Operating xTool F1 IR laser in a temperature range of 20-30℃ delivers the best results. To achieve steady processing power, we recommend preheating the machine for 10 minutes when at a temperature of lower than 25 degrees.

F1 Infrared-Ray Laser Specifications:

Wavelength: 1064 ± 1nm

Power: 2.2-2.6W

Pulse width: 4-5ns

Laser Frequency: 25-35 kHz (can't be manually adjusted)

Power Supply: DC24V (100W)

In addition, using the correct power supply adapter is important for stable power output and ideal processing effects.

Here's How to Preheat:

Effective preheating ensures high-quality results with your infrared light processing. The device enters the default preheating procedure when connected to the power supply, adjusting to your ambient temperature and guaranteeing optimal conditions as processing begins. If your environment is chilly, the following methods can enhance your preheating result:

Method 1 - Preheating Before Infrared Processing:

1, Navigate to your device settings page, find the Infrared Ray Preheat function and switch it on.

2, Choose the IR laser type, and the machine will automatically preheat for 10 seconds before processing your work. The processing will automatically start once preheating is completed.

At this moment, your processed works are operating optimally in a suitable condition.

Method 2 - Adjust the Parameter for Preheating:

First, edit your design and set the parameters accordingly. Next, select the IR laser light and adjust it to 100% Power. Finally, run the laser on your test material for about half a minute. 

Remember to pair your F1 infrared laser with a suitable power adapter ensures a stable power output in the first place, as this ensures a stable power output and a consistent working environment for your machine.

During colder or winter conditions, we highly recommend methodically preheating your machine as per the steps above. In this way, you'll get high-quality processing results and the most satisfactory use of your xTool F1.
