To establish absolute predictability across different materials without ruining expensive workpieces,
users must deploy a standardized diagnostics array. Copy the vector structural design format
illustrated below into your software layout program to build a calibration tile:
[12W CALIBRATION TEST ARRAY CODES – 10mm x 10mm DATA BLOCKS]
========================================================================
(Row A – 100% Power) | [A1] 500mm/m | [A2] 1000mm/m | [A3] 2000mm/m | [A4] 3000mm/m
(Row B – 80% Power) | [B1] 500mm/m | [B2] 1000mm/m | [B3] 2000mm/m | [B4] 3000mm/m
(Row C – 60% Power) | [C1] 500mm/m | [B2] 1000mm/m | [C3] 2000mm/m | [C4] 3000mm/m
(Row D – 40% Power) | [D1] 500mm/m | [D2] 1000mm/m | [D3] 2000mm/m | [D4] 3000mm/m

Interpreting Vector Test Results:
•
•
•
Charred/Blistered Edges: The travel rate is too slow (Velocity < Threshold). Increase the linear
feed rate or decrease the power percentage value.
Incomplete Material Separation: Laser energy failed to pierce the substrate entirely. Decrease
the linear travel rate or apply an additional tool layer pass value (Pass Count > 1).
Faded/Weak Surface Etching: The substrate requires a higher energy density. Increase overall
power levels or slow down the speed parameters
