This question is often asked when using laser markers yet the depth of a mark can differ greatly depending on the marker type the parameters and the material being marked.
Laser marking parameters.
Laser parameters for high quality engraving results.
A lower frequency will generate spotted engraving while a higher frequency will allow line engraving.
To achieve a good result this should be the same or a multiple of the dpi selected in the print setting.
Depending on the laser parameter settings certain materials can also be marked without damaging the surface.
In marking metal and plastic there is a setting parameter range for reference to test speed 100 2000 adjustable power 30 80 adjustable frequency 5 30.
Once the job has been initiated the bi directional communication between the jobcontrol laser software and the laser allows you to change the parameters during the engraving process.
For example the depth when marking plastics can be easily controlled and varied from shallow marks a few microns deep to cutting films 1 mm or thicker.
Ppi and hz parameters.
Laser marking and processing have several parameters that are programmable and can affect the results you achieve on a specific material or substrate.
The q switch is an electro optical system which controls the opacity of a lens making it possible to change the laser beam frequency.
This parameter is used to adjust the laser output frequency by directly operating the q switch.
In the event there is no visible result at low power you can adjust the speed or power directly in jobcontrol.
This guide is designed to provide generalized laser parameters for a variety of marking styles on various materials.
Depends on different materials and the marking effects you want so for a new operator may need conduct dozens of trials to know the ideal marking parameters for each material and even some experienced engineers.
Then save this in your jobcontrol database.
If you set this parameter to auto jobcontrol automatically determines the optimal resolution of the laser pulses.
Additionally you can update your jobcontrol material database with our list of laser parameters.
Selecting the suitable laser parameters.
In the example the selected parameter for p is 80 7 i e.
From the completely engraved matrix select the desired shade from the 100 parameter settings on your engraving material.
87 of the preset p value power.
