🚒 Real-World Spotlight: Engraving an Aluminum Pendant with a MOPA Fiber Laser
To show what a capable laser engraver can do, let’s walk through a real-world example: engraving a fireman’s pendant on aluminum using a Láser de fibra MOPA—perfect for detailed logos like a fire truck or station badge.
Paso a paso: How It Was Done
Software & Configuración:
- Quemar luz software was used for parameter control and preview.
- A 4-inch masonite alignment jig was created first:
- Using “scribe mode” (low laser power), a circle was etched onto masonite.
- The aluminum pendant was placed within this guide, ensuring accurate placement.
Laser Parameters:
- Fuerza: 95%
- Velocidad: 800 mm/s
- Enfriamiento: Compressed air flowed directly over the piece, and the laser enclosure had rear ventilation to exhaust heat (~36°C / 97°F).
Preview Mode Helped:
Antes del grabado, preview mode ensured the image was centered—critical for small pieces like pendants.
Tiempo de grabado:
It took 66 minutes to finish, showing that high-detail work requires patience.
Finishing Touch:
After the job, steel wool was used to polish the engraved surface, removing residue and enhancing shine.
Pro Tips from the Field:
- Use cooling (air + exhaust) during long, high-power jobs.
- Scribe a simple positioning jig with your laser to guarantee precise placement.
- Preview mode is a must for avoiding alignment issues.
- Post-process polish elevates the final quality.
