- This video covers our Omtech old version 2440 100 watt and a new Omtech 2028 80 watt CO2 Laser with the 2023 upgraded auto focus (Forgot to mention it also comes with through the lens red dot!!!). The video also covers the upgraded air assist with a California air tools compressor and a two stage air assist solution (Cloudray Ultimate Air Assist). This video was made specifically for a friend but may provide some decent info, especially regarding the upgraded auto focus and laser head changes Omtech has implemented in 2023.
Great video i'm surprised you only have 37 subscribers. Looking forward to checking out more of your channel.
Thank you, I think I'm getting to a point where I can start producing some more content. It's been a challenge to this point.
Thanks for this. I just got this same laser today, and will be setting it up this weekend. I was wondering how the laser head came apart as I hadn't seen any videos on that particular AF head. Very cool!
Glad it helped. I had the same issue so just kept looking at the thing until I noticed the set screw and tried loosening it/unscrewing the barrel. I've learned a few other things since this video and need to make an updated one covering those items. Will try to put that up soon.
Thanks for for video. Love the cleats idea!
Thank you for sharing! I just ordered a similar 20x28 and this is a really nice setup! Also the banana WITH scale is fucking next level! :D
Lol, thanks. The banana is an inside joke, glad you appreciate it!
What solenoid valve is on your 2028? I’d love to find a valve like that as I prep for the arrival of my 80w 3624, as having the low flow and high flow would be awesome
Sorry for huge delay, probably way too late. it's a tailonz 2V025-08. It's a 2 way, not 3. in its closed state, air goes out one opening that has a needle valve greatly restricting flow to a "keep the lens clean" setting. Open, it goes out the second channel fill force for cutting. While a 3 way solenoid would be great to allow off, low, high, I don't think the controller nor the lightburn software can handle controlling that. So, I typically use the regulator to turn the air off when not using the laser and back on when starting (I want to get a decent ball valve to simplify that and reduce wear on the regulator but haven't done so yet.
Is that a typical 3 way solenoid, with an exhaust? You just use the Normally Open outlet with a needle valve and shut-off valve?
Great info, thanks?
Yes, I actually bought the 'cloudray ultimate air assist' kit from Amazon that included most of the parts. The solenoid is 3 way - one input and then 2 output. Solenoid off, the air goes out one port to the needle valve, solenoid on, air goes full blast out the other. The needle valve out then Ts back into the line leaving the full blast out. So, solenoid off, you get low flow to keep lens clean (air off in light burn). Air on in lightburn, solenoid on, you get full pressure.
Hi Sean
I'm looking to buy a 60 watt Omtech & immediately replace the glass tube with a Synrad 60 watt air cooled tube. Question I have is from the base of the cabinet that the glass tube holders to the middle of the first mirror, would that be a minimum of 2 7/8" by chance? I can't get Omtech to answer that question for me. Thanks
Sorry, just noticed this, will measure in the morning.
Where did you find the m22 lens retention ring? I can't find them anywhere.
Yeah, that one is/was a challenge that I kinda cheated with ... For our 100 watt 2440, I'd ordered an extra lens tube that came with one of the retainers. Because I also couldn't find one alone to order, I permaently borrowed the retainer from the extra tube.

were did you order the auto focus as I would like to get that for my 60watt as my stock auto focus went up on me?
The new 2023 lasers (at least some models like the 2028-80) come with this new auto focus. I've been looking around to order one for my older 2440-100 and cannot find them yet.
ah I have the AF-2028-60W Red/Black and it came with the side auto focus, sometimes that gets in the way when engraving or cutting with your magnets that keep the wood down, this would solve that issue.@@seanmullen2561
what brand is that led strip lighting ?
Sorry foe huge delay and probably too late - Joylit 24v LEDs from Amazon
