Determination of the optimal mode of laser surface marking of aluminium composite panels with CO2 laser

Abstract

This research examines an approach for finding the optimal modes of laser treatment with CO2 laser on advertisement boards made of aluminium composite panels. To achieve the optimal area of the processing mode, an experimental methodology has been developed and an experiment has been planned for finding the limits at the given parameters of the speed and power to obtain an optimisation model. The optimal results are obtained at speeds from 100 to 200 mm/s along the x and y operative axes, as well as the power limits from 5 to 7.5 W to obtain a clear and well-defined image. The defined theoretical mode, obtained because of multicriteria optimisation, is implemented in practice. It is defined as having the relatively best quality image obtained in the shortest time.
