2. Safety insturctions

2.1 Laser safety

Laser safety requirements:

The laser beam must be used in controllable area.

The laser beam must be end on a difuser reflective material with appropriate color painting on the surface and
reflectivity to minimize the risk of radiation.
If the above requirements cannot be met, wearing a glasses for protection from laser radiation is a must.

This machine is a laser of Class 4, the direct laser beam, false reflection and diffuse reflection of laser may cause
personal injury or even fire. Therefore, besides the above prcaustion, the following regulastions must be strictly
abserved:

The laser equipment must be installed, debugged and operated by professional anothorized personnel.
The place where the laser marking system is operated must be marked with warning signs.
The laser beam and the incident area must be surrounded by protective shells to prevent false reflection in the
invisible spectrum caused by a small amount of laser radiation.

- 1 -
 The people present should avoid the propagation path of the laser beam.
The end of laser beam where must be carbon plates or other refractory materials of sufficient thickness. However, it
should be noted that the surface of some materials may be vitrified by long- term irradiation, which may cause false
reflection.

Although all safety equipments are adopted, all safety measurea are taken, the user must wear safety glasses to
prevent any possible scattering when operating the laser marking system.

2.2 Other requirements

The laser marking machine must have proper grounding protection.
This laser marking machine generates heat when working, please use it in a well-ventilated place.
Do not use this laser makring machine in a closed environment or a place without any ventilation devices.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and damage, please do not expose the laser marking machine to rain,
and prevent it from damp and splashing water. Ensure that no objects containing liquids are placed on the laser
marking machine.
This laser marking machine is not allowed to be used on higly reflective objects, such as mirrors, metals with
smooth surface, etc.
Never look directly at the laser beam.
Do not expose your skin to laser beam, it will cause burns to your skin.
Machine operators must conduct necessary training and guidance.

 Set Serial Nmber

Begin Num: set the starting value of the serial number.
End Num: set the maximum value of the serial number (if the end value is 0, there is no limit).
Increment: the increased vale.
Repeat: Whether to restart the marking with same starting value of serial number after all serial number have been marked
Default: Yes).

Base: Set the number base for serial number. Decimal, octal, and hex can be set.

 Set Date & Time

There are several default formats to choose for setting date and time time. If there is not what you need, you
can modify the format after selecting，like adding horizontal lines, text, spaces and slash, etc., to get your
desired date format.

For example, “2020/05/23” can be modified as “15:24:23”

 9. Properties And Parameters

Select on the home screen:

- 20 -
 Laser Power - Unit: %. Set the percentage for the optical output of the fiber laser.The power range is 0% -100%.
However, do not set 100%, it will shorten the lifetime of laser source. Maximum value is better to
set to 95%. The initial value is set to 30%. The greater the value, the deeper the marking.

Laser Frequency - Unit: KHz. It’s pulse frequency, the value range is 1KHz - 100KHz.
The initial value is set to 20 KHz.

Run Speed - Unit: mm/s. Set the speed to be used during marking, the speed range is 1-5000mm/s.
If the mark appears to be faint, reduce this value (note that this will increase the marking time).

Jump Speed - Unit: mm/s. Set the speed to be used between marked vectors (speed at which laser jumps from
one vector to the next. If an object consists of many short polygon strokes, then a large value will make
the mark appear distorted. The value range is 1-5000mm/s, the initial value is set to 2000mm/s.

Jump Delay - Unit: ms. Jump delay is the time for the laser to jump from one character to the next characters.
The value range is 1-1000. The initial minimum value is set to 400ms, maximum value is set to 500ms.

Jump-Delay too short: the vector following a jump command is already marked at the end position of the
jump-vector during the necessary setting time of the mirrors. Result: an indent or overshoot becomes
visible.

Jump-Delay too long: has no negative effect on the visible scanning result. The time required increases,
however.

Laser-On Delay - Delay in switching the laser on till galvanometer scanning system finish command.
Laser-On-Delay too short: brun-in effects at the starting point
Laser-On Delay too long: Result: the vector are not marked from the starting point.

Laser-Off Delay - Delay in switching the laser off.

Laser-Off Delay too short: the vector are not marked completely.
Laser-Off Delay too long: the vector are not marked from the starting.
