Laser Marking Machine|Optimizing Laser Engraving and Marking
Want to improve the results of laser marking and engraving? Reasonable adjustments to parameters are key.By combining laser power, speed, and frequency with material characteristics and graphic complexity, a practical method of adjustment is provided.By grasping the techniques of matching different metal and plastic materials with different parameters, the user can learn to achieve fine engraving by adjusting the focal length and optimizing the fill mode, and thus improve the clarity of the mark and the speed of the engraving process.
The parameters set on a laser engraver have a direct effect on the quality of the finished product, but many beginners often end up with blurry engravings or damaged materials due to improper parameter settings.First, you need to know the properties of the material. For stainless steel, a high power setting (60-80W) is needed with a medium speed (700-900mm / s). For anodized aluminum, the power needs to be reduced (20-30W) to prevent burning the surface.For fine text, it is suggested that a high frequency pulse (50-80kHz) be used. For complex patterns, a spiral fill mode can be used to increase edge sharpness.
In actual operation, it is necessary to pay attention to focusing calibration. A test is conducted using a 0.1 mm level of precision.If the depth of the carving is insufficient, do not blindly increase power. Try reducing the scanning speed (to 300-500 mm / s) and increasing the number of passes (to 2-3).When encountering reflective materials, an additional 5 ° angle can effectively avoid the problem of laser refraction.Regular maintenance of the mirrors and cooling system is necessary to keep the output stable.
In the testing phase, it is suggested that a parameter comparison chart be created.By comparing the depth of the etching, the color changes, and the smoothness of the edges in different regions, the best parameters can be quickly found.Recording the data from each test and gradually building up a database of parameters for common materials is especially important for improving efficiency in mass production.
