Overburn Overburn, in the context of laser engraving and cutting, refers to the phenomenon where the laser energy applied to the material surface exceeds the intended depth or extent of engraving or cutting. Overburn can occur due to factors such as excessive laser power, prolonged exposure time, or improper focus settings. It may result in unintended damage to the material, such as charring, melting, or warping, and can compromise the quality and accuracy of the engraving or cutting process. Proper calibration, optimization of laser parameters, and careful monitoring of engraving or cutting operations can help prevent overburn and ensure consistent and precise results in laser processing applications. |
