Getting Started Conditions for Material When Imprinting Curved Surfaces The table and figure below show the recommended imprint area with respect to the diameter of the cylinder formed from an extended curved surface. Note, however, that the following conditions are assumed. Material with an extended curved surface has circularity.
Getting Started Center Vise Specifications The maximum width of loadable material is 50 mm (1.96 in.). Change the loading orientation and secure the material in a way that matches its size. You can vary the orientation and front and back sides of the vise when using it. "...
Vise Kit Explanation Material Retainer Types Center vise Vise Clamp plates Retaining screw Grid table Adhesive sheet Grid table Selecting Material Retainers according to Material Shapes Retainers have various characteristics. Select the retainer that matches the material shape. The grid table is suited to securing material that has a flat bottom surface. The center vise is suited to securing material that has a curved bottom surface.

Vise Kit Explanation • You can vary the orientation and front and back sides of the vise when using it. Use the vise in a way that matches the size and shape of the material. The vise can be replaced with clamp plates. You can also vary the orientation and front and back sides of the clamp plates when using them.
Vise Kit Explanation Light-absorbing Film To use the light-absorbing film, attach it to the film frame. Orient the film frame so that the adhesive sheet surface faces up. Peel the protective film off the adhesive sheet. Protective film Affix the light-absorbing film to the film frame. Important: The light-absorbing film has a material side and a lens side.
Vise Kit Explanation Mounting on the LD-300 Insert the protrusions on the bottom surface into the holes on the base table to attach the center vise or grid table. To attach the film frame, insert its supports into the holes on the base. Important When not using the base, store it after removing it from the machine.
Vise Kit Explanation Selecting the Head Detection Jig Use different head detection jigs depending on the height from the base table to the imprinting surface. Important: Use the head detection jig with the correct height. If you use the incorrect jig, the head will strike the material, leading to defective imprinting and part damage. Height to the imprinting surface Head detection jig to use 24 to 36 mm...
Daily Care Cleaning the Center Vise/Grid Table Using a cloth moistened with water and wrung well, wipe the parts gently to clean them. Cleaning the Adhesive Sheet Buildup of dust or the like on the grid table's adhesive sheet can reduce the sheet's adhesive force, making it difficult to secure material.
Daily Care Cleaning the Film Frame Buildup of dust or the like on the film frame's adhesive sheet can reduce the sheet's adhesive force, making it impossible to secure the light-absorbing film. If the adhesive force has been reduced, wash the film frame's adhesive sheet.
