An example of an image that would benefit from the Cluster function would be: 2 squares to be engraved,
side-by-side on the X-axis with a 20 cm gap in between them. In this scenario, you would want to enable
the Cluster setting and set the distance to a value less than 20. By doing so, the laser will completely
process one square and "leap-frog" to the second square, rather than processing both squares
simultaneously. The result: you shorten the processing time by minimizing the unnecessary travel distance
the lens carriage needs to make across the X-axis in between squares, if they were to be processed
simultaneously.
NOTE
If you wish to use the Border and Cluster function simultaneously, then the Border Thickness
value must be less than the Distance value specified in the Cluster setting.
Enhanced Vector Mode (Advance Page)
This setting allows you to improve the cutting quality at the expense of speed. Your engraving speed will
be dropped by 50%, to maximize the cutting power. We recommend that you enable this function when
cutting thicker materials.
Cutting Time Delay (Advance Page)
The cutting time delay function will extend the first laser firing pulse time before moving to next cutting path
which is specially designed for thick material cutting application. The delay time will allow the laser beam to
penetrate through the material thoroughly before moving to next path thus delivers better cutting edge
quality. Adjust the delay time to gain optimum cutting edge quality through experiment, too long delay time
may cause the material over-melt, while too less delay time may cause the laser moves to next cutting path
before it fully cuts through the material and leaves dragging on the edge.
Drilling (Advanced Page)
The drilling function is available only for use with AutoCad. Users can insert dots from AutoCad's tool
bar and use the drilling function to set the drilling time required to create holes.
Use the default "dot" tool (
locations.
Use the adjusting bar on under the "Drilling" function to set the drilling time (spot delay) required. The
size of the drilled hole can be adjusted by deploying a longer or shorter drilling time.
