Engraving Individual Labels
With the engraving unit there is the option of not only
engraving the labels on a label sheet, but also individual
labels. Observe the notes for the source definition in the
manual for the CMS-MARK-WIN software.
Setting the Engraving Depth
The depth adjuster on the engraving spindle is used to set
the engraving depth. Depending on the width and the
grinding angle of the graver used, as well as the penetration
depth in the material, various lettering widths can be
obtained when engraving.
Figure 16
Depth adjuster
The engraving depth is adjusted by turning the depth
adjuster.
Turning clockwise increases the engraving depth, turning
counter clockwise decreases the engraving depth.
When you use the depth adjuster, you will feel it click. Each
click lowers or raises the graver by 0.05 mm.
If the depth adjuster is rotated clockwise by an entire
rotation, an engraving depth of 1 mm (20 clicks of 0.05 mm
each) is achieved. The depth can be read via the scale on
the left-hand side of the engraving spindle.
Changing Gravers
•
Switch off the plotter and control unit.
•
Loosen the fixing on the engraving head and remove
the engraving spindle.
The connecting cable does not have to be
disconnected.

Risk of injury
The graver in the engraving spindle is sharp.
Be careful not to injure yourself.
Risk of burns
The graver and engraving spindle can be hot
as a result of operation. Allow the graver to
cool down following engraving before changing
it.
The tips of gravers are sensitive and must be
handled very carefully. Avoid damage to the
tip. In the event of damage, the labeling quality
is considerably affected.
