**1. Understanding the Basics of Han’s Laser Marking Machine**
Before diving into the operational steps, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the basic components of the Han’s Laser marking machine. The machine consists of a control panel, laser source, beam delivery system, and a worktable. The control panel is used to adjust settings and select the desired marking program. The laser source emits a high-powered laser beam that is guided through the beam delivery system onto the workpiece.
**2. Preparing the Surface for Marking**
To achieve optimal marking results, it is crucial to properly prepare the surface of the workpiece. Start by ensuring that the surface is clean and free from any dust, grease, or contaminants. Use an appropriate cleaning agent and a lint-free cloth to wipe the surface thoroughly. Additionally, if you are marking on a metal surface, applying a coating of marking paste can enhance the contrast of the mark.
**3. Adjusting Laser Parameters**
Once the workpiece is prepared, you need to adjust the laser parameters according to the material you are marking. Han’s Laser marking machines offer a variety of adjustable parameters, including laser power, marking speed, frequency, and focal length. These parameters should be optimized based on the characteristics of the material, such as its hardness and thermal conductivity. Refer to the machine’s user manual or consult with Han’s Laser support for specific recommendations on parameter settings.
**4. Running the Marking Program**
After adjusting the laser parameters, it’s time to run the marking program. Using the control panel, select the desired program and enter any necessary input data, such as text or graphics. Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed on the worktable to prevent any movement during the marking process. Once everything is ready, initiate the marking process by pressing the start button. Pay close attention to the marking quality and adjust parameters if necessary.
