Step 12. When you are done engraving, close the engraving software and turn off
the machine in the following order: laser power, control panel, any ventilation,
water cooling system, and emergency power button. Remove the laser key from
the control panel.
Step 13. Clean the bench completely, emptying the lower bracket of any debris.
3.SPECIFIC MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS.
The following instructions are recommendations that can help expedite safe work
with a variety of materials. Users should research the safety and engraving
requirements for their specific materials to avoid the risk of potential problems such
as fire, hazardous dust, corrosive and toxic fumes. Once you know that the product is
safe or with the proper protective equipment in place, it can be helpful to engrave a
test matrix of small boxes produced at various speeds and power settings to discover
the ideal settings for your design. Or start with low power consumption and fast
setup, re-run the design as many times as needed, using progressively increasing
laser intensity.
CERAMICS.
When engraving on ceramics, medium to high power is generally used. Using more
circuits instead of higher power and lower speed can help avoid material breakage
during the working process. Be aware of the health risks posed by dust from ceramic
engraving, especially for repetitive industrial applications. Depending on the material
and workload, a fan or even a complete ventilation system may be required to
resolve the issue. Similarly, operators and others in the work area may need to use
respiratory PPE, such as masks and respirators.
STONE.
When carving all kinds of stones, medium power and medium to fast speeds are
generally used. As with ceramics and glass, be aware of the dust generated
(especially for repetitive industrial applications) and take similar measures to
ensure the safety of users and others in the work area.
