Production guidance

This ALUMINUM ANODIZED - Dog Tags metal record pairs 15% power with 1000 mm/s on Fiber 50W, using 1 pass, 45 kHz, 0.05 mm hatch spacing, and 200 ns pulse width. Compare every listed field with the source, lens, focus method, and material finish on your machine before transferring the recipe.

1. 1. Whitish mark on black anodized aluminum dog tags.
2. 2. Treat this as an unverified baseline, not a production preset. A VERIFIED Parameters Library record requires three independent community vouches; an attached proof-burn image provides additional evidence.
3. 3. Bare metal is unforgiving of focus error: re-zero on the actual work surface rather than the bed, and wipe oils off before marking or the mark will read blotchy.
4. 4. MOPA pulse width is the parameter doing the work here — if the result drifts, adjust pulse width before touching power or speed.
5. 5. Change one variable at a time — power, then speed, then frequency — so you can attribute the improvement when you find it.
6. 6. Record the successful result in the Parameters Library so the next production run is repeatable.

The bundled note for this ALUMINUM ANODIZED - Dog Tags recipe is: “Whitish mark on black anodized aluminum dog tags.” The source data was reviewed 2026-08-09; no independent vouch or proof-burn image is attached. Label the scrap test with the adjusted values and keep the accepted result with the production job.
