130W Glass + 38W RF Dual-Laser | 51.18" x 35.43" Bed | 8,000 mm/s Travel
OneLaser Hydra 13 Gen2: Large-Format Hybrid Production, No Compromises
The OneLaser Hydra 13 Gen2 scales the Gen2 platform up to serious production dimensions, pairing a large-format 51.18" x 35.43" work area with a dual-laser configuration that combines a 130W CO2 glass tube and a 38W RF metal-sealed source, with a single 70W RF configuration also available. The 130W glass tube powers through thick acrylic, hardwood, and production sheet stock, while the RF source's high-frequency, tight beam spot lays down crystal-sharp detail, consistent depth, and true 3D photorealistic engraving at up to 2,000 DPI. With a true 2,000 mm/s engraving speed, industrial-grade 4G acceleration, and a remarkable 8,000 mm/s travel speed, the Hydra 13 Gen2 covers its big bed at a pace smaller machines can't touch.
The engineering underneath matches the ambition. An ultra-high-speed servo motor with advanced PID closed-loop feedback eliminates the missed steps that distort patterns on stepper-driven machines, while the built-in X-axis linear rail and NVH-optimized construction hold ≤0.01 mm repeat positioning accuracy across the full 51-inch span, even at maximum speed. The RF source runs on maintenance-free air cooling with a 20,000–30,000 hour lifespan, and the optional Q-Switch fiber upgrade (30W/50W, MOPA 60W option) extends the platform into metal engraving. Smart Dual Air-Assist, automatic autofocus, the offline-capable GT5 industrial control system, front-to-back pass-through, and real-time temperature monitoring with lens protection keep daily production moving.

Why the Hydra 13 Gen2
130W Cutting Muscle + RF Detail in One Cabinet
The dual-laser configuration pairs a 130W CO2 glass tube that powers through thick production stock with a 38W RF source for crystal-sharp fine work. No more choosing between throughput and quality; a single 70W RF configuration is also available.
True 2,000 mm/s with Industrial 4G Acceleration
Consistent detail at speeds where other machines slow down, and with an 8,000 mm/s travel speed, the head crosses this big bed between cuts in the blink of an eye.
Servo-Driven Precision, Not Stepper Compromise
The production-grade servo motor with PID closed-loop feedback eliminates the missed steps that cause distortion and incomplete details on stepper machines, every pattern comes out complete, every time.
RF Clarity for Engraving That Sells
The high-frequency, tight beam spot delivers consistent depth and true 3D photorealistic results at up to 2,000 DPI, with cut edges visibly sharper and cleaner than standard CO2 alone.
Expandable to All-Material Capability
Add the optional Q-Switch fiber upgrade (30W/50W, with a MOPA 60W option) for high-speed flying metal engraving and large-format 2.5D metalwork: one machine, three laser technologies.
Production Workflow, Built In
Smart Dual Air-Assist automatically switches between gentle engraving airflow and powerful cutting airflow, automatic Z-axis autofocus and red-dot positioning remove setup guesswork, any 4-pin rotary drops right in, the 1.5"–4" lens range swaps in seconds as full assemblies, and real-time temperature monitoring with alarms, auto shutoff, and lens protection stands guard through long production runs.

OneLaser Hydra 13 Gen2 CO2 Glass/RF Industrial Hybrid Laser Engraver, in your chosen configuration
Package contents can vary by configuration. Call us at 847-971-5099 and we will confirm exactly what ships with this machine before you order.
Choosing Your Configuration
The Hydra 13 Gen2 comes in two laser configurations on the same large-format Gen2 cabinet, work area, servo drive, and control system. The Hybrid pairs both laser technologies in one machine; the Pro is a single, larger RF source for shops that want all-RF operation and air-cooled simplicity.
Hydra 13 Hybrid — 38W RF + 130W DC
Hydra 13 Pro — 70W RF
Laser Source
130W CO2 Glass + 38W RF Dual-Laser
70W RF Metal-Sealed CO2

What is the difference between the Hybrid and Pro configurations?
The Hybrid pairs a 130W CO2 glass tube for deep, fast cutting through thick production stock with a 38W RF source for crystal-sharp detail in one cabinet. The Pro uses a single 70W RF metal-sealed source for all-RF cutting and engraving with air-cooled simplicity. Both share the same 51.18" x 35.43" work area, servo drive, and GT5 control system.
Can it engrave metal?
With the optional Q-Switch fiber upgrade (30W/50W, with a MOPA 60W option) it adds high-speed flying metal engraving and large-format 2.5D metalwork, giving the platform three laser technologies in one machine.
How does the servo drive help?
The ultra-high-speed servo motor with advanced PID closed-loop feedback eliminates the missed steps that cause distortion and incomplete details on stepper-driven machines, holding ≤0.01 mm repeat positioning accuracy at full speed.
Does it run offline?
Yes. The GT5 industrial DSP control system combines a touchscreen with physical keys and runs high-volume jobs offline, with automatic Z-axis autofocus, red-dot positioning, and Smart Dual Air-Assist built in.
What warranty does the Hydra 13 Gen2 carry?
OneLaser's 3-year limited warranty, structured 3-2-1: three years on the frame and structure, two years on electronics, and one year on the laser source.
