Vector Settings
Speed
The Speed setting determines the travel speed of the carriage in Vector cutting
mode and is adjustable in 1% increments from 1 to 100%. The slower the speed,
the deeper the cut. Most cutting applications require relatively slow speed
settings, and the speed is heavily dependent on the hardness and the thickness of
the material being cut. Slower speed settings will also produce better edge
quality. Please refer to the Speed & Power Recommendations section of this
manual. High speeds are provided for draft mode only and are not intended for
production applications.
Power
The Power setting determines the amount of laser energy that is delivered to the
piece being cut and is adjustable in 1% increments from 1 to 100%. The higher
the power, the deeper the cut. The amount of power necessary to cut completely
through a given material is also heavily dependent on the hardness and the
thickness of the material. Please refer to the Speed & Power Recommendations
section of this manual.
