Upgraded Full Metal Lens Assembly V2.0 for Omtech Polar and Gweike Cloud
Upgraded Full Metal Lens Assembly V2.0 for Omtech Polar and Gweike Cloud
Share
This is an improved lens assembly for the Omtech Polar and the Gweike Cloud. It replaces the stock lens assembly and affords the user several key qualities of life features.
A lens is NOT included.
For those who already have the V1.0 nozzle, you can purchase the upgrade kit to get the new lens body and the magnetic lens compatibility. The metal nozzle is fully compatible with V2.0. Do NOT get the upgrade kit if you do not have the metal air assist nozzle already. If you have any questions about which you need, please reach out and I’ll take care of you.
Features:
- Magnetic Lens for extremely quick changes and cleanings. Can be used with either the great magnetic lenses from American photonics, or a standard loose 15mm diameter lens.
- User replaceable lens. The lens can also be easily removed for replacement/cleaning without removing the rest of the assembly.
- Optimized airflow path. This helps in two ways.
- Reduces charring and burning around engravings and the edge of cuts.
- Acts as an air knife, keeping any dust/debris/residue from accumulating on or near the lens. This, in turn, reduces the frequency of needing to clean the lens and extends the longevity of them.
- All metal design for excellent strength, durability and high temp/flame resistance. Meaning it can survive whatever you, or your material, decide to throw at it. No more melted nozzles!
- As always, designed and made in the USA, Minnesota to be more specific, with American-made materials.
You will need a lens for this assembly. The lens in the OEM assembly is glued in place and therefore not compatible.
I recommend purchasing from American Photonics as they make proven high-quality stuff right here in the USA.

15mm Loose Lens - https://bit.ly/3R2RNe2
Again, a 15mm/AP Magnetic lens is NOT included.
This will raise the lens compared to the stock. With the loose lens it will be 0.5mm higher, and with the AP magnetic lens it is 1.5mm higher. I recommend performing a focus test to verify your new focus distances.
This lens assembly also reuses the lock ring from the original lens assembly provided by Omtech.
Don’t forget to check out my Omtech Polar fan duct for improved air extraction as well.
I had the American Photronics magnetic lens assembly for my Polar 350, using the original cheap plastic non-threading air assist torture elbow connector. This unit replaced it using the magnetic lens I had (fits perfectly) and works great blowing the air down at the material and not straightforward into the lens tube. Big difference when cutting for sure.
Highly recommend this time saving and hassle free lens cleaning piece of equipment,
Easy set up, with easy instructions, great customer service when I messaged to ask questions. And the product makes it so much easier to clean the machine
Great product that installed perfectly into my Polar. Purchased the magnetic lens (with 2" focal length) from American Photonics to go with it. Now lens cleaning is (literally) a snap.
For those that are interested, Fiore claims the American Photonics magnetic lens sits 1.5mm higher than the stock lens. This suggests that the stock Polar Z-height focus formula (Z = 17mm - material thickness) should be bumped by 1.5mm (becoming Z = 18.5mm - material thickness).
Well, I just ran the LightBurn focus test on 3mm basswood and got the sharpest (thinnest) lines at Z = 15.5mm, so indeed the formula should be Z = 18.5mm - material thickness.
Looks like Fiore is bang on with their information.
This adapter makes cleaning the lens so incredibly easy! The installation video and instructions are super simple. I installed mine this morning and the results are fantastic!
Works amazing! Still learning the new focus which is tricky but I love it
