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 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.

What is a water jet cutter?
29th January 2021
A water jet cutter, also known as a water jet cutting machine, uses an ultra-high-pressure stream of water to cut different materials without thermal stress. These incredibly powerful and precise machines can be used (sometimes with abrasives) to cut ceramics, metal, stone, concrete, composites, wood, plastics and paper — with excellent edge quality. The jets do not create a HEZ (Heat Affected Zone), meaning this method is incredibly versatile and ideal for cutting foods and heat-sensitive materials. Read More
What are the Advantages of a Laser Etching Machine?
30th November 2020
Laser etching and engraving fall under the general category of laser marking, but the main difference is the depth to which the laser penetrates the surface. Laser etching is considerably faster than deep laser engraving — which may require several laser passes and therefore, more time. The speed can be increased significantly with higher laser powers too; however, it’s unlikely you will need a higher laser power than 100W for etching.  Read More
