ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2

What the ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2 can make

The ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2 is a CO2 laser cutter: its infrared beam cuts and engraves wood, acrylic of any colour, leather, fabric, paper and rubber, and engraves glass, stone and coated metal. It is the usual choice for cutting acrylic and thicker wood.

It has a rated laser power of 55 W, a work area of 500 × 800 mm (19.7 × 31.5 in) and a top engraving speed of 600 mm/s.

It works with a camera for positioning designs on the material, autofocus and LightBurn software.

In the United States the ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2 sells for $2,929, close to the median of $3,000 across 15 co2 laser cutters with a US price.

ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2 safety and compliance

The ATOMSTACK Hurricane CO2 has a fully enclosed design, flame detection and an emergency stop. It is stated as a Class 1 laser product, meaning the beam is contained in normal use.

Every laser engraver makes smoke and fumes: run it with an exhaust to the outdoors or a fume purifier. Never cut PVC or vinyl, which release corrosive chlorine gas.

The brand's listing does not state FDA compliance. Laser products sold in the United States must meet the FDA's laser performance standard (21 CFR 1040.10) and be reported to the FDA, which issues an accession number; ask the seller for it before buying in the US.
