Laser etching with Trumpf CO2 laser
Laser etching with Trumpf CO2 laser
(OP)
Hello,
I'm working on bringing the ability to etch part numbers into our parts and replace the old way (hand stamping every part).
I have had some success so far but it is far too time consuming to fully jump in.
I am attaching a screenshot of my tech tables for 1/4" A36 marking. The parts are powdercoated after we etch them so the etching needs to be deep enough to show through after that process. These settings show up but could be deeper (and would prefer them to be deeper and more defined).
This brings me to my question.... which settings should I change to make the marking deeper and also bring it up to the default 120 in/min.
