Overlap Pattern
Overlap Guidelines
- Welding: 30-60% for full penetration
- Cutting: 80-95% for smooth edges
- Marking: 50-80% for uniform appearance
- Engraving: 20-50% for texture control
- Surface Treatment: 40-70% for coverage
Quality Factors
- Under-lap: Gaps, poor coverage
- Optimal: Smooth, uniform results
- Over-lap: Heat buildup, distortion
- Speed: Affects overlap and quality
- Power: Influences effective diameter
Applications
- Aerospace: Precision welding
- Automotive: High-speed processing
- Medical: Fine feature marking
- Electronics: Micro-processing
- Manufacturing: Production optimization
Formulas
Linear Overlap:
Overlap% = (1 - S/(f × d)) × 100
Area Overlap:
Coverage = π × (d/2)² × (1 - spacing/d)
S = Speed, f = Frequency, d = Diameter
⚠️ Processing Safety
Overlap Safety Warning: Excessive overlap can cause heat accumulation, material damage, and thermal distortion. Insufficient overlap may result in incomplete processing and poor quality. Always verify overlap settings with test samples before production runs, especially with heat-sensitive materials.
