1.5.1 Main Components

Front
A. Handle—Use this to raise and lower the cover. The laser is automatically disabled when the cover is opened.
B. Cover—The cover provides access to the main bay for placing and retrieving materials, as well as fixing the
laser path alignment and other maintenance.
C. Viewing Window—The polycarbonate window is shielded to protect you and others from the laser and its
reflection, allowing monitoring of the engraving process. However, you should never stare continuously at the
laser during operation, even through the window.
D. X-Axis Rail—The X-axis rail supports the movement of the laser head left and right across the workbed. It also
holds the 2nd mirror and the LED light that illuminates the workbed.
E. Laser Head—The laser head holds the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, the air assist outlet, and the nozzle. The laser
head is also motorized and controlled as the engraver's "Z" axis.
F. Rotary Axis Switch & Port—Four-pin rotary axes can be connected here to engrave curved surfaces. The
rotary axis replaces the Y axis during use.
G. Control Panel—This panel offers parameter adjustment and immediate control of the engraving process,
including manual movement of the laser head and firing of the laser. It is also the location of the engraver's
emergency stop, motorized workbed controls, and ammeter.
H. Y-Axis Rails—These rails support the movement of the X-axis rail up and down the workbed.
I. Workbed—The workbed can be adjusted in height to fit thinner and thicker materials, as well as adjusted
between the aluminum knife blade and honeycomb workbed.
J. Status Light—This LED light strip clearly displays the engraver's current status: blue in standby, green during
active lasing, and red for errors
K. Front Pass-Through Door—This door opens to allow larger pieces of material to be fed through the workbed.
When open, care must be taken to avoid exposure to the laser beam or its reflection.
L. Caster Wheels & Foot Pads—These wheels help move the engraver into place, after which the pads hold the
engraver steady while protecting your flooring.
