MIRA 5S

The AEON Laser MIRA 5S is a compact desktop CO₂ laser engraving and cutting machine designed for makers, small businesses, educational environments, and production workshops. It features a (11-3/4″ x 19-3/4″) work area, integrated cooling and exhaust systems, and professional-grade performance in a desktop footprint.

The MIRA 5S can cut and engrave a wide range of non-metallic materials, including:

• Wood and Plywood
• Acrylic
• Leather
• Paper and Cardboard
• Rubber
• Fabric and Textiles
• Cork
• Glass (engraving only)
• Stone and Slate (engraving only)

The machine can also mark coated or treated metals when used with the appropriate settings. PVC and similar chlorine-based plastics should never be processed due to hazardous fumes.

A Glass DC tube and an RF (Radio Frequency) tube both generate laser energy but use different methods to create plasma. Glass DC tubes use internal electrodes powered by direct current, while RF tubes use radio frequency energy and typically have no electrodes in the discharge region. RF tubes deliver superior beam quality, greater stability, and faster pulsing, resulting in sharper details, finer text, cleaner edges, and overall higher engraving quality, especially for intricate designs and precision marking applications. Glass DC tubes, with their typically higher power output, are often better suited for cutting applications where speed and material penetration are the primary requirements. As a result, RF tubes are preferred for high-quality engraving, while DC tubes are commonly chosen for cutting-focused applications.

The MIRA 5S is significantly faster than many hobby-grade laser systems. Glass-tube models can reach engraving speeds up to 1,500 mm/s, while RF-equipped models can achieve 3,500 mm/s with advanced servo motor systems.

Yes. The MIRA 5S features an all-in-one design that includes:

• Built-in water cooling system
• Built-in exhaust fan
• Built-in air assist pump

This integrated design reduces setup complexity and saves valuable workspace compared to systems that require separate external components.

The MIRA 5S is compatible with LightBurn, one of the most popular laser control software platforms available. It also supports RDWorks. Users can connect via USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB flash drive depending on their workflow requirements.

Absolutely. Many small businesses use the MIRA 5S for producing signs, gifts, awards, personalized products, acrylic items, leather goods, and custom engraved merchandise. Its combination of speed, precision, and compact size makes it well-suited for both startup and established production environments.

Yes. The MIRA 5S can be equipped with a rotary attachment for engraving cylindrical objects such as:

• Tumblers
• Glassware
• Mugs
• Bottles
• Pens

This allows users to expand into profitable personalization and promotional product applications.

The MIRA 5S is designed as a Class 1 enclosed laser system and includes multiple safety features such as:

• Fully Enclosed Cabinet
• Lid Interlock Protection
• Water Flow Monitoring
• Temperature Alarms
• Diagnostic and Warning Systems
• Protected Optical Path

These features help create a safer operating environment for users in commercial, educational, and home workshop settings.

The MIRA 5S offers several advantages over typical hobby-grade machines, including:

• Faster Engraving Speeds
• Professional-Grade Motion System
• Integrated Cooling and Exhaust
• Autofocus
• Wi-Fi Connectivity
• Pass-Through Material Doors
• Higher Reliability and Durability
• US Based Technical Support

For users who need a compact laser capable of serious production work, the MIRA 5S bridges the gap between hobby equipment and industrial systems.
