- Description
- Material Capabilities
- Technical Specs
The Fusion Ascent 12 – Fiber is designed for precision marking and engraving of bare metals and engineered plastics in a compact, production‑ready footprint. It excels at processing materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, titanium, anodized aluminum, and select industrial plastics. Featuring a 24" x 12" engraving table, the Fusion Ascent 12 – Fiber is an excellent choice for shops that need industrial‑grade fiber performance but don’t require a larger work area.
Wattage Options
Higher wattage enables faster engraving speeds and more efficient deep engraving. The Fusion Ascent 12 - Fiber is available as a 30W MOPA fiber configuration. If a machine with your desired wattage or laser type is not currently in stock, you can order one through your distributor.
Do I need the Exhaust and/or Filtration System Accessory?
All lasers require either external exhaust to the outside or an internal filtration unit to remove dust, fumes, and debris from the air. You may use a filtration or exhaust system listed with the machine or source one independently. The Fusion Ascent 12 - Fiber requires an exhaust fan rated at a minimum appropriate CFM for effective operation (consult specifications for exact requirements based on your setup). Factors such as duct length, type, and configuration can affect actual airflow. External exhaust typically uses metal ducting connected to a 4" port on the back of the system.
Recommended dust collector: 1.5HP DC3 Portable Dust Collector Motor Blower (no bag or hose) at Penn State Industries
Recommended filter unit: Filtrabox Compact X Fume Extractor | Filtrabox.com
Shipping
All machinery is shipped in 1-2 weeks with a lift gate.
Training
Online training is included with the system through the Epilog Laser Training Suite, covering setup, basic design concepts, material processing, and maintenance. For in-person training, please contact the distributor in your area to arrange additional packages.
Is additional cooling required?
No additional cooling is required. As with all Epilog laser systems, we use state-of-the-art laser sources that do not require water cooling. The Fusion Ascent 12 Fiber laser system incorporates an air-cooled ytterbium fiber laser.
How do I get support?
Epilog lasers include a comprehensive warranty covering parts, including the laser source. In the event of an issue, contact our Technical Support team for diagnosis and parts shipment. The system is designed for straightforward user repairs, supported by step-by-step video instructions in the Training Suite. Lifetime phone assistance is provided even after the warranty period expires.
Where is the system manufactured?
We are proud to be an American company. All Epilog lasers are designed, engineered, and supported in the USA at our global headquarters in Golden, CO.
Why should I work with my distributor instead of buying online?
