AEON vs Trotec Laser

AEON Laser vs Trotec Laser

Trotec money buys a Trotec. Or three AEONs.

Trotec builds a fine laser in Austria and prices it like one. A Speedy 400 with a 120W tube on a 39 × 24 inch bed is $61,039 on Trotec’s 2026 US street price list. The AEON MIRA X puts 150W on the same bed, with a chiller built into the cabinet, for $17,999. Here is the current AEON lineup against every Trotec CO₂ flatbed on that list, model for model: wattage, bed, speed, cooling, what is in the price, and what is not.

Where the real difference is

Three things a Trotec quote does not show you.

Nobody regrets a laser on the day it arrives. They regret it in year three, when the tube has run a thousand hours, the bed is a few inches too small for the new job, and the question is what the next machine costs. These are the three places the two companies are built differently.

Price for the machine you get

Same bed. More tube. One third the price.

A Trotec Speedy 400 is $52,734 with an 80W tube and $61,039 with 120W, on a 40 × 24 inch bed; the new Speedy 480 tops out at the same 120W on a 49 × 24.5 inch bed. The AEON MIRA X is $17,999 with 150W on a 39 × 24 inch bed, 3,000 mm/s, three cameras, touchless autofocus and an integrated chiller. The Speedy 300 at $34,309 ships 80W on a 29 × 17 inch bed; the MIRA 9X is $9,999 with 75W on 35 × 18. At every bed size on Trotec’s list, the AEON across the table costs a third or less.

  • MIRA X, 150W, $17,999, vs Speedy 400, 120W, $61,039
  • MIRA 9X, 75W, $9,999, vs Speedy 300, 80W, $34,309
  • MIRA 6X, 40W, $6,999, vs Speedy 100, 50W, $21,659
Cooling

Liquid-cooled RF above 60W.

An RF metal tube turns electrical input into heat as well as light, and the heat scales with wattage. Past about 60W, a fan on a heatsink struggles to hold the tube at a steady temperature through a long job, and tube temperature is what drives output power and beam mode. That is why the MIRA 9X, the MIRA X and every NOVA RF source run on a chiller. Trotec fan-cools its Speedy sources as standard at every wattage it sells, with an external water cooler listed as an option on 60W to 120W sources, including the 120W tube in the Speedy 360, 400 and the new 480, whose datasheet lists “air cooling with fan” as the standard cooling. Air-only cooling at high wattage is simpler to build and cheaper to ship. It is not how we build a production RF machine.

  • MIRA 9X, 75W: water and air cooling
  • MIRA X, 150W: integrated active compressor chiller
  • NOVA and Super NOVA: integrated active compressor chiller
What is in the price

The number on our site is the machine, ready to run.

Both companies sell direct, through a manufacturer-owned US company, so there is no dealer margin to argue about on either side. The difference is what the number includes. An AEON price includes the cameras, the touchless autofocus, the chiller, the pass-through, startup training and a 2-year warranty from delivery; every NOVA includes LightBurn. On Trotec’s list the street price is the machine; the Vision cameras are options on most models, an exhaust system is separate, and the TroCare service plan is a line of its own, $1,500 to $4,680 depending on the model.

  • Cameras, autofocus and chiller built in, not optioned

Feature AEON Trotec
Trotec prices are the street prices on Trotec Laser’s 2026 US price list for each model at each listed wattage, as obtained by AEON Laser USA in November 2026. Trotec does not publish machine pricing on its website; freight, exhaust, options and the TroCare service plan are quoted separately and are not included. AEON freight is quoted at checkout and is not included. NOVA RF prices are the configured RF variant. Trotec bed sizes, workpiece heights, speeds, cooling, cameras, autofocus and pass-through are from Trotec’s Speedy Series brochure (issue 09/2025, published January 2026) and its technical datasheets for the Speedy 300, 360, 400, SP500 and the Speedy 480 Black Line (8101 v1.0, August 2026), maintained in AEON’s Trotec master sheet and last synced to this page on November 11, 2026. The Speedy 480 is not on the 2026 price list, so its price is shown as quoted by Trotec. The Speedy 100 cross is a 40W diode laser, not a CO₂ machine, and is not compared. Where Trotec does not publish a figure for a listed model, the line says so. Speed and acceleration are each company’s published maxima for engraving and do not establish cut rate, cycle time or engraving quality on your material.

Trotec’s SpeedMarker fiber marking stations, SpeedMarker 300, 700 and 1300, from $44,693 to $134,805 on the same list, are marking systems rather than CO₂ flatbeds and are not compared line for line. For a shop that needs both metal marking and CO₂ cutting, the Super NOVA 16S at $41,999 carries a 60W MOPA fiber source and a 150W RF CO₂ source on one 63 × 39 inch bed, for less than a 20W SpeedMarker 300.

Where the money goes

What the Trotec price buys, and what it does not.

Four matchups to check before you sign a Trotec quote.

Speedy 100 vs MIRA 6X and MIRA 9X

The Speedy 100 is $21,659 with 50W and $25,289 with 80W on a 24 × 12 inch bed. The MIRA 6X is $6,999 with 40W on the same class of bed, and the MIRA 9X is $9,999 with 75W on a 35 × 18 inch bed, water cooled, with lid and head cameras and touchless autofocus included.

$11,660 to $15,290 less. A bigger bed on the 9X.

Speedy 400 vs MIRA X

The Speedy 400 has a 40 × 24 inch bed and the MIRA X a 39 × 24. The Trotec is $52,734 with 80W and $61,039 with 120W, air cooled. The MIRA X is $17,999 with 150W and a compressor chiller in the cabinet. The Speedy 400 is faster across the bed and has more Z height; it does not cut thicker material.

$34,735 to $43,040 less. More tube, chilled.

SP500 vs NOVA 14S and 16S

The SP500 is $71,489 with 120W on a 49 × 28 inch bed. The NOVA 14S puts a 55 × 35 inch bed under a 130W DC tube for $19,999 or a 150W RF tube at 4,200 mm/s for $32,999, and the NOVA 16S puts 150W RF on 63 × 39 inches for $35,999, all with the chiller built in and LightBurn included.

$35,490 to $51,490 less. More bed, more power.

Speedy flexx vs Super NOVA 16S

Trotec’s flexx machines pair a CO₂ source with a 30W or 50W fiber source, from $59,499 for the Speedy 300 flexx to $98,692 for the Speedy 400 flexx. The Super NOVA 16S pairs 150W RF with a 60W MOPA fiber source on a 63 × 39 inch bed for $41,999, with the chiller built in.

$17,500 to $56,693 less. More fiber, more CO₂, more bed.
Why we chill the tube

An RF tube is a heat problem before it is a light problem.

A CO₂ RF source converts roughly a tenth of its input into laser light. The rest is heat in the tube body. Output power, pulse response and beam mode all move with tube temperature, so the machine that holds temperature steady is the one that cuts the same at the end of a shift as it did at the start.

Below about 60W, a well-designed air-cooled tube can shed that heat. Above it, the honest engineering answer is liquid cooling, which is why the industrial RF sources used in production machines are water cooled. We build it in: the MIRA X carries an integrated active compressor chiller, the 9X runs water and air, and every NOVA and Super NOVA has an active compressor chiller in the cabinet. There is no external unit to buy, place or plumb.

Trotec runs a fan as standard on every Speedy source it sells, from the 30W Speedy 50 to the 120W Speedy 360 and 400, and lists an external water cooler as an option on 60W to 120W sources. Trotec presents the air-cooled ceramic source as a feature because it removes a thing to maintain. Without the optional cooler, it also removes the thing that keeps a 120W tube at 120W on hour three.

Before you sign either quote

Ask both of us the same five questions.

What wattage the price includes, how the tube is cooled, why the prices are so far apart, what the warranty covers, and what the all-in number and delivery date are in writing. Here are our answers next to Trotec’s.

AEON Laser USA, Inc.

The manufacturer’s US company
What wattage is in this price, and what does the next step up cost?
150W RF on the MIRA X at $17,999 and on the NOVA RF from $32,999, with every price published on aeonlaser.us. There is no wattage upcharge to ask about: the tube in the price is the tube you get.
How is the RF tube cooled?
With a chiller built into the cabinet on every RF source above 60W, so a 150W tube holds its temperature and its rated output through a long job. Nothing external to buy, place or plumb.
Why is there such a price gap for similar specs?
Because the price is the machine. You buy direct from the manufacturer through its own US company, every price is published, and the cameras, autofocus, chiller and warranty are in the number. What the AEON price buys is more power, more bed and a liquid-cooled tube, not less of anything.
What does the warranty cover, and when does the clock start?
Two years from the day you receive the machine, honored by the manufacturer in the US. On the MIRA X Series that covers the machine, the electronics and the tube. There is no service plan to buy on top.
What is the all-in number, and when does it arrive?
The published price plus freight quoted at checkout. LightBurn is included on every NOVA, and startup training is free. In-stock machines ship in two weeks, pre-orders in six, and the date goes in writing before you sign.

Trotec Laser

An Austrian manufacturer selling through its own US subsidiary
What wattage is in this price, and what does the next step up cost?
Each wattage is its own line on the price list: the Speedy 400 is $52,734 at 80W and $61,039 at 120W, the Speedy 300 is $34,309 at 80W and $44,473 at 120W. Ask for the configured number, and ask what the fiber source adds on a flexx.
How is the RF tube cooled?
With a fan as standard, on every Speedy up to 120W; an external water cooler is an option on 60W to 120W sources. Ask what output a 120W source holds on the third hour of a job, and what the service interval on the fan and heatsink is.
Why is there such a price gap for similar specs?
Ask the rep to itemize it. The Speedy 400 at $61,039 and the MIRA X at $17,999 have near-identical beds, 40 × 24 and 39 × 24 inches, and ultrasonic autofocus; the MIRA X includes its cameras, has 150W to the Trotec’s 120W and a chiller the Trotec does not. What the extra $43,000 buys is Austrian assembly, the Trotec name, Ruby software and a faster gantry. Decide whether those are worth it to your shop.
What does the warranty cover, and when does the clock start?
Trotec’s 2026 Speedy Series brochure lists 2 years as standard. Confirm what is covered, whether the laser source is included, and whether coverage runs from delivery or from shipment. Ask what the TroCare plan on the quote, $1,500 to $4,680 depending on the model, adds and for how long.
What is the all-in number, and when does it arrive?
Street price plus freight, exhaust, the Vision cameras if you want them, and TroCare if you take it. Delivery is set by Trotec’s US stock and the Austrian build queue. Ask for a date in writing.
Where Trotec is better

We would rather you read it here than find it later.

Trotec has real advantages, and a comparison that hides them is not worth your time.

  • Built in Austria. Trotec designs and builds its machines in Marchtrenk, Austria. AEON machines are designed and built in Suzhou, China, by the company that owns AEON Laser USA. If European manufacturing matters to your shop, Trotec has it and we do not.
  • Gantry speed. The Speedy 400 and 480 publish 4,320 mm/s and the Speedy 300 and 360 publish 3,550 mm/s, at 5.1G. The MIRA X Series publishes 3,000 mm/s at 8G, and the NOVA RF and Super NOVA 4,200 mm/s at 8G. On large raster fills, a Speedy finishes sooner than a MIRA.
  • Z height. The Speedy 400 takes a workpiece up to 12 inches tall and the Speedy 360 up to 8.2, where the MIRA X publishes 7.09 inches and the NOVA 7.875. If you engrave tall assembled parts, that matters.
  • Ruby software. Trotec’s Ruby is a mature, well-documented laser workflow with a large material database behind it. AEON ships EZMaker and RDWorks on the MIRA and LightBurn on the NOVA; LightBurn is the better-known tool, but Ruby is very good.
  • Direct US service. Trotec Laser, Inc. in Plymouth, Michigan is Trotec’s own US company, with regional sales and field service. On that point the two companies are alike, and it is a point in Trotec’s favor against most other brands.
  • Installed base. Trotec has been building lasers since 1997, and there are more Trotec operators, settings threads and trained techs in the US than for any Chinese-built brand, ours included.

The short version

Two good machines. One costs a third as much for the same job.

Trotec builds a laser that will serve a shop well for a long time, and if being built in Austria or running Ruby is the deciding factor, buy one. We would say that to your face on a Laser Fit Call. What the Trotec price does not buy you is more laser: at every bed size on Trotec’s list, the AEON across the table has more wattage, a bigger or equal bed, liquid cooling where it matters, and a number on the quote that is a third or less, often by $25,000 to $45,000.

Both companies sell direct, so the difference is not a dealer. It is what the price includes and what it buys. Our cameras, autofocus, chiller, training and 2-year warranty are in the published number. What we hear from you on a support call goes to the people shaping the next machine, because we are those people. That is how the MIRA X Series got print-to-cut, touchless focus and a chiller on the 9X.

  • Price. MIRA X, 150W, $17,999 vs Speedy 400, 120W, $61,039. NOVA 16S RF, 150W, $35,999 vs SP500, 120W, $71,489.
  • Wattage. Trotec Speedy models top out at 120W. Every AEON above the 9X ships at 130W or more.

Questions Trotec shoppers ask us.

Is an AEON really in the same class as a Trotec?

On the parts that do the work, yes, and on several it is a class above. RF metal tubes on every MIRA X Series machine and every NOVA RF, at 40W to 150W where the Speedy tops out at 120W. Cameras and autofocus included on every model, where Trotec sells most Vision cameras as options and the Speedy 100 focuses with a manual tool. 3,000 mm/s at 8G on the MIRA X Series, 4,200 mm/s at 8G on the NOVA RF and Super NOVA. And a compressor chiller on every RF source above 60W, which no Speedy has built in. The Speedy has the faster gantry and more Z height. Cut speed comes from wattage, and that is where the gap is widest.

How much less is an AEON?

Against the Speedy 100, $11,660 to $15,290 less for a bigger bed on the MIRA 9X. Against the Speedy 300, 360 and 400, $24,000 to $43,000 less: MIRA 9X $9,999 vs Speedy 300 80W $34,309; MIRA X $17,999 vs Speedy 400 120W $61,039. Against the SP500, $35,000 to $51,000 less: NOVA 16S RF $35,999 vs SP500 120W $71,489. Against the Speedy flexx, $17,500 to $56,693 less: Super NOVA 16S $41,999 vs Speedy 400 flexx $98,692.

Which AEON matches which Trotec?

Speedy 50 and Speedy 100 50W: MIRA 6X. Speedy 100 80W and Speedy 300 80W: MIRA 9X. Speedy 300 120W, Speedy 360 and Speedy 400: MIRA X. Speedy 480 and SP500: NOVA 14S, or the NOVA 16S if you want the 63 inch bed. Speedy flexx and SP500 200W: Super NOVA 16S. The comparison tool above lets you put any two side by side.

Does Trotec publish these prices?

No. Trotec quotes through its sales reps and does not list machine prices on its website. The prices on this page are the street prices on Trotec Laser’s 2026 US price list, as obtained by AEON Laser USA in November 2026, for each model at each listed wattage. Prices change; ask Trotec for a current quote and compare it to the published AEON price for the same bed size.

Is AEON made in the USA or Europe?

No. AEON lasers are designed and built in Suzhou, China, by Suzhou AEON Laser Technology, the company that owns AEON Laser USA. Trotec builds in Marchtrenk, Austria. If European manufacturing is a requirement, Trotec meets it and we do not. If it is not, judge the tube, the cooling, the bed, the warranty and the price.

Who do I call when something breaks?

AEON Laser USA in West Melbourne, Florida, by phone or chat. We are the manufacturer’s US company, so the people who answer work for the company that built the machine and stock its parts. The warranty is 2 years from the day you receive the machine, and on the MIRA X Series it covers the machine, the electronics and the tube. With a Trotec, you call Trotec Laser, Inc. in Michigan or your regional Trotec office, and the TroCare plan on your quote sets what is covered after the warranty.

Why should I trust a comparison AEON wrote?

You should not, on its own. Every AEON figure here links to the product page it came from, every Trotec price is the street price from Trotec’s own 2026 list with the date, and the lines where Trotec has the better number are shaded that way. Then send both companies the same material and compare the parts that come back.
