SCM 2.8W Laser Kit by JTech - Iconic Series - AX9-ALK28
This high quality laser produces an amazing 2.8W of power with included 2.0A driver! Built by J Tech Photonics specifically for any Axiom Iconic series CNC machine.
Engrave on wood, leather, acrylics, and many other materials. Cut thin and soft woods like Balsa, Basswood, and many other types of materials like foam, paper, cloth and acrylics. Make incredible objects for projects or production. Your creations are only limited by your imagination!
The Axiom CNC laser by J Tech Photonics raises the bar in CNC accessory lasers. Precision laser trimmed regulators for constant current to the laser, 0.01 tuning resolution, digital isolation, soft start, ESD protection, current limiting, and the list goes on….But we have safety in mind as well! The US Federal Government has a list of things that are required for operating these high power class 4 lasers. They might seem trivial, but they could save your eyesight!
Features
-
Key Switch: A key is needed to enable the laser. When the key switch is turned on, the laser is enabled and the key CANNOT come out. You can only remove the key when it is disabled. This feature is good if you have curious children or have your laser in a shared area and want to limit use. Just take the key out and hide it!
-
Remote Interlocks: This feature allows for addition of a switch on your enclosure so when it is open, the laser will automatically turn off. An interlock switch is also installed on the rear surface of the laser which insures that if the laser is removed from your Axiom CNC router, the beam is interrupted. They’ve also added an E Stop button for the laser, which is always good for if you need to stop the laser quickly!
-
Power Fault Protection: In the event of a power failure, your laser will be disabled, preventing the beam to illuminate as the power is restored. Simply press the reset button and you are back in action!
-
Emission Indicator: The small little LED on the front to let you know when your laser is on.

Q&A
Maintenance Tips
-
Keep optics clean: Regularly clean laser lens and mirrors with proper optical wipes to maintain engraving accuracy and power consistency.
-
Avoid dust buildup: Use in a clean, ventilated workspace; dust can reduce beam efficiency and damage components.
-
Check alignment regularly: Ensure laser head and mounting remain properly aligned for precise cutting/engraving output.
-
Prevent overheating: Allow cooling breaks during long operation cycles to protect diode lifespan.
-
Secure mounting: Ensure all brackets and fittings are tightly fixed to avoid vibration during operation.
-
Cable care: Avoid bending or stressing power and signal cables to prevent connection failure.
-
Use correct settings: Always match material settings (power/speed) to avoid overloading the 2.8W laser module.
-
Software updates: Keep control software and firmware updated for stability and performance improvements.
-
Safe storage: Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight and moisture.
-
Lens protection: Cover the laser head when not in use to prevent scratches and contamination.
