단계별: How to Laser Engrave Plates

1. Prep Your Plate

Clean with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils, 먼지, or protective films. Use masking tape if needed to reduce residue (especially on plastics).

2. Load Your Design in Software

Whether you’re using 라이트번 또는 EZCAD2, import your vector file (SVG, DXF) or bitmap (JPG, PNG) and scale it to fit your plate size.

3. Set Your Parameters

Sample Settings for Fiber Laser (B6):

  • 재료: 스테인레스 스틸
  • 속도: 800 밀리미터/초
  • 힘: 40%
  • 빈도: 30 kHz
  • 패스: 1–3
  • Hatch: 0.03 mm at 0°/90° crosshatch

Sample Settings for UV Laser (옴니 1):

  • 재료: Acrylic plate
  • 속도: 1200 밀리미터/초
  • 힘: 30%
  • 빈도: 40 kHz
  • 라인 간격: 0.02 mm

💡 팁: Always do a small test engrave in the corner first.

4. Focus and Frame

가능한 경우 자동 초점을 사용하십시오. Frame the job area to ensure proper alignment and avoid clipping the design off the edge.

5. Run Your Engrave

Monitor the first pass. If engraving depth or contrast isn’t sufficient, increase the number of passes or adjust the frequency.

6. Clean and Inspect

Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to wipe off debris. For metal plates, a dab of polishing compound can enhance shine.

Common Troubleshooting Tips

문제원인Fix
Faint engravingLow power or too-fast speedLower speed or increase power
Burned edges (플라스틱)Too much heatSwitch to UV laser or lower settings
MisalignmentPlate not fixed or beam not centeredUse clamps or run “frame” preview
Inconsistent depthUneven focusCheck autofocus or use focus gauge

Best Practices for Long-Term Results

  • Batch your jobs: Use a jig or fixture for engraving multiple plates at once.
  • Record your settings: Save presets in LightBurn/EZCAD2 for repeat jobs.
  • Rotate designs: For multi-directional plates, engrave from different angles for deeper texture.
  • Protect your lens: Use air assist or a fan to blow away debris during metal engraving.
