FUSION ASCENT LASER MACHINES
The Fusion Ascent by Epilog Laser is our newest entry-level CO2 laser engraving, cutting, and marking system, combining hobbyist-level pricing with industrial-level engineering. Engrave and cut projects from a variety of materials including wood, acrylic, textiles, paper, plastic, and much more. The Fusion Ascent series features up to 60 IPS (1.5m/s) engraving speeds with industry machine level precision.
Comprised of the Fusion Ascent 12, 24, and 36, all the machines in the Ascent Series feature Epilog’s revolutionary IRIS™ Camera Registration System that gives laser operators a real-time image of the engraving table so they can quickly and accurately position their artwork on even the most uniquely shaped items. Additionally, these easy-to-use laser machines include a 7-inch LED-lit touch display, trace capabilities at the laser, as well as SAFEGUARD™ features that keep the mechanics of your laser cleaner than ever.

Features: Benefits of Epilog’s Fusion Ascent Laser System
The Fusion Ascent laser engraving and cutting machines from Epilog Laser combine our top-of-the-line technology and our latest features in a compact desktop format, leveraging over three decades of laser machine design and manufacturing experience to create a powerful and truly modern system.
IRIS™ Camera Positioning
Overhead cameras provide a real-time image of the work area for accurate artwork placement.
Touch Screen at the Laser
Select between jobs, auto focus the laser, and rerun jobs at the touch of a button from the easy-to-use touch screen interface right at the laser.
SAFEGUARD™ Features
Keep the mechanics of your laser machine cleaner than ever before with side enclosures and a fully covered x-axis assembly.
Air Assist
The air assist directs air right at the cutting surface to remove heat and combustible gases from the point of laser contact, providing a cleaner cut.
CO2 Waveguide Laser Tubes by Epilog
Metal/ceramic tube design provides higher beam quality and longer life with low recharge costs.
1 GB Memory in the Machine
Improve job management and data integrity with 1GB of RAM. Save your most run jobs right at the laser.
Long-Life Steel Bearing
A dual block design provides the most rigidity and reduced vibration without the inevitable wobble and replacement of plastic bearings.
Engineered & Manufactured in the USA
Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in our Golden, CO headquarters at the base of the Rocky Mountains.
Use your laptop or tablet, now supporting Mac OS
Epilog is excited to announce its new application, Epilog Pulse, which allows users to control their equipment from nearly any device – including those with Mac operating systems – without having to install anything.
Epilog Pulse allows you to connect through PCs, Macs, and tablets. While most of our customers use personal computers, MacOS is the second most used operating system in the world with an estimated 100 million users.

Floor Stand
An easy-to-use stand for moving your laser around your workspace, this wheeled cart is specially designed for the Fusion Ascent laser machines. It provides you greater versatility within your work environment and the ability to easily transport your machine to different locations.
Air Assist Pump
This high-quality air compressor blows a constant stream of air across the cutting area, which removes heat and combustible gases from the work area and provides the best cutting results available. The rubber vibration-dampening feet reduce the noise level of the compressor, and connection is a breeze with our quick-connect inlet and outlet ports on the compressor and the laser system.
Rim Drive Rotary Device
The Rim-Style rotary attachment adds the ability to engrave bottles, glasses, flashlights, or any other cylindrical item. The rotary attachment is as easy to set up as placing your product on the rotary, raising or lowering the scissor lift to level the engraving area, and printing to the laser.
3-Jaw Chuck Rotary Device
With the 3-Jaw Chuck rotary, objects are clamped into the device’s 3-jaw chuck, allowing you to rotate cylindrical or oddly-shaped items in applications that demand more precise alignment.
Lens 1.5″
Although the standard 2.0-inch lens provides amazing detail, our 1.5-inch lens assembly is designed for the highest-resolution engraving and etching of extremely small fonts.
Lens 4.0″
The 4″ optional lens produces a focused beam over a longer vertical distance, which makes it ideal for cutting through very thick materials.
