The Haotian CO2 Galvo Enclosure by Clearview Plastics is a heavy-duty safety and ventilation enclosure for Haotian's 35W, 40W, and 60W CO2 galvo markers. Haotian machines have quietly built a real following among US production shops running tumblers, signage, and leather at volume — and they arrive as bare open frames on a fixed aluminum worktable.
This enclosure puts a wall around that. 1/4" aluminum composite panels stop the 10.6 µm beam, door gasketing seals the perimeter, a viewing window lets you watch the pass, and a 4" exhaust port handles the smoke a galvo head generates at production speed.

This enclosure is designed and sized around the following configurations:
XL — 21.5" W × 29.5" D × 34" H
The Haotian's 500 mm motorized Z tower is the sizing driver — with the column raised, standing height goes well past what the smaller cabinets clear. XL handles normal working height with room to spare.
Smaller option: Large (18 × 29.5 × 30.5") only if you work at low column height on flat stock and bench space is the binding constraint.
Size up if: Step to XL+ if you use the full 500 mm of Z travel, run the 300 × 300 mm lens, or work with a rotary. On the 60W water-cooled unit, plan the chiller and hose routing outside the cabinet — tell us and we'll place the pass-through where you need it.
All four sizes are selectable in the configurator above: Medium 15.75 × 23.75 × 27.5" · Large 18 × 29.5 × 30.5" · XL 21.5 × 29.5 × 34" · XL+ 21.5 × 31 × 38.25" (W × D × H). Not sure? Send us your machine and the media you mark and we'll point you to the right size.
RF CO2 galvo markers are Class 4 lasers. A 10.6 µm beam behaves nothing like a fiber beam — it is absorbed rather than transmitted by most solid materials, which is exactly why it engraves wood, acrylic, and leather so well. That also means a direct or reflected strike will mark whatever it hits inside your shop.
A galvo CO2 head covers ground fast, and it makes smoke just as fast. Extraction is not optional on this machine.

Neil Henderson here, owner and head designer at Clearview Plastics. My shop is a California-based artisan design studio, and we build every enclosure in-house in Sacramento. Our panels are professionally CNC-cut for accuracy, with parts designed specifically for each machine we support — this isn't a generic box off a marketplace. When you order through us, you work directly with me, and that relationship comes with my genuine appreciation and skilled, personal help.
Does a CO2 galvo really need an enclosure?
Yes, for two separate reasons. The 10.6 µm beam is a Class 4 hazard that reflects off shiny stock and marks whatever it lands on. And a galvo head moving at thousands of millimetres per second generates smoke far faster than an open bench can clear it. The enclosure handles both.
Does this reclassify my Class 4 laser to Class 1?
No. This enclosure contains the beam, glare, and fumes and dramatically reduces stray-light exposure, but it is not certified to reclassify your laser or to meet ANSI standards. Always wear OD-rated safety glasses for your wavelength and follow Class 4 protocols. If you need a formally certified Class 1 solution, contact us about our Worksafe enclosure.
What are the exhaust and filtration options?
A 4" exhaust adapter is included to vent outside via a flexible hose. Add a 95 CFM or 200 CFM fan or our window exhaust kit, or step up to a heavy-duty Donaldson AD350 laser-rated filtration unit for indoor operation.
Can it act as a pass-through for long or oversized media?
Yes. Add the optional side doors — with two side doors, the enclosure opens on both sides so you can pass long or large stock straight through.
Can I get it assembled?
Yes. Choose the delivered-assembled option and it ships built and ready to use instead of flat-packed. You can also add a magnetic door interlock (2-wire lead) and extra seam sealing.
What if my machine doesn't measure the way you've listed it?
Send us your actual base width, depth, and standing height with the column at your normal working focus. We'll confirm the size before you order, and if nothing standard fits, we cut custom.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy. Unused, undamaged panels with the masking fully attached are eligible for a full refund less return shipping. If panels are damaged after shipment or the protective mask has been removed, we can't offer a refund.
We recommend the XL (21.5" W × 29.5" D × 34" H) for the Haotian CO2 Galvo — size your table to that.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. International orders include brokerage fees for customs. Duties, VAT, taxes, and other fees may need to be collected prior to delivery. Every country and local is different so we cannot provide an exact estimate of these fees.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
