Nose-unit usage
Suitable workpiece types
Automatic Z-axis control
Spindle rotation
Lock-lever position
This performs engraving using the nose unit. When the tip of the nose unit touches the surface of the workpiece, the
location is automatically detected as the Z origin point. This makes it possible to perform engraving at a uniform depth
on a workpiece of uneven surface height. This also eliminates the need to set the Z-axis origin point each time when
you're engraving a number of different workpieces.
1.
Install the cutter holder, solid collet, and nose unit.
