The parts were marked using a 20Watt Fiber Laser Marking System. Three types of marks were put on the parts. A bold darkened font (5.95 sec), a narrow darkened font (4.78 sec) and a lightly etched bold font (1.59 sec). The cycle times represent only the laser marking time. Part handling and XY table moves are not included in the cycle time. Since the Application Lab was not currently set up to mark these parts using an XY table, the part movement was done by hand.
