We are in an era of Personalization. Customized Gifts, daily necessities, small DIY projects, and even clothing accessories are in high demand for personalization. This is one of the reasons why laser engraving machines have become increasingly popular in the past years. However, some of the key obstructions to the beginner user, are the price and complexity of the machines.
ORTUR, which has been at the forefront of the laser engraving industry, has experienced through customer support most of the issues described above.
This barrier to entry on price and know-how is exactly the problem Aufero Laser 2 Product line is trying to mitigate.
In order to serve more novice users, ORTUR released its entry-level engraving machine sub-brand Aufero and its first model for beginners—— Aufero Laser 1 several months ago. Soon after, Aufero brought its upgraded Aufero Laser 2, which is also positioned for entry to the intermediary users, allowing a bigger work area but maintaining a simple and stable platform. All the Ortur Know-How, at a friendly price, starting at only $269.
The most complete introductory guide in the industry, even someone never used can get started easily
After getting the machine, novices may be confused and will have countless questions: how to install with a lot of parts and brief manuals? Where to download the engraving software? How to engrave different materials? How to set parameters? And so many other questions… Don’t worry, Aufero has The most complete introductory guide in the industry, which can help you “from beginner to master”.
First of all, Aufero Laser 2 is equipped with a 71-page manual covering 10 languages. Every step, component, and operation is detailed in the form of color pictures.

If you feel that the manual is also trouble, Aufero has also released detailed installation videos, and it is easier to follow the video to install.

After the release of Aufero Laser 1, its plug-and-play feature was widely praised, but some users reported that its manual was too brief and inconvenient to install and use. Only three months after the release of the first generation, Aufero has made the manual to the most detailed level in the industry in its second-generation product, so that all novices can easily get started.
From that can see its attention to the user’s voice and the products.

It can be said to be a fast and easy-to-use benchmark.
Compatible with a variety of laser modules, multiple functions can be easily expanded
Modularity is an essential function of high-end engraving machines. It is not only convenient for novices to install the machine, but also expands more functions later. Aufero Laser 2 naturally also supports modular customization. For example, its laser module can be freely matched with ORTUR’s LU2-2, LU2-4-SF, LU2-4-LF, LU2-10 (10W) to cope with multiple complex scenes.

A four-layer safety protection system to protect the safety of novice throughout the process
For beginners, safety is also a very important part. So Aufero Laser 2 has designed a 4-fold safety protection system.
First, the Active Position Protection. When the laser engraving machine is moved horizontally/vertically, it will automatically stop the work of the laser head to protect the user. This anti-collision technology ORTUR was developed as early as 2019. Compared with the anti-collision technology that other brands just released this year, it is obviously more mature and perfect.
Second, the new function Laser Beam Safety Watchdog has been added. When there is a bug in the machine, or there is a poor USB connection between the machine and the computer, in order to prevent the laser module from going out of control and causing fire hazards, the laser watchdog will be activated to stop the laser module from outputting laser light.
Third, set the Exposure Duration Detection and Limitation. If you go to pour a coffee or answer a phone call in the middle of debugging the laser power, if the machine is not instructed within 30 seconds, the machine will automatically stop working to prevent any possible safety hazards.
Fourth, it has a Safe Power Control System. When the engraving machine is turned off, the mainboard will cut off the current output to the laser module to avoid any hidden dangers that may occur. Imagine that when you are finished using it, you don’t need to manually unplug it. After the machine is turned off, the power supply will automatically stop, and the laser will stop working. So, if you are an inexperienced novice, nuanced security protection design may bring you more security.
In a word, whether you are a novice who is the first time to buy an engraving machine or an experienced engraver, Aufero’s complete safety protection can buy and use with confidence.
