    Nova Plus 51 Overview

    The Thunder Nova Plus 51 gives production-focused businesses more working space than the Nova Plus 35 while keeping the RF CO2 workflow benefits of the Nova Plus platform. Its 1300 x 900mm work area is well suited to larger signage, acrylic fabrication, MDF products, decor panels and batch production. The MaxLaser-supplied configuration in this brief includes an 80W RF metal laser tube, plus touch autofocus, camera-assisted alignment, dual air assist, air pressure monitoring and removable honeycomb and blade beds. For buyers in South Africa, MaxLaser adds installation, training and lifetime support so the machine is matched to your products, workspace and production goals.

    RF Metal Tube Capability

    The Nova Plus 51 is specified in this MaxLaser brief with an 80W RF metal tube configuration for larger-format production needs. It gives workshops a bigger work area while keeping the Nova Plus RF CO2 workflow benefits.
