Scanning Speed Scanning speed refers to the rate at which the laser beam moves across the workpiece surface during engraving or cutting operations. Scanning speed is typically measured in units of distance per unit time, such as inches per second (IPS) or millimeters per second (mm/s). The scanning speed directly affects the throughput, productivity, and quality of laser engraving processes.
Higher scanning speeds result in faster engraving times but may sacrifice detail and resolution, while slower speeds allow for greater precision and finer engraving quality. Optimizing scanning speed parameters according to material properties, engraving depth, and desired outcomes is essential for achieving optimal engraving results while maximizing productivity and efficiency. |
