Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Brass Belt Buckle

Lay the brass belt buckle flat on the laser bed. Since the buckle is relatively smooth and stable, no jig is required, but make sure it sits level to avoid skewed markings.


If you want extra stability, place a small piece of non-slip mat under the buckle. A stable position helps keep the marking result clean and consistent.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Marking File

Open your preferred laser software, such as LaserMaker or LightBurn, and import your design file. SVG, DXF, or image files can be used depending on your design.


Adjust the size, rotation, and position of the design to match the exact area you want to mark on the brass belt buckle. Always double-check the design dimensions and use the preview or frame function to avoid accidental misplacement.

STEP03

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Focus is the key to a successful laser marking result. If the focus is ignored, the final result may not be satisfying.


With Aurora Lite, you can use the red-dot pointer to assist focusing. Adjust the laser head until the two red dots overlap. You can also use manual focus with a focus stick by adjusting the laser head until the focus stick just touches the material surface in a vertical position.

STEP04

Frame the Design & Start Laser Marking

Click Frame to show the outline of the marking area with red light. The red light should appear on the target area of the brass belt buckle.


If the frame is not aligned, move the brass belt buckle or adjust the design until both positions match. Once everything is ready, click Start to begin laser marking with Aurora Lite.

Post Processing


When the marking is finished and the buckle has cooled, clean the surface with water and a toothbrush to remove metal residue. You can also use a soft dry cloth or microfiber towel, but avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the brass finish.
