“Marking at regular intervals”
If “Marking at regular intervals” is set, the marking process is repeated at regular intervals. To
use this function, you must turn the marking trigger on before starting the marking. If you use
TRIGGER IN (X5) of the TERMINAL connector, keep the signal input ON during the on-the-
fly marking.
Use this setting if the workpieces are arranged at equal distances.
The lasing process starts when the first workpiece reaches the preset marking position.
Afterwards, the marking process is executed at regular intervals until the marking trigger
turns off.
