Interface For Adapting Shark Controller To Laser Module

[monitoringpost]

Just noticed this yesterday in Next Wave Automation's online store.

wonder when and how much the laser head is going to be.

Here is the link to the laser module http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop ... itemid=161

To use it on a CNC piranha that is all you need. To use it on a CNC Shark you need the adaptor and control panel 2.xxx

Here is the link for the adapter http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop ... itemid=160

So I wonder if 850 (I have the shark) is worth the cost? I suppose buying a new laser machine would be much more. hmmm.... where did I put my credit card? lol

Remember that this is a 2 to 3 watt LED laser for engraving and not a large CO2 laser that will cut parts out of 1/2" thick wood.

Ive been waiting for this. A very quiet roll out. Rockler doesnt carry the adapter and has the laser unit itself labeled as over sold

[tonybell9699]

If its oversold then someone on here must have one and can give us a review!

As someone else said another NWA quiet product rollout.

As I under stand both the Piranha laser module and the CNC Shark laser interface is needed for all CNC Sharks prior to HD3. I have a 2014 CNC Shark HD/Black Diamond

We would need both of these items:
NWA item # 160 http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop ... itemid=160

NWA item # 20015 http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop ... itemid=161

It sounds like some of you are on the "bleeding edge" trying the laser on Shark. Since NWA does not seem to be actively promoting this I hope some of you will chime-in with your installation experience.

Have a great day!
