Step 1: Place the slate coaster

Put the slate coaster on the laser bed. Since it is flat in the center, the coaster will be well suited for laser marking.

For higher contrast, it is recommended that the slate surface be sanded and sprayed with a coat of varnish. The treated slate surface is smoother and shinier and achieves a very refined texture.

Step 2: Import laser marking file and check out

Load your design into LightBurn software, adjusting its size and position to fit you slate coasters. Then make sure the laser marking parameters are set correctly.

Step 3: Don't miss the focus

Missing the focus is one of the biggest reasons for laser marking failure. So don’t forget to click the AF button for auto focus. Of course, manual focus is also effective.

When two red dots are displayed on the slate, it is out of focus. When the two light dots overlap each other, it means in focus.

Step 4: Ready to start laser marking

Press the frame button and check if the visual red light indicate the right area to be marked. The frame should be located in the middle of the coaster. If not, move the pattern positions until they align.

After checking, close the laser door and begin Aurora Lite’s operation.

Step 5: Monitor the slate coaster marking process

Stay near the machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This vigilance ensures safety during marking, as laser energy is potent. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam, even with protective measures in place.

Step 6: Complete the Laser Marking

Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and get your newly personalized slate coaster. Laser marking does not produce toxic substances, and you can use the slate coaster after a simple cleaning!
