Using the formula and information below, you can discover how much power our laser systems draw as well as how much it costs to operate a laser. Most users are pleasantly surprised at how energy and cost efficient these powerful systems are – even our highest-wattage machine costs less than a dollar a day to operate!<\/p>\n

The cost of operating the laser can be easily figured out by plugging your electricity rates into the formula below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Laser System:<\/strong>\u00a0120-watt Fusion Pro 48 (we’ll demonstrate with our largest and highest wattage laser)<\/p>\n

Typical Maximum Power Consumption of the Laser:<\/strong> 1900 watts<\/p>\n

Power Costs per Kilowatt Hours:<\/strong> $0.075 (This will be different based on your electric company.)<\/p>\n

(wattage x power cost \/ 1000) x\u00a0Time\u00a0in hours\u00a0= cost to operate the laser for one hour<\/p>\n

(1900 x $0.075) \/ 1000 x 1 = $0.143<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So it costs, roughly, just under 15 cents per hour to run the laser, or $1.20 per eight hour day. And that’s for the highest wattage machine that Epilog manufactures – a 60-watt system would be approximately half that cost.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind these numbers may fluctuate depending on your machine and local energy costs; however, the differences will be minimal and will still result in a very cost-effective, energy-efficient operation.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t
