6.3 Material Placement and Focusing

1. Open the machine lid.
2. Place your material securely on the honeycomb bed. For larger materials, utilize the front and back pass-through doors.
3. Use the red-dot pointer on the laser head to identify the exact engraving point. Adjust the Z-axis (bed height) to achieve optimal focus. The laser head is designed for high cutting precision.

Figure 7: Laser Focus Precision

This image illustrates the benefit of a 0.01x0.01mm thin laser focus, demonstrating how it enables more powerful and precise engraving compared to a wider focus. It also shows that a thin focus allows for cutting up to 20mm in one pass, versus 10mm with a less precise focus.

6.4 Engraving and Cutting Process

1. Prepare your design in compatible software (LightBurn, AutoCAD, etc.).
2. Transfer the file to the engraver via USB, network, or USB stick.
3. Set the appropriate power and speed settings for your material. Refer to the material compatibility table below.
4. Initiate the job from the software or the control panel.
5. Monitor the process through the fireproof viewing window. Do not leave unattended.
6. Once complete, allow the machine to cool and safely remove the material.

6.5 Material Compatibility and Settings Guide

The following table provides general guidelines for cutting depth versus laser power. Actual results may vary based on material density, quality, and specific laser settings.

Figure 8: Cutting Depth vs. Power for Various Materials

This table provides a guide for the maximum cutting depth achievable for different materials at various laser power settings (50W to 150W). Note that for some materials like glass, crystal, ceramic, marble, and stone, only engraving is applicable, not cutting.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your laser engraver.

7.1 Cleaning

• Laser Head and Optics: Regularly clean the laser lens and mirrors with specialized optical cleaning solutions and wipes. Dust and debris can significantly reduce laser power and quality.
• Honeycomb Bed: Clean the honeycomb bed frequently to remove debris and residue from cut materials. This prevents back-reflection and ensures a flat working surface.
• Interior: Keep the interior of the machine free from dust and material scraps.

7.2 Laser Tube Care

• Water Cooling: Ensure the water cooling system is always operational during laser use. Replace the distilled water regularly to prevent algae growth and mineral buildup. A consistent water temperature is vital for laser tube health.
• Lifespan: The laser tube has a lifespan of up to 8000 hours. Operating at lower power settings can extend its life.
