Effect of Laser Processing Parameters on Cut Quality after Engraving

Abstract

Abstract The article deals with the quality evaluation of engraved surfaces of selected materials after application of CO2 E4060 laser. A machined steel was chosen steel ČSN 11 373, engraving was carried out on aluminium alloy EN AW 7075, plexiglass XT, plywood and cardboard. Engraving was performed under predetermined power conditions and laser feed rates. Marking of metallic materials was made after applying the marking paste LMM 6000. The evaluation was made on the basis of a visual inspection and then a suitable combination of parameters was chosen for individual materials.
