Use and Operation
Function:
The device is intended for engraving work pieces. With various additional modules, it is
possible to create diamond or milling engravings not only on flat or slightly curved objects
but also on or in rings.
For engravings on the inside of rings, however, milling engraving is not possible.
Using type models (type height 20 or 12) in the model rail with an adjustable limit stop each
on the right and left side is preferred. It is, however, possible to use symbol and picture
models.
With the help of the tip of the tracer, the contour is traced in the model rail. Then a
translation mechanism translates this movement to the X-Y table.
By setting the translation ratio, the height of the type to be created is set.
For flat engraving, a clamping device or a groove plate is necessary which serves to
receive and fix the part to be engraved. The movement of the table is directly translated
onto the work piece, independently of the height of the surface to be engraved. If the lever
of the mouse module is activated and the engraving tool reaches the surface of the work
piece, engraving occurs. If the tracer needs to be moved while a model is being traced, it
is absolutely necessary that the lever of the mouse remains inactive while the movement
occurs, otherwise engraving mistakes will take place.
For ring engraving, a particular module needs to be installed which translates linear
movement into a rotating movement and which contains a clamping device for rings.
For the available type heights or engraving and expanding areas, please consult the
technical specifications for the individual module.
Before creating an engraved design, it is advisable to inspect the available space on the
surface which will be engraved. To do this, trace the shape of the extreme values of the
engraving template with the tracer without activating the mouse and observe the results
underneath the engraving tool.
