Pass Count

Controlled by Overlap Ratio. Adjust upstream parameters to change this.

Overlap Ratio

Better overlap in each pass means fewer total passes needed.

Proactive strategies and reactive solutions for soda-lime glass

🌡️thermal management

Heat accumulation

Impact: Excessive heat can damage substrate or alter material properties

Solutions:

  • Reduce repetition rate
  • Increase scan speed
  • Add cooling time between passes

Prevention: Monitor surface temperature and adjust parameters accordingly

🔍surface characteristics

Variable surface roughness

Impact: Inconsistent cleaning results across different surface textures

Solutions:

  • Adjust energy density based on surface condition
  • Use multiple passes with progressive settings
  • Pre-characterize surface before cleaning

Prevention: Standardize surface preparation procedures
