PC SPECIFICATION FOR CTR CO2 LASER MACHINES

Which PC do I need to run my CTR laser machine?

CTR laser machines all require a PC to drive them. We supply the software and software dongle as standard, but you need to allocate a PC for the laser machine.

Whilst a relatively low specification of PC is adequate for running the laser machine, if there are other applications, software or services using significant processing power whilst the laser machine is running, this may cause disruption to the laser cutting and/or engraving process.

 

The PC required for running the laser should have a minimum specification of:
 

PC Type Tower PC recommended.
Laptop or slimline PC acceptable.
Processor Pentium 4
RAM

Minimum 500MB
Recommended 1GB
Hard Disk 40 GB
Display 1024 x 768
256 colours
Expansion 2 USB 2.0 ports
Operating System

Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows 8.1
Please contact us for details or if you are not sure that your PC will be compatible.

If you have already had a written quotation from CTR for a laser machine, the PC specification for your specific machine will be noted on the same document.

Benefits of waterjet cutters
A waterjet cutter is a powerful industrial tool that uses a very focused high-pressure stream of water (and sometimes an abrasive substance like natural sand) to cut through a wide variety of materials.  Read More
How Accurate is Laser Cutting?
The first carbon dioxide (C02) laser was invented in 1963 by Kumar Patel, and just two years later, the first Western Engineering Research Center (in Buffalo, USA) was the first to employ a laser as a cutting device, using a laser to drill holes in diamond dies. By the late 1960s, gas laser cutting was being used to cut through metal with ease and accuracy, something that CO2 lasers originally hadn't been capable of. For over 40 years, laser cutters have improved in terms of speed, performance and quality, but what about accuracy? How accurate is laser cutting today? Read More
Benefits of Pipe Cutting Machines
26th March 2021
Modular pipe and profile cutting machines made waves in the world of pipework fabrication. As the demand for pipe materials continues to soar, technology evolves at a rapid pace. Today's pipe cutters are designed for a wide range of projects, such as tank, pipeline and power plant construction industry applications. As a result, these powerful, precise and efficient machines can prove to be a wise investment for steel specialists. Pipe cutter machines are primarily designed for cutting through pipes, but depending on the machine, additional processes can include angle cutting, slotting, marking, notching, beveling, and hole marking.
