The LP5 utilizes advanced galvanometer laser technology. The emitted light beam is deflected and precisely directed onto the work material using a mirror. The effective engraving area is determined by various factors including the maximum trajectory of the galvanometer, the laser outlet, the focal length of the field mirrors, etc.
1. Explanation of the LP5's Work Area
The explanations below provide a visual understanding of the LP5's range and optimal working parameters
1.1 Built-in Laser Mechanical Range of Motion
Simply put, a laser is an electrical signal that is converted into light after passing through an optical module. The LP5's galvanometer reflects and directs the laser onto the working surface at an angle and with a maximum mechanical range of motion measuring approximately 200 mm in height and 140 mm in width (as depicted by the elliptical shape below).
1.2 Optimal Engraving Area
Due to limitations in structural design, it was not feasible to achieve a mechanical range of motion of 200 mm in height and 140 mm in width (ellipse).
During the development testing phase, our R&D team discovered that a rectangular engraving area measuring 160 mm in height and 120 mm in width produced the most optimal laser engraving results. It is important to note that this configuration may result in slightly blurred edges.
Considering the optical structure and effective laser light output, the maximum optimal engraving area has been determined to be 120 mm x 160 mm (rectangle), as depicted by the rectangular shape below.
1.3 The Effective Engraving Area
The effective area supported by laser engraving is determined by the intersection of the theoretical maximum area of 200 mm x 140 mm (ellipse) and the optimal rectangular area of 160 mm x 120 mm (rectangle).
1.4 Diagram of Software Canvas Prompt Box
The width and height dimensions of the current software canvas prompts are as follows:
Red frame: 160 mm x 160 mm
Blue frame: 160 mm x 120 mm (rounded rectangle)
To ensure the best engraving effect, we recommend engraving within the blue frame. The yellow area represents the effective engraving area. (Try to avoid engraving in the corners of the yellow area, as this may result in engraving failure or lighter color.).
