100W Glass + 38W RF Dual-Laser | 2,000 mm/s | 35.43" x 23.62" Bed
OneLaser Hydra 9 Gen2: Detail or Cutting Power? Both, in One Cabinet
The OneLaser Hydra 9 Gen2 answers the question every production shop eventually faces: detail or cutting power? Its dual-laser configuration pairs a 100W CO2 glass tube with a 38W RF metal-sealed source, or an available single 70W RF configuration, putting both answers in one cabinet. The glass tube brings deep, fast cutting muscle for thick acrylic, wood, and production stock, while the RF source's tight beam spot delivers crystal-sharp detail, consistent depth, and true 3D photorealistic engraving at up to 2,000 DPI. Across its 35.43" x 23.62" work area, the machine reaches a true 2,000 mm/s engraving speed with industrial-grade 4G acceleration and a 6,000 mm/s travel speed.
Under the hood, the Hydra 9 Gen2 is engineered like production equipment, not a hobby machine. An ultra-high-speed servo motor with advanced PID closed-loop feedback eliminates missed steps, the built-in X-axis linear rail with NVH-optimized construction keeps motion stable at full speed, and the RF source runs on maintenance-free air cooling with a 20,000–30,000 hour lifespan. The optional Q-Switch fiber upgrade (30W/50W, MOPA 60W option) makes the Hydra a true all-material platform. Smart Dual Air-Assist, automatic Z-axis autofocus, red-dot positioning, the offline-capable GT5 industrial DSP control system, front-to-back pass-through, and real-time temperature monitoring with lens protection round out a machine built for years of daily output.

Why the Hydra 9 Gen2
Two Lasers, One Machine — No More Compromises
The dual-laser configuration pairs a 100W CO2 glass tube for deep, fast cutting with a 38W RF source for crystal-sharp detail work, so you stop 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, backed by a 6,000 mm/s travel speed that keeps dead time between cuts to a bare minimum on batch work.
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.

What is the difference between the Hybrid and Pro configurations?
The Hybrid pairs a 100W CO2 glass tube for deep, fast cutting 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 Gen2 cabinet, 35.43" x 23.62" 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 9 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.
