AMADA 1212@II - Problems with marking.

(OP)
Hello Friends,
I have trouble marking and then cut.
Performs priece and then marking. If low power priece (101) after marking not cut.
Table of Priece low power for marking and at the same time high power for cutting? this can be done?

As for marking priece cancels?

I look and Greetings,

So, E10 on the cutting conditions page is for "marking" / "etching". When you call that one out, it should turn off the actual pierce. Then, when you are done with the etch, switch to E4 or which ever you prefer to do the actual cutting.

LASERNINJA, Good day.

I happen to run the indication for engraving!

Question: what is the best choice for marking good?
Machine: C1500B
Material: H.R.S. (Hot Roller Still - SAE1010)
Gas assistant?

I look and greetings.

RE: AMADA 1212@II - Problems with marking.

I haven't done that for a long time, but as I recall:
There's a couple of different kind of marks you can leave on steel with a CO2 laser.

You can run a nice shiny bead, using low pressure inert gas. Basically you're running a puddle along the surface.
More power and more pressure, and you'll blow the molten steel away and make a shallow trench. Hard to get anything that looks good.
Run pretty high power, real short pulse width,and make a series of dots along the surface. A bit like the trench, but better controlled.
But in any case, the trick is to find a parameter that will mark ok at your set feedrate without digging in too much at the corners.
By definition, your speed drops to zero at a sharp corner. If the machine is quick or the materials is thick, then no prob.

Probably air is fine for cover gas. Fairly low pressure, cause you're trying not to cut...

But I hope folks who've done it a lot more recently can chime in.
Regards
Jay
