10. How is the rotary clamp connected?

A. MAGIC-L3 supports a Load-N-Go docking rotary clamp.

The machine automatically detects a compatible rotary clamp when it is docked. This simplifies switching between flat and ring jobs without connecting a separate rotary cable.

The rotary clamp is optional. Confirm whether it is included when ordering.

Q11. Can I engrave both the inside and outside of a ring?

A. Yes. A compatible rotary clamp allows you to mark text, logos, and patterns on both surfaces.

Select the inside or outside mode, enter the actual ring dimensions, and secure the ring firmly. Suitability depends on its diameter, width, thickness, and shape.

Q12. Do I need to adjust the angle manually for inside-ring marking?

A. With the automatic tilting rotary clamp, the angle is adjusted according to the ring dimensions.

The entered diameter and width determine the required tilt, reducing manual setup. Enter accurate measurements and check that the ring is securely held.

Q13. Can I mark items with different heights or curved surfaces?

A. Yes. MAGIC-L3 supports multi-height and curved-surface marking.

• Multi-height marking: Adjusts focus height to process surfaces at different levels in sequence.
• Curved-surface marking: Adjusts focus height according to the specified curvature.

Enter accurate height or curvature information. These functions do not automatically recognize every irregular surface.

Q14. How thick a metal sheet can MAGIC-L3 cut?

A. Based on our MAGIC-L3 tests, we recommend sheets up to 1 mm thick for the 30W model and up to 2 mm for the 60W and 100W models. These are practical recommendations that consider processing time, rather than maximum cutting limits for every material.

The following are measured cutting times for 13 × 5 mm test lettering and patterns.

Time ranges represent results obtained with different processing settings or patterns. “—” means no measured result is recorded for that condition.

Our tests also demonstrated cutting 3 mm brass with the 60W and 100W models. However, processing takes considerably longer, so we recommend up to 2 mm for regular work. For thicker sheets, heat-related deformation and cut-edge quality should also be considered.

Actual cutting time and results depend on the material composition, design size and complexity, cutting path, and laser settings.

Q15. What clamps and accessories are available?

A. Options include:

• Automatic tilting rotary clamp: Inside and outside ring marking.
• Pendant clamp: Holds pendants and various workpiece shapes.
• Self-centering pendant clamp: Helps center and secure items.
• Anti-curling clamp: Helps prevent thin sheets from lifting or deforming.
• Cutting table: Supports sheets during cutting.
• L-type clamp: Holds inclined items or rings for manual setup.

Some accessories are sold separately. Confirm a suitable configuration before ordering.

Q16. Is a dust collector or extraction system required?

A. Yes. Laser marking and cutting can produce dust, fumes, and fine particles. Use an extraction system suitable for the material.

Keep it running during processing and maintain its filters and collection components. Compatible equipment can be linked to the machine to operate automatically at the start and end of a job.

Q17. What do the safety door and viewing window do?

A. MAGIC-L3 has an enclosed working chamber, an automatic safety door, and a laser-protective viewing window.

It is designed for Class 1 operation under normal use conditions, with sensors monitoring the door. You can observe processing through the window while the door is closed.

Keep the door closed during processing and do not disable safety sensors or protective features.

Q18. What are the machine’s dimensions and weight?

A. The official catalog lists the following specifications.

Install it on a sturdy, level workbench. Allow space for door movement, extraction hoses, and loading workpieces.

Q19. What should I check before use?

A. Before starting:

• Make sure the workpiece is securely held in a suitable clamp.
• Select laser settings appropriate for the material.
• Check the focus and design size, position, and orientation.
• For rings, confirm that the entered diameter and width match the actual measurements.
• Check the safety door and viewing window.
• Confirm that the extraction system operates correctly.

Use the preview or position-check function before processing.

Q20. How should I maintain the machine?

A. Remove processing residue and prevent dust from accumulating around the clamps and rotary system.

Keep the viewing window, camera, and focus-pointer areas clean. Check extraction filters regularly. Maintain lenses and optical components using the methods and tools specified in the manual.

Stop the machine and switch off the power before cleaning or inspection.
