Step 2
Step 2: Laser process
Set the parameters like described below. The laser parameters may vary depending on the type of your laser machine and available laser power.
Laser Parameters:
| Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| black | engraving CO2 | 40 | 100 | 600 |
| red | cutting CO2 | 35 | 1.2 | 1000 |
| Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | on | 1mm | High Quality |
| 1 | on | - | - |
Info:
- Run the engraving from bottom to top so that the dust can be perfectly exhausted
- For the cut we used the JobControl® standard parameter for quality
- You can download the JobControl® material parameter from www.troteclaser.com
