Important Notes on Engraving
Risk of damage to the device
Always switch the control unit on before the
plotter.
There must be
no
magazine
on the plotter.
Secure the engraving material to be
processed.
Make sure that the carrier plate has sufficient
adhesive strength and clean regularly under
running water.
Only use non-slip pads from Phoenix Contact
to hold the materials to be processed.
There must be around 2 mm of space between
the bottom end of the engraving spindle and
the engraving material.
If the gap is greater or smaller than 2 mm, use
the calibration block to check the right-angle
alignment of the engraving unit.
The engraving unit is designed for use on the
CMS-P1-PLOTTER for the purpose of
engraving plastic labels. The use of other
materials, such as aluminum, brass, steel, and
glass is not permitted.
The use of lubricants and coolants is not
permitted, as the vacuum cleaner used cannot
handle liquid materials.
Only use Phoenix Contact gravers.
Only use the engraving unit in dust-free rooms.
An excessively high level of dust can result in
the sensitive bearing of the engraving spindle
becoming clogged with dust and quickly
wearing out.
