Engraving Operation:

1. Fixing the slate: place the slate on the workbench of the laser engraving machine, and fix it with clamps or magnetic bases to avoid movement or shaking during the engraving process.

2. Preview and positioning: preview the engraving effect of the photo on the computer, and accurately position the photo on the slate through the red light positioning function of the laser engraving machine.

3. Start engraving: Start the engraving process through the control system of the Atomstack S10 Pro laser engraving machine. Make sure the operation is smooth, avoid too fast or too slow, so as not to affect the engraving quality.

4. Finished treatment: After the carving is finished, gently wipe the dust and residue on the surface of the slate with a soft cloth to ensure that the carving patterns are clearly visible.

Matters Needing Attention:

1. Safety protection: When operating the laser engraving machine, be sure to wear personal protective equipment such as protective glasses and gloves to protect your own safety.

2. Test sample: Before formal engraving, you can conduct a test engraving to determine the suitability of the parameters and the satisfaction of the engraving effect.

3. Carving time control: The hardness of slate is higher, so the carving time may be longer. Therefore, when performing large-area photo engraving, attention needs to be paid to controlling the engraving time to avoid overheating and damage to the material.

4. Photo selection: Choose a photo effect with high contrast and clear light and dark to get a better engraving effect.

Summarize:

Laser engraving technology provides an efficient and precise way to engrave photos on slate. Clear and fine engraving effects can be achieved through proper material preparation, laser engraving machine settings and operating procedures. Pay attention to safety protection and engraving time control during operation to ensure smooth operation and engraving quality. Hope this article helps you with laser engraving photos on slate!
