    GENERAL 1.1 Operation Manual Use – General Information Caution: Please read and follow the instruction in this Operation Manual carefully, before installation and operation. Damage to persons and/or material can result from not following individual points of the Operation Manual! Operation of the system is only permitted with equipment and spare parts supplied or listed in the spare parts and consumables lists.

  • Page 6: Designated Use

    1.2 Designated Use The Trotec Speedy 100 fiber is used for marking on metals and plastics. Many metals and most plastics will show interaction with the laser beam. However, very clean metallic surfaces which are highly polished and pure could show NO reaction. This is due to too high reflectivity at 1064nm wavelength which is given especially for silver and copper.
