Customizing tool settings
The enVision is pre-set with specific tool settings for each type of Gerber
material that might be cut. You may occasionally wish to cut a material with
different settings. The Settings menu allows you to modify only the Force and
Corner adjustment for the selected material. (See “Fine tuning the envision” on
page 29.) If the range of adjustment required is outside the limits obtainable
from the Settings menu, the Current Settings menu enables you to change the
settings for the currently selected material to a new value. You can change the
acceleration, force, corners, and speed.
Note: Changes made to the tool settings are for the currently selected material
only and are “remembered” by the plotter and remain in effect until they are
changed, even if the plotter is turned off and on again.
Note: Most tool settings may be modified during a job. However, they may not
take effect immediately.
Viewing the current tool settings
1. Press F3 while holding down the ENTER key for the Operational Setup
menu.
2. Press F1, SETTINGS to get the Current Settings menu.
3. Press F1, F2, F3, or F4 to see the current settings for Speed, Acceleration,
Force, or Corners. Pressing ENTER to exit the menus accepts the current
values and stores them in plotter memory. If you don't wish to make
changes, press CANCEL to exit the menus.
Setting tool force
The tool force is the downward pressure that the tool holder applies to the
material with the tool. This pressure ensures uniform cuts and pen lines.
Increased tool force presses harder on the material. The range is 0 to 16 ounces
(0 to 448 gm) in increments of 0.5 oz. (14 gm).
Several factors affect tool force and require setting changes. Below are some
initial suggestions:
„
Blades must be properly installed and adjusted to the correct depth in
the tool holder assembly. (See “Adjusting the blade exposure” on
page 12.)
„
If the pressure is set too high, the knife will not pivot at corners and
will begin to cut through the material.
„
If your pen does not make a clear dark line, you may wish to increase
the tool force setting.
