Q&A
A: The S1 IR module is designed with a universal mounting interface. With the optional adapter plate + dovetail holder, it mounts directly to the Max 4 module holder and remains backward-compatible with older NEJE frames (NEJE 3 Max, NEJE 5 series) via standard 4-pin/PWM interfaces. No firmware lock-in.
Q2: How easy is it to swap between the E80 (diode) and S1 (IR) modules?
A: Extremely easy. The community-proven dovetail + adapter plate method allows tool-free swapping in seconds. Users can alternate between the E80 24W blue diode (for wood/MDF/deep steel engraving) and the S1 1064nm IR (for stainless/aluminum/plated metal deep engraving) without mechanical rebuilds.
Q3: What materials can the S1 IR module actually process?
A: The S1 excels at deep engraving on 0.5mm stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and electroplated surfaces (chrome/nickel/zinc). It is purpose-built for reflective metals where blue diodes struggle. Not for cutting thick plate—focus is permanent, tactile marking and deep engraving.
Q4: Can NEJE offer a fully enclosed system with fume extraction for metal work?
A: This is acknowledged as a valuable direction. While the S1 module itself is open-frame compatible, NEJE recognizes demand for enclosed Class-4 stations with HEPA/activated-carbon filtration for metal/plastic fume safety. Community ideas (slot + tray) are noted for future accessory development.
Q5: What is the expected price point for the S1 IR module?
A: Early-bird pre-order pricing is positioned competitively against entry-level 4W IR lasers. Pre-order saves $70 (≈€65), ships within 24 hours. Final MSRP aligns with professional IR tools, not toy-grade pointers.
Q6: Does the S1 support grayscale or only depth/contrast marking?
A: Correct. The S1 uses PWM multi-level power control for switching between fine marking and deep engraving. It does not produce grayscale photos like a 300dPI blue diode (E80). Its strength is high-contrast, tactile, permanent metal marks.
Q7: Can the S1 be used for large-format work (e.g., 700×2000mm leather + guitar bodies)?
A: Yes. The S1 is a module, not a machine. Paired with extended-axis NEJE frames (Max 4 + extensions) it covers large-format metal plates, neck plates, amp panels, and custom knife etching. IR wavelength ensures consistent focus behavior across long travels when paired with proper mechanical calibration.
