Pros & Cons
ULS PLS6.150D
What we like
- Highest CO2 power in the non-Ultra lineup — up to 150W with dual lasers
- Optional SuperSpeed™ dual-laser mode roughly doubles raster throughput
- Same large 32"×18" work area as the VLS6.75
- Rapid Reconfiguration™ tool-free laser source swaps
- Built for sustained high-volume production, not just prototyping
Watch out for
- Quote-only pricing — likely ULS's most expensive CO2-only platform
- Heaviest current ULS platform outside the Ultra series at 345 lbs (156kg)
- CO2 only — no fiber laser option for bare metal (unlike the ULTRA series)
- Requires a dedicated Windows PC via USB
- No camera registration or WiFi
ULS VLS6.75
What we like
- Largest work area in the Platform Series at 32"×18"
- Dual 4in exhaust ports rated for higher CFM than the smaller VLS3.75/4.75
- Up to 75W CO2 for cutting depth on wood and acrylic
- 7in (178mm) rotary capacity
- Rapid Reconfiguration™ tool-free laser source swaps
Watch out for
- Quote-only pricing through authorized resellers
- Heaviest Platform Series model at 325 lbs (147kg)
- Requires a dedicated Windows PC via USB
- No camera registration or WiFi
- Same 75W power ceiling as the smaller, cheaper VLS3.75 — the upgrade is size, not power
