4.7.1 Marking Parameters
Marking speed:
Definition: (Unit: mm/s). Refer to the oscillating speed of MirrorX and MirrorY in the scan head during laser marking.
Range of (1-20,000mm/s).
Initial value of 10,000mm/s.
Application Method: Pay attention to the relation between speed and the power and frequency during adjustment; the faster
the speed is, the higher the frequency is.
Parameter Feature: It directly influences the work efficiency. For bigger value, the marking time is shorter; for smaller value,
the marking time is longer.
Jump speed:
Definition: (Unit: mm/s). Refer to the oscillating speed of MirrorX and MirrorY in the scan head during jumping. Range of
(1-20,000mm/s).
Initial value of 10,000mm/s.
Application Method: It’s the jump speed between strokes when controlling marking characters or patterns; which is the
speed the mirror turns to the start point of the next character or the start point of stroke, after marking one character or
moving to the last stroke, during which, there is no laser.
Parameter Feature: This parameter shall be combined with “Mark Delay” and “Jump Delay” to properly adjust the first
stroke effect of marking characters.
Power:
Definition: (Unit: %). Refer to relative power of laser (actual power is subject to the energy of laser). Range of (1% -100%).
Initial value of 40%.
Parameter Feature: With other parameters remaining the same, the higher the power is, the greater the energy is, the darker
the marking effect is and the deeper the trace is.
Frequency:
Definition: (Unit: KHz). Refer to the number of pulse in unit time, i.e. the number of spot generated per second. Range of
(20KHz--500KHz).
Initial value of 20 KHz.
Application Method: The higher the frequency is, the more and dense the spots are arranged in the unit length. Proper spot
space is good for effect adjusting.
Parameter Feature: With other parameters remaining the same, the lower the frequency is, the higher the peak power is;
which has better direct gasification effect on materials. The laser effect reflected by high frequency is more close to the
average power, i.e. it reflects more heat effect.
Pulse Length: Refer to the duration of maintaining the laser power at a certain value.
Parameter Feature: Under equal frequency, the higher the setting value is, the lower the peak power is.
Laser on Delay:
Definition: (Unit: μs). For laser delay, refer to the laser on delay to wait until the mirror completes command. Range of
(-2,000-2,000μs).
Initial value of 30μs.
Application Method: When the mirror jumps to the starting position of next character or pattern from the current arrest point,
the mirror’s response to the position signal may be later than the moment the signal is sent out by the system, so the Laser
on Delay must be opened to wait until the mirror jumps to corresponding position and then send out laser. Thesettings are
20
related to the response time of laser. Generally, the value is positive. However, when the laser response time of laser is
longer than the response time of mirror, the value shall be negative.
Proper laser on delay parameters can eliminate “overlapping point” or “tailing” at the beginning of marking. However, too
long laser on delay may cause lacking of stroke in the starting section.
Mark Delay:
Definition: (Unit: μs). Refer to pen writing delay, delay of mirror signal and
the delay from the last point of pen to the first point of jump.
Parameter Feature: Too short delay may cause “tailing” and slinging point
between the previous writing and the next writing; Too long delay may
seriously increase mark time, depending on the materials.
(Red arrows represents mark delay)
Jump Delay: Refer to the time delay for laser jumping between characters.
Parameter Feature: Too short delay may cause laser leakage and slinging point
between the previous writing and the next writing; Too long delay may
seriously increase mark time, depending on the materials.
Corner Delay:Definition: (Unit: μs). Refer to the time delay of mirror signal
at the character corner. (Range of 30-200).
(Red arrows represent jump delay)
Initial value of 150μs.
Application Method: Time delay required for character corner or arc line laser marking. If the time delay is not proper, there
may be burned black at the corner or arc line. The time delay required varies with the marking materials and marking speed.
Parameter Feature: It mainly refers to the time delay at corner for controlling laser marking character or pattern.
Too long time delay may cause dark spot on the laser marking character or pattern at the corner or the color at corner is darker
than that of straight line. Too short time delay may cause a circular bead of laser marking character or pattern at the corner. The
time delay is related to the marking speed. The faster the marking is, the longer the corner delay is.
RBI time: Definition: (Unit: μs).,When the use of dot matrix font when the effective, characterize each point of the light
21
time. This parameter does not work when drawing a line font.
1 2 3
Case 1: There is no laser on the line section of beginning end (red line is the line section without laser) as shown in the figure
below. It’s caused by too long laser on delay, so the laser on delay shall be shortened;
Case 2: There is “overlapping point” on the line section of beginning end as shown in the figure below, i.e. laser overlapping at
the beginning section. It’s caused by too short laser on delay, so the laser on delay shall be prolonged;
Case 3: The line is proper and there is no “overlapping point” as mentioned in Case 2, this is what we need and the laser on
delay is proper.
Adjust the laser off delay: similarly, mark the above text and observe the line at the end of each segment of the mark letter,
there may be three cases as below, which is similar to the beginning section:
1 2 3
Case 1: There is no laser on the line section of en (red line is the line section without laser) as shown in the figure below. It’s
caused by too short laser off delay, so the laser off delay shall be prolonged;
Case 2: There is “tailing” on the line section of end as shown in the figure below, i.e. laser overlapping at the end section.
It’s caused by too long laser off delay, so the laser off delay shall be shortened;
Case 3: The line is proper and there is no “tailing” as mentioned in Case 2, this is what we need and the laser off delay is
proper.
Because different manufacturers use different lasers and galaxies, performance is also different, there is a different code
material, and sometimes in any way to modify the opening delay and light delay, can not make the length of the line
segment is appropriate, and the line is not a straight line.there may be other cases as below:
1 2 3
Case 1: The beginning line is deformed, at this time; the jump delay shall be prolonged.
Case 2: The ending line is deformed, at this time; the jump delay shall be prolonged.
22
Case 3: the beginning and ending line are not deformed, so the two delay parameters are proper. With no deformation of
line, the lower the mark delay and jump delay, the better. Too long delay but normal line may cause the mark efficiency.
1 2 3
Case 1: As shown in the figure above, the graph with sharp angle required turns to arc angle. It’s caused by too short corner
delay, so the corner delay shall be prolonged.
Case 2: As shown in the figure above, the graph with sharp corner required turns to sharp angle but the top of right angle is
overlapped by laser. It’s caused by too long corner delay, so the corner delay shall be shortened.
Case 3: As shown in the figure above, the graph with sharp corner required turns to sharp angle, there is no top as
overlapping point. So the corner delay is proper.
After the above parameter settings, these parameters can be used for marking. It’s best not to modify the setting parameters,
as the marking effect will be influenced after modification. Adopt similar method to establish and save other marking
parameters. Thereafter, there is no need to modify parameters each time, just directly select the marking parameter required,
which can greatly reduce the repeated work and improve work efficiency.

Penumbing size correction:
Create a new code file, import a square PLT file, modify the size of the lens "area size" of 70%
Correction method:First look at the two vertical lines that is the AC line and BD line
is a straight line, if the first case on the right, then the X axis corresponding
to the galvanometer coefficient smaller; if the second case, the X-axis
corresponding The coefficient of the galvanometer is changed.
And then look at the two lines that AB line and CD line is a straight line, if
the first case on the right, then the Y axis corresponding to the galvanometer
coefficient smaller; if the second case, the Y-axis corresponding
The coefficient of the galvanometer is changed.
Correction method:
If the length of the AD line is greater than the length of the
BC line, the coefficient of the X axis corresponding to the
galvanometeris changed. If the second case occurs, the
coefficient of the X axis corresponding to the galvanometer is changed The.
Correction method:
First, the length of the AB line and the CD line
is measured. If the length of the AB line is greater
than the length of the CD line, the coefficient of the
X axis corresponds to the galvanometer. In both cases,
the coefficient of the X axis corresponding to the galvanometer is changed.
25
And then measure the length of the two vertical lines,
that is, the AC line and the BD line. If the length
of the AC line is smaller than the length of the BD
line in the first case, the coefficient of the
corresponding Y-axis of the Y axis is smaller. In both cases,
the coefficient of the corresponding Y-axis of the Y-axis is changed.
Correction method:
First measure the length of the AB line or CD
line, if the measured value is less than the
set value, then the galvanometer 1
The coefficient is changed, and vice versa.
And then measure the length of the vertical line,
that is, AC line or BD line, if the measured value
is less than the set value, then the galvanometer 2 will change the coefficient, and vice versa.

Mongline Fonts are mainly SHX fonts, excluding
letter, figure and punctuation mark in Chinese
fonts; while excluding Chinese character in
English fonts.
The font with postfix “CSF” in mongline fonts is
special for this system, including Chinese,
English, figure and punctuation mark. The height
of Chinese and English fonts is the same.
TTF fonts are mainly double-line fonts.

Serial Number:
Hexadecimal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A,
B, C, D, E, F and letters will jump the step in
the form of 16 in 1.
Start value: The current first number of
marking.
Current value: Current number of
marking.
Final value: Max. number of marking.
Number of digits: Digit number of the
marking.
Step value: Increment of the “Current
value”. It may be negative, which means the
serial number is decreasing progressively.
When the increment of “Current value” is 1
and “Start value” is 0000, the next value will
be 1 plus the previous value, such as 0001,
0002, 0003……9997, 9998, 9999. When the
increment of “Current value” is 5, the “Start
value” is 0000, the serial number is 0000,
0005, 0010, 0015, 0020, 0025…and so on.
Marking time: The serial number can be
changed until the specified marking times are
reached. And the serial number can be changed
again until the specified marking times are
reached, being a circulation.
Loop: The serial number automatically
returns to the start value for marking operation
after specified marking times are reached. For
example, the “current value” is 9999 and the
“start value” is 0001; when the number is 9999,
the system will automatically return to 0001.
Leading Zeros: When the digit of “current value”
is less than the preset digit of “serial number”,
the system will automatically add corresponding
digit of “0” in the front to reach the same digit of
“serial number”. For example, when the “current
value” is 1, the digit is “5”, tick the Leading
Zeros, the number is “00001”, not tick the
Leading Zeros, the number is “1”.
Random Code:
The figure or capital and lowercase letter
generated randomly by the system shall be the
marking content.
41
The format can be randomly arranged. “*”
represents figure, “@” represents lowercase
letter, and “#” represents capital letter. Letter and
figure represent the fixed letter or figure.
E.g.: “******” represents six random number
“******9” represents six random numbers and a
fixed number “9”.
“**##@@” represents the random code in the
format of “figure figure capital letter capital
letter lowercase letter lowercase letter”.
The format of common random security code:
****** ******
****** ******
