Dual Laser control? - Co2 & Diode

Community Laser Talk
#1

I have an 80 watt co2 laser but I would like to mount a diode laser for engraving.
Just wondering on peoples thoughts of the possibility of this?

I guess a way of switching between the co2 tube and the diode laser either in software if possible or through mechanical switching? Not sure if the board has multiple laser outputs…

I do have a little Chinese laser engraver but would like everything in one unit to make things easier.
Just throwing it out there!
Thanks
