Laser Settings For LMM6000 Materials

The document provides recommended laser settings for marking various materials with an LMM6000 laser system. It includes tables listing the suggested power, speed, and lens settings for marking stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, aluminum, copper, and other metals with CO2 lasers operating at 45W and 30W. A second table provides settings for marking the same materials using Nd:YAG or fiber lasers with a 100mm lens, including power, speed, hatch spacing, and pulse frequency. The settings are intended to help users achieve optimal laser marks but may require further refinement.
