Proximity Sensor
Advantage of this Feature
The advantage of this device is that it eliminates the need to perform a surface setting procedure. It is
used when utilizing a nose cone or diamond drag cutter. It cannot be used without a nose cone, such as
when burnishing or setting multiple pass depths in the software.
Procedure
1. Make sure that the proximity switch is turned on within the Vision software. Ensure that some travel
is allowed to "float" the spindle on the pressure spring. The pressure spring adjuster must be backed
off.
2. Zero the cutter in the spindle and dial in the desired depth on the nose cone micrometer.
3. Send the job to the controller via the computer.
4. Press the "Start" button on the touch screen.
Usage
"Nose-riding" - WITH proximity sensor
Engraving with the proximity sensor can only be performed with a nose cone attached, or when diamond
drag engraving.
"Non-nose-riding" - WITHOUT proximity sensor
When setting a depth in the Vision software, the proximity sensor should be turned off in the Cut Toolbox
(in the Vision software program before sending the job to the machine). Also, make sure that there is no
"float" on the spindle by locking the pressure spring adjuster all the way down. Locking the spindle is
especially important when engraving into hard surfaces or materials like brass and stainless steel.
