What is ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro?

 The ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro is equipped with a less powerful 5W laser module.

The ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro should be a very solid laser engraver because it has improved mechanics and added an offline touchscreen controller compared to the previous model - the ATOMSTACK A5 Pro.

The ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro has a rectangular engraving area of ​​410*400mm and is equipped with a very high quality control panel with display and quality buttons. It also has an offline controller, so the laser can only be operated via its touchscreen.

Assembly of the machine is simple, it only takes about 20 minutes to assemble it.

ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro also has some special features worth mentioning:

The machine has a cool offline controller that allows us to use the machine without a computer. It is very handy for field jobs and projects that require a lot of the same cutting work. You can set up your design in Lightburn or LaserGRBL as usual, but instead of starting engraving, you export it as gcode to the included SD card using the included SD card reader, then you can use touchreeen to select the file , fine-tune parameters and continue sculpting your designs without using a computer.

It has a solid metal mushroom-style emergency knob that comes in handy when you need to shut down the machine in a hurry.

This is probably one of the best features I hope all lasers will have one day. Limit switches allow you to automatically home the machine so that it always starts from the same position. This way, if you stop sculpting or add another layer of work, you can be sure that the machine will start working in the exact same spot you want. They decided to use cheap tactile switches instead of proper limit switches, but they worked fine.

The ATOMSTACK A5 M50 Pro is equipped with a 5-watt M50 laser module.

The machine has a 32-bit controller board with a touchscreen offline controller. I also recommend buying more quality protected googles with OD6+ protection. You only have one pair of eyes. These lasers work in the visible spectrum, and even reflections can be very harmful to your eyes!

Save your eyes! The included security google is not the best. Do yourself a favor and get a premium OD6+ safe Google Glass for better protection for your eyes!

The focusing process is the same as the Atomstack A5 Pro we tested earlier. For the best cut, the head needs to be 3mm above the engraved surface. Focusing is done by placing the acrylic plate/spacer under the laser head and lowering the laser head onto the spacer. The spacer is 3mm thick and the head remains 3mm above the surface after tightening the z-axis screw.
