In the preview window you can get a calculated time. That calculation depends on the data it receives. If the relevant dates can be retrieved directly from the controller, the result fits reasonably accurately. (plus/minus a few seconds, here with my OMT60W.
Btw. By trace your logo and engraving it as line-fill and changes a bit on your text engraving I can reduce time by 50% (with your speeds)
This window if you click read from controller well dial in your time to complete in your preview window.
I would also explore turning up your speed and power, and looking at offset fill to lower your time.
Also how you group your project.
thanks for the reply’s
i found the previeuw button and know now the difference between line, fill and offset fill.
just need to look for more info in the manual how to trace images

Speed 1000? Kilometers per hour? 
Note that you can also check the line interval: it seems OK in your photo, but if too low, you might engrave several times at the same places. 0.1 mm is generally seen as OK for diode lasers.
Also you might try higher speed with higher power. I suggest doing a material test (if not already done) to check what values seem OK. Or just burning some small images in an array with various settings.
With my laser, I can go up to 6000 mm/min, with around 75 % power max. It can reduce drastically the burning time, if the quality is OK for you.
Hi Philippe
thanks for the info
