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. Hang the focal stick at the correct position under the lens, and then carefully adjust the Z-axis height. When the end of the focal stick just touches the surface of the zippo, it is in focus!
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 Zippo. If not, move the pattern positions until they align.
After checking, close the laser door and begin Aurora Lite’s operation.
Monitor the Zippo Marking Process
Stay near the laser machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This door ensures safety during laser marking, as the energy is potent. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam, even with protective measures in place.
Complete the Laser Marking
Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and get your personalized Zippo. Laser marking does not produce toxic substances, and you can use the Zippo after a simple cleaning!
Laser marking Zippo is a stylish and practical way to keep your essentials organized. With laser marking, you can add a personal touch—whether it’s your name, a logo, or a custom design—making it truly one of a kind. Perfect for work, travel, or as a thoughtful gift, the laser Zippo is a simple yet classy everyday accessory!
