Nuwave Laser NCL-1800 Laser Cleaning Parameters

Sourcehttps://nuwavelaser.com/machines/ncl-1800

Air cooling and an 1800 W continuous beam make Nuwave's NCL-1800 the lightest CW cabinet in the published NCL line for large-metal surface preparation. It is the only NCL product page that publishes 1080 nm rather than 1064 nm.

I'm from Nuwave Laser and want to update this data
