Questions Is this layer of polymers just being deposed onto the stainless surface, without affecting the underlying chromium/steel molecular structure? 

Answer- Correct, an 80 watt CO2 laser system will not change the molecular structure of the stainless steel. The laser process using a co2 laser systems will only bond the CerMark to the stainless itself, when the correct laser settings are used to completed the bond the mark will become permanent.  

Question- Does the stainless steel have any molecular changes, when this is used?

Answer- No 

Question- I need to make some ID tags, and am wondering if this product when used on stainless steel is considered 'hot work', or if you have done any testing to see if chromium 6 becomes present in the use on stainless? 

Answer- The CerMark products do not have any chromium 6 present, nor when using the CerMark will there be chromium produced.

It is sometimes difficult to determine the correct power and speed settings for creating high quality laser marks using CerMark. There are numerous variables that must be considered when establishing the proper settings:

How do I use Adobe Acrobat reader DC to output to LaserPro products?

Note:
For cutting jobs, the cutting line width should be 0.001mm (set to hairline is not enough).

1. Use Adobe Acrobat reader DC to open pdf files. Then click File/Print.

2. Select GCC LaserPro driver (in this case is Spirit 4.08-01) and then click properties (the red circle below).

3. Set the proper power and speed and other parameters and then click print.

4. Make sure that the Advanced tag has the settings seen in the attached article document.

Should there be a gap at the joint of cutting lines after the mainboard is replaced?

The cause is that the laser tube model is not correctly set.

A default laser tube model will be set in the firmware (mainboard) before GCC ships the mainboard to the customer. The default laser tube model might be different if the board is replaced on a customer’s machine - it might need to be modified.

Modifying the laser tube model:

Will it shorten the lifetime of my laser tube if the power setting is at 100%?

THIS IS A MISCONCEPTION!

Perhaps you will feel that setting the laser tube at its power limit (power set to 100%) might bring negative consequences, especially in regards to the lifetime of laser tube. Indeed, for most industrial products this critical operation might shorten its service life. However, we have to realize one thing first - for a laser tube, outputting at a 100% level is not a kind of critical operation, too high of an unstable current is.

While the power supply of the laser tube is outputting a regular and stable current to the laser tube, no matter which power level you are using, it won’t affect the service time of the tube even if you set the power level at 100% in the driver.
