Step 1: Place the coated alloy belt buckle
Put the coated alloy belt buckle on the laser bed. Place a wooden block underneath belt buckle to keep it level to fit laser marking.
Step 2: Import laser marking file and check out
Load your design into LightBurn software, adjusting its size and position to fit you coated alloy belt buckle. The parameters of black marking and white marking are different, so 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 coated alloy belt buckle, 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. Click the circular frame button, and the red light will form a circular outline. It’s ideal for positioning round objects during processing.
The frame should be located in the middle of the coated alloy belt buckle. 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 coated alloy belt buckle marking process
Stay near the machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This vigilance ensures safety during laser marking, as the 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 personalized coated alloy belt buckle. Laser marking does not produce toxic substances, and you can wear it after a simple cleaning!
