Laser marking system
XENO 1 / XENO 1+
Compact desktop system, offering little footprint and a large work area
XENO 1 is a compact desktop system, demanding little footprint and offering a large work area. XENO 1 fits with marking on metals or plastics.
XENO 1 completes the range of cab laser marking systems in the lower price segment. Processing the system complies with high industrial standards.
Galvanometer scanner from SCANLAB "Made in Germany". The XENO 1+ variant has a laser beam source from IPG "Made in Germany" and an extended warranty of 2 + 2 years.
The marking plane is adjustable in heights up to 210 mm with the motor-driven moveable Z-axis and easily and quickly with the focus finder. In case of graduated marking surfaces, the scan head is automatically tracked by software.
Depending from the lens, the size of the marking field is 112 x 112 or 180 x 180 mm. It can be moved from the center to the right margin. The marking can be simulated with the pilot laser.
Interior LED lighting allows observation of the workpiece when the operation door is closed. The workpiece holder is mounted on the groove plate. A rotary axis is available for cylindrical objects.
The automatic operation door opens or closes within seconds. Material can be inserted manually or by a handling system from three sides.
With the comprehensive cabLase marking software layouts are graphically designed, markings controlled and processes monitored.
Legal environmental regulations RoHS and REACH are observed.

The typeplates are marked in reliable manner by cab products XENO 1 and SQUIX 4, either by laser on aluminum or printed on silver self-adhesive labels.
Product & Basics
What is the XENO 1+?
The XENO 1+ is a compact desktop laser marking system by cab. It features an IPG laser source “Made in Germany”, a SCANLAB galvanometer scanner, and comes with an extended warranty of 2+2 years (up to 4 years total). Laser source, scan head, laser class 1 enclosure, extraction, and control buttons are integrated into a single unit – ready to use straight out of the box.
What laser power levels are available?
The XENO 1+ is available with a 20 and 30 watt laser source. These power levels are ideally suited for most metal and plastic applications in the desktop range.
What materials can be marked?
The XENO 1+ marks on metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, etc.), plastics, and laser foils. Typical applications include type plates, serial numbers, Data Matrix codes, barcodes, logos, and plain text. The XENO 1+ can also mark laser foil sheets.
Does the XENO 1+ have a motorised Z-axis?
Yes. The motorised Z-axis allows comfortable and fast height adjustment up to 200 mm. The integrated focus finder supports precise positioning.
Marking fields & Optics
What marking field sizes are available?
Depending on the lens, the marking field is 112 × 112 mm or 180 × 180 mm.
Can the lenses be changed?
Yes. The F-Theta lens can be replaced if needed. A recalibration of the system is required after a lens change to ensure marking accuracy.
What is the focus finder?
The focus finder is a visual aid that simplifies the precise positioning of the workpiece at the focal plane. A visible pilot laser (laser class 2) is projected onto the marking plane.
Workspace & Operation
How does the automatic door work?
The motorised door opens and closes within seconds. Material can be fed manually or via a handling system from three sides. The door can be controlled via a button or the digital I/O interface.
Can I observe the marking process?
Yes. The marking can be observed through the viewing window and the integrated LED interior lighting while the door is closed. Additionally, the marking can be previewed using the pilot laser.
Is a rotary axis available?
Yes. An optional rotary axis with a three-jaw chuck enables the marking of cylindrical workpieces.
Software & Interfaces
What software is used?
All XENO systems work exclusively with CabLase Editor 5. CabLase Editor 5 offers graphical layout design, marking control, process monitoring, and variable data processing (counters, date/time, database connectivity). For customer-specific integrations, cab automation is available.
What interfaces does the XENO 1+ have?
The XENO 1+ offers: 2 × Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s, digital I/O interface with 8 freely programmable inputs and outputs for e.g. fixture monitoring, remote interface, interlock/emergency stop, and a connection for the rotary axis.
Can I mark variable data?
Yes. CabLase Editor 5 supports counters, date/time variables, database connectivity, and external data inputs. Variable QR codes and Data Matrix codes can also be dynamically populated from external sources such as a PLC. cab automation is used for this purpose.
Is ERP/MES integration possible?
Yes. Through our cab automation, we are able to deliver a customer-specific integration for virtually any requirement.
Safety & Laser classification
What laser class is the XENO 1+?
The XENO 1+ is classified as laser class 1 as a fully enclosed system. No special safety measures are required during normal operation.
Is an extraction system required?
Yes. The XENO 1+ has an integrated extraction connection. A certified extraction and filtration system must be connected to safely remove generated particles and gases. cab offers appropriate systems.
Service & Warranty
What is the warranty period for the XENO 1+?
The XENO 1+ comes with an extended warranty of 2+2 years (up to 4 years total).
What maintenance is required?
cab fibre lasers are low-maintenance. The F-Theta lens should be regularly inspected for contamination or damage, and the extraction filters should be replaced periodically.

Extraction and filter device AF5
Laser marking processes produce poisonous dusts and gases. The extraction and filter device protects the health of the operators and prevents both the laser area and lens from contamination. At this, it also ensures that the laser power maintains. The air from the working area is extracted by a highly performant turbine via a flexible hose.
The pollutants resp. dusts are separated by the pre-filter and the filter for suspended particles. Gaseous pollutants are absorbed by the active carbon filter. Cleaned air is then returned to the environment.
The extraction and filter device has a modular design, filters are easy to exchange.
