1.5 Components
Front View
A. 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. Power to the laser is automatically cut when the cover is opened.
B. 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.
C. Y-Axis Rail—The Y-axis rail supports the movement of the X-axis rail up and down the workbed.
D. X-Axis Rail—The X-axis rail holds the 2nd mirror and supports the movement of the laser head left and right
across the workbed.
E. LED Light—This light illuminates the workbed for a clear view of materials before, during, and after engraving.
F. Laser Head—The laser head holds the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, the autofocus sensor, the red dot guidance, and
the air assist outlet.
G. Workbed—The workbed can be adjusted in height to fit thinner and thicker materials, as well as adjusted between
the aluminium and honeycomb platforms. This is also where the accessories are located when the engraver first
arrives.
H. Laser Key—This key controls the power supply to your laser tube and air assist.
I. Emergency Stop—Pushing this button cuts all power to the laser tube immediately in the event of an emergency.
Release it during startup to turn on your engraver's control system, exhaust fan, and water pump socket. Turn it
on before the laser key and turn it off after.
