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.
Diamond Drag Engraving
To install a diamond drag adapter, remove the retainer ring and nose cone from the bottom of the spindle
and replace with the diamond drag adapter. For diamond drag engraving, the engraving motor is turned off
and the cutter "drags" across the material. Down pressure against the material can be reduced or
increased as necessary by following the steps in
manual.
