I work manufacturing PVC pipes and I would like to know what parameters I can use for engraving on a continuous extrusion line, as I have already tried some methods and have not been successful.
If you are considering to engrave on or in PVC pipe, be aware that doing so will release toxic and corrosive chlorine gas.

It’s not clear what that means, so a picture or sketch of what you want to accomplish will help us see what you see.
If you want the laser to engrave a marking that extends along the unlimited length of pipe, perhaps as it moves through the machine, LightBurn can’t do that. The workspace width is limited to some fixed distance, which I vaguely recall is about 20 m.
Some galvo lasers have provision for a conveyor feed, but searching the forum for “galvo conveyor” suggests making that work is nontrivial.
