3 Creating a Nameplate (Operations in the Engraving Mode)
Setting the Origin Point
When loading material, be sure to set the origin point.
The origin point is the reference point for engraving. You set it individually for each piece of material you load.
Omitting this operation may result in locations other than the material being engraved.
Basic Steps for Moving the Spindle Unit
When you installed the cutter in the spindle unit, you performed operations to move the spindle unit. These steps
can be summed up as follows.
• The operation differs according to whether the View light and Z-axis light on the switch panel are illuminated or
dark.
• Changing between the lighted View light (indicating View status) and dark View light
Press the View button on the switch panel.
• When the View light is illuminated
You cannot move the spindle unit.
• When the View light is dark
You can move the spindle unit using the movement button.
• Changing between the lighted and dark Z-axis light
Press and hold the center of the movement button for a short while (0.6 second or more).
• When the Z-axis light is illuminated
You can move the spindle unit up and down using the movement button.
• When the Z-axis light is dark
You can move the spindle unit vertically or horizontally using the movement button.
Refer to the preceding "Basic Steps for Moving the
Spindle Unit" and move the spindle unit as follows.
1. If the cutter is touching the plate (material), move the
spindle unit upward to separate it slightly from the
material.
2. Move the cutter to position it above the lower left
corner of the plate (material).
If the Z-axis light is dark, press and hold the Origin Set
button for a short while (0.3 second or more).
(Pressing the Origin Set button lights the Origin Set
light. Make sure the light is illuminated, then release the
button. The Origin Set light goes dark.)
The vertical and horizontal locations of the origin point
are set.
This completes the setting for the origin point.
Pressing the Origin Set button while the Z-axis light is lit lowers the spindle unit and puts the machine in the state
for installing a cutter.
When you are engraving a nameplate, there is no need to set a height-location origin point. The sensors
automatically detect the surface location of the plate (material).
