Marking parameters are
expected to vary slightly with different model laser
systems. The following table provides typical laser settings
for marking on various surfaces
with the
one of the most popular CerMark/TherMark marking materials
for metals, LMM 14 Black and LMM6038
This table is for
reference only. The parameters should be used as a starting
point.
Different metal groups within the same class will
mark at different speeds depending
on the alloy
combinations. Some experimentation and adjustment may be
appropriate
to determine the optimal laser setting for the
surface. For assistance, please contact
one of LaserSketch's
technical specialists.
