Epilog Technology Overview

Epilog Laser System Features

See the technology that makes Epilog lasers fast, reliable, and easy to use for engraving, cutting, and marking.

Available on Fusion Maker, Fusion Edge, Fusion Ascent, Fusion Pro, and Fusion Galvo systems.

Camera & Positioning Features

IRIS / IRIS HD+ Camera Positioning

Live overhead views of the work area make drag-and-drop artwork placement faster and more accurate. Multi-camera configurations are available on higher-end Fusion systems, including Fusion Pro and Fusion Ascent.

Registration Cameras

Dedicated registration support helps align print-and-cut jobs using marks, reducing manual setup and improving contour-cut accuracy.

Red Dot Pointer

A visible pointer helps operators confirm where the beam will start before running a job.

Job Trace

Trace functions outline the job area before processing so operators can verify placement with confidence.

Motion System, Speed, and Build

Acceleration & Top Speed

Higher-performance systems use 5G acceleration for faster ramp-up to engraving speed.
Fusion Pro reaches up to 165 IPS, while Fusion Ascent reaches up to 120 IPS.
These motion systems are built to support faster production without giving up precision.

Motors, Bearings, and Chassis

Depending on series, Epilog systems use stepper or brushless DC servo motion platforms.
Rigid frames and long-life motion components support repeatable accuracy in daily production work.
Industrial-oriented Fusion systems are designed for sustained shop use, including higher-volume workflows.

Optics, Tubes, and Beam Quality

CO2 RF-Waveguide Laser Tubes

Epilog’s air-cooled RF CO2 tubes are built for long life, strong heat dissipation, and consistent beam quality.

Fiber / MOPA Sources

Fiber configurations are available on Fusion Galvo and select Fusion systems for direct metal marking and plastic marking applications.

Radiance Beam-Enhancing Optics

Beam-enhancing optics help deliver finer detail for engraving small text, photos, and precision graphics.

Multiple Lens Options

Different lens choices support higher-resolution engraving, standard general-purpose work, and thicker-material cutting or broader focus ranges.

Workflow, Software, and Job Management

Laser Dashboard

Epilog’s job interface keeps key settings in one place, including speed, power, and other processing controls, for cleaner day-to-day operation.

Epilog Pulse

Pulse is a browser-based workflow tool on current model machines that supports processing from Mac, PC, and other connected devices.

Epilog Job Manager

Job Manager helps operators search job history, organize files, and re-run saved work with prior settings.

PrintAPI

PrintAPI allows custom software and automated systems to communicate directly with supported Epilog machines for integrated workflows.

Safety, Enclosure, and Controls

Class 2 Enclosures

Current Fusion systems use enclosed Class 2 designs with door interlocks. Some models also offer optional Class 4 pass-through kits or accessories.

SAFEGUARD Features

SAFEGUARD design details help keep machine mechanics cleaner and more protected during regular shop use.

Emergency Stop & Key Switch

Built-in safety controls give operators clear power and stop functions during setup and operation.

Status Lights & Indicators

Modern systems include visual indicators and on-machine controls that make status and job monitoring easier.

Cooling, Fans, and Noise Levels

Quiet Cooling Fans

Computer-controlled fan systems help reduce noise while maintaining stable cooling performance.

Air-Cooled Sources

Most current Epilog CO2 and fiber platforms use air-cooled sources, avoiding separate water chiller setups.

Thermal Monitoring

Cooling-related monitoring helps protect performance and alert operators when conditions need attention.

Tables, Air Assist, and Exhaust

Tables for Different Work

Different table styles support engraving, cutting, and marking tasks, depending on the machine and application.

Air Assist

Air Assist directs airflow across the cutting area to reduce heat buildup, flare-ups, and edge contamination.

Easy Material Loading

Large top doors, front access, and pass-through-friendly designs on some systems simplify loading larger or awkward materials.

Exhaust & Filtration Ready

Epilog systems are designed to connect to external exhaust blowers or compatible filtration systems for smoke and debris control.

Match Features to Your Use Case

Camera positioning and faster production motion matter most for signage, personalization, and repeat setup work.
Enclosed systems, simpler workflows, and quieter operation can be a better fit for schools, labs, and shared workspaces.
Fiber and galvo-focused setups are ideal when direct metal marking speed is the priority.
