Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
Spot Size Spot size refers to the diameter of the laser beam focused on the surface of a material during laser engraving or cutting operations. In laser technology, spot size directly influences the resolution, precision, and quality of the engraving or cutting process. Smaller spot sizes produce finer details and higher resolution engravings, while larger spot sizes result in broader lines and reduced detail.
Spot size is determined by the optical properties of the laser system, including the focal length of the lens and the divergence of the laser beam. By adjusting the focal length and optical configuration, operators can control the spot size to achieve optimal engraving results on different materials and surface textures. |
