We’re bringing Blue Reaper to Agro FARMA Expo 2026 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

Our focus is not on building a complete agricultural machine, but on providing laser w**d control technology that can become part of one.

We want to meet agricultural machinery manufacturers, robotics companies, OEMs and system integrators developing the next generation of automated farming equipment.

If you are working on agricultural robots, autonomous platforms or precision farming systems, Agro FARMA will be a good opportunity to discuss how laser-based w**d control could be integrated into your machine architecture.

Planning to attend the show?

Contact us before the event to arrange a meeting with our team and discuss potential integration or OEM cooperation.

This video shows the complete upgrade of a Blue Elephant 1325 CNC with the Opt Lasers PLH3D-XT8 45 W blue diode laser system.

walks through the real installation process, including CNC controller preparation, mounting the laser head, wiring, system configuration and the first cutting and engraving tests.

This project also contributed to the development of a dedicated Opt Lasers solution for Blue Elephant CNC machines, allowing users to add professional laser cutting and engraving capability to an existing CNC router.

The PLH3D-XT8 is a high-power blue diode laser head designed for demanding CNC cutting and engraving applications. With approximately 45 W of optical power, it combines high cutting capability with a compact, industrial-grade all-metal construction.

In this video you can see:

• preparation of the Blue Elephant 1325 CNC for laser operation
• controller and wiring modifications
• PLH3D-XT8 mounting
• connection of the laser control system
• integration with the CNC machine
• first laser engraving tests
• first laser cutting tests
• the completed Blue Elephant CNC laser upgrade

PLH3D-XT8 45 W key features:

• approximately 45 W of optical power
• high-power blue diode laser technology
• designed for CNC laser cutting and engraving
• compact, robust all-metal construction
• support for high-pressure Air Assist
• integration with CNC Adapter PRO
• compatible with LaserDock PRO magnetic docking
• available in dedicated and universal CNC upgrade configurations

Our updated Stepcraft laser installation guide is now live.

The previous connection video had been around for several years, so it was time to refresh it. The good news is that the setup itself is still very intuitive.

In the new video, Hugo shows the whole process clearly — mounting, wiring, UCCNC setup, working-distance adjustment and the first laser test.
The same connection principle can also apply to other Stepcraft M-, Q- and D-Series machines using the same controller and connection configuration shown in the video.

We’ve just published a new connection and setup video for the Stepcraft M.500 with the PLH3D-XT-50.

Our previous installation video was already several years old, so it was definitely time for an update. The connection process itself is still intuitive, but we wanted to show it again in a clearer, more up-to-date format.

In this new video, Hugo walks through the whole process step by step - from mounting and wiring to the first startup and low-power test - in a very clear and easy-to-follow way.

What is important here is that the connection method shown in the video is not limited only to the Stepcraft M.500. The same connection principle can also apply to other Stepcraft models - including Q-Series, M-Series, D-Series, and other machines using the same configuration as the one shown in the video.

If you use a Stepcraft CNC or are planning to add a laser to your machine, this guide is a great place to start.

🎥 Watch the new installation video and see the setup in practice.

New video: PLH3D-XT-50 installation on a Laguna IQ CNC with MASSO controller

In this setup, we show how an Opt Lasers PLH3D laser system can be integrated with a Laguna IQ CNC equipped with a MASSO controller.

The creator used the PLH3D-XT-50 in this installation, but the Laguna IQ can also be configured with other Opt Lasers heads, including the PLH3D-XT8 45 W, depending on whether the priority is high-resolution engraving or maximum cutting performance.

The video covers the practical setup, including:

• laser mounting
• MASSO controller connection
• cable routing
• Air Assist
• laser control setup
• preparation of the CNC for laser operation

This gives the Laguna IQ an additional laser cutting and engraving process while keeping the original spindle workflow.

LASER HARDWARE FOR WEEDING MACHINE BUILDERS

We provide the laser source.
You keep full control over detection, AI and machine design.

Custom modules
Optics support
Thermal management
Laser safety guidance
Long-term cooperation

Our role in laser w**ding is focused on high-power blue laser hardware.

We do not develop our own w**d detection methods or AI algorithms. Instead, we provide laser sources, optical support, thermal management expertise and integration assistance — leaving partners free to focus on their core machine vision, AI and platform technologies.

For machine builders and agricultural robotics companies, this means a dedicated laser partner instead of a generic component supplier.
