Q3: How do I choose the right laser machine for my needs?
Choosing the right laser can be daunting, but we are here to help! The best way to figure this out is to call us or set up a time to speak to one of our laser experts. They will ask you questions about what you’d like to create and help you find a machine to suit your needs and budget.
The main things to consider are:
1. How much space do I have?
2. What materials do I want to cut or engrave?
3. How thick of material do I want to be able to cut?
4. What is my budget?
5. Am I going to be doing production runs or one-off projects?
We've written a more in-depth article on this here.
Q4: Is the Nova Plus suitable for large-scale production?
Absolutely. The Nova Plus is built for continuous, high-volume work. The RF laser tube maintains stable output even over long jobs, while the machine's robust frame and motion control system ensure precise, repeatable performance. It's ideal for businesses producing signage, packaging, custom products, and more.
Q5: What is the maximum power available for the Nova Plus Series?
The Nova Plus Series currently offers a maximum power of 120W, equipped with a high-frequency RF CO₂ laser tube. Compared to traditional glass tubes, RF (radio frequency) tubes deliver more stable power, longer lifespan, and superior engraving precision—especially for fine details and high-speed production. With 120W of cutting power and the reliability of an RF source, the Nova Plus is an excellent choice for businesses that need clean results, long-term durability, and faster job turnaround times across a wide range of materials.
Q6: Can I upgrade my Nova to the Nova Plus?
No, upgrading from the Nova to the Nova Plus requires structural changes to the machine and must be done at the factory.
Q7: Is the Thunder Nova Plus Series difficult to set up?
Not at all! In fact, Nova Plus Series features user-friendly design and easy setup process. At trade shows, our team can go from unboxing to fully operational in just 30 minutes—and you can, too. Unlike many lasers that necessitate a complex alignment upon arrival, our nova plus series are robustly constructed to maintain alignment during transit. This design philosophy ensures that if a machine is prone to misalignment during shipping, it’s likely to require frequent realignments, leading to lost time and unnecessary frustration for you. Inside the box, you’ll find detailed instructions and all essential tools included. And if you need help, our support team is only a call away.
Q8: What is the warranty for the Nova Plus and its RF tube?
The machine comes with a 2-year warranty. The RF tube usually carries a 1-year warranty depending on the supplier.
Q9: What kind of support is available after purchase?
We provide free training, responsive technical support within 24 hours, and a global agent network to assist you locally.
