5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
This section outlines the basic operation of your laser engraver.
- Encendido: Turn on the machine using the main power switch. Observe the LED display for status.
- Colocación de materiales: Place your material securely on the working surface. Ensure it is flat and stable.
- Autofoco: The IKIER K1 Pro Max features a motorized Z-axis for automatic focusing. The machine will measure the distance to the object and adjust the focus automatically.
- Power Switching (48W/24W): Utilize the power switch on the laser module to select between 48W for cutting and 24W for fine engraving.
- Preparación del software: Open your chosen software (e.g., LightBurn). Import or create your design. Configure laser parameters (speed, power, passes) based on your material and desired outcome.
- Control de asistencia de aire: The smart air assist system automatically adjusts airflow. Ensure it is enabled for cutting (strong airflow) and set to weak airflow for engraving.
- Iniciar operación: Inicie el proceso de grabado o corte desde el software. Supervise atentamente la máquina durante su funcionamiento.
- Trabajo sin conexión: Para operar sin conexión, copie su grabado o corte files to a USB drive and use the 4.3-inch touch screen to control the machine.
- Apagado: Once the task is complete, power off the machine and disconnect from the power source.

6. Características principales
- Potente salida láser de 48 W: The K1 Pro Max utilizes the latest laser technology, delivering up to 48000mW output power. This enables single-pass cutting of 25mm wood, 19mm black acrylic, and 0.3mm stainless steel. It can also directly carve colored patterns on mirror stainless steel, ceramics, and opaque glass.
- Resume Engraving Function: An advanced automatic power failure recovery system remembers the engraving position, allowing the machine to quickly locate and continue engraving from where it left off after an unexpected power outage. This prevents material waste and ensures uninterrupted production.
- Eje Z motorizado con enfoque automático: Eliminates manual focusing. The intelligent Z-axis automatically measures the distance to the object and adjusts the focus for precise results.
- Revolutionary Design & High Engraving Speed: Upgraded optical axis and linear guides provide stability and reliability, supporting engraving speeds up to 900mm/s, which is significantly faster than many other machines.
- Super Cooling System: Features an innovative dual air duct design with 4 high-quality copper tubes for heat conduction, double rows of large fins, and a high-power fan for maximum heat dissipation of the laser module.
- 32-bit Smart Motherboard: Greatly improves data processing capacity and speeds up machine efficiency.
- Interfaz enriquecida: Includes USB, HDMI, Type-C, Power, and Air Assist interfaces for versatile connectivity.
