Laser Welder Firmware Upgrade

1. Download the firmware installation package

(1) On the touchscreen of your device, tap System settings. Then, check the machine firmware version.
The first four digits following “V” (eg. 40.70) represent the device version, and the next three digits (eg. 001) represent the device firmware version.

(2) Select the appropriate firmware package based on the device version shown on the touchscreen:


Next, compare the firmware version displayed on the touchscreen with the final three-digit group in the firmware package name. For example, in 40.70.013.zip, 013 is the firmware version. If the firmware version on your device is lower than the version in the package, download the corresponding package and update the firmware.

Note: xTool MetalFab Laser Welder 1200W is available in two device versions: 40.70 and 40.72. Make sure you select the firmware package that matches the device version displayed on your touchscreen. Do not use the firmware package that does not match your device version. For example, do not use 40.72.002.zip for a V40.70 device.


(3) Unzip the downloaded package.
