Horizontal vs vertical lines. Is this normal?

[MatheoKoning]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing well.

I received my first laser last week. I bought this because I want to etch pcb. I bought the Jinsoku LC-40 with the 5.5w compresses laser module because the laser spot would be a lot smaller (0.08*0.05).

I went to do some tests and I have my doubts about the laser module. The horizontal line is 0.3mm instead of 0.08.

but what I noticed later is that (on different material) the horizontal line seems to engrave deeper.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

You are out of focus. Adjust it correctly by doing a ramp test.

Congratulations on your new laser! It's exciting to embark on your PCB etching journey. Regarding the concerns you have with your Jinsoku LC-40 and its laser module, inconsistencies in engraving depth and line width can sometimes occur, especially with new equipment.

However, if you're experiencing significant deviations from the expected specifications, it might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer or supplier for assistance. They can provide insights into whether your observations are within the normal range or if there might be an issue with your specific unit.

Additionally, if you're open to exploring other options, I'd suggest considering Monport lasers. They're known for their precision, reliability, and user-friendly operation.
