Motion System
The motion system consists of the mechanically moving parts of the LASER system. It is made up of rails, motors, bearings,
belts, mirrors, a lens, and other parts. There are two directions of motion, left to right is called the «X» direction and front
to back is called the «Y» direction.
The PUI and the UC boards control the movement of the motors, which moves the mirrors and focus lens across the
engraving area and over the material. At the same time, it is synchronizing the LASER pulses with the position of the focus
lens.
It is this precise positioning and timing of the LASER pulses that produces the highest quality and fastest speed of engraving
To sum up, the six components work together to take the graphic image that is downloaded to the LASER system from your
computer and burn it into the material located on the engraving table inside of the LASER system.
The control panel
(diagram 1)
The control panel on the LASER system provides easy access to all of the controls necessary for cutting and engraving
operations. The control panel consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD), indicator lights, and selection buttons. The following
section will describe, in detail, how to maneuver through the menu system and the meaning of each item in the control
panel
(chart 2) .
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD is a four line display that displays the menus that control the LASER system. It is a backlit type of display that
enhances visibility even under low light environments.
When the LASER system is powered on, the LASER system will perform a series of routines («SET UP»).
A first message will be displayed on the screen :
SET UP
FPGA X.XX
LCD SOFT X.XX
16 Mo BOOT X.X
A new message will be displayed on the L.C.D. screen of the machine :
<< GRAVOGRAPH >>
LASER VERSION X.XX
LCD SOFT X.XX
16 Mo BOOT X.X
Once the "SET UP" is finished, «READY TO RECEIVE» will be displayed.The machine is ready to receive job files :
<READY TO RECEIVE>
001 FILENAME1
PUI 40 VIT 10
DPIX 400 DPIY 400
DO NOT download files until the display reads «READY TO RECEIVE» as this can lead
to an incorrect or corrupted file download. Corrupted file downloads can lead to an
incorrect firing of the LASER which can destroy the material you are engraving.
and
The two up and down arrow buttons to the right side the control panel give complete access to the menu control system.
Use these arrow buttons to move the cursor up or down through the items in the display.
This button serves two purposes. Depending on which menu you are in at the time, the «VALIDATION» button either enters
you into that menu item the cursor is currently on, or it toggles that menu item to display different choices. Some items
in the display lead to other menus and some are settings that can be adjusted.
This button serves two purposes. The «CANCEL» button, depending on which menu you are in at the time, either exits you
back to the previous menu or it nullifies or cancels any changes that you have made to that menu item. Continuously
pressing the «CANCEL» button will eventually bring you back to the «MAIN» menu.
