We have summarized 9 easy-to follow operating steps for you on how to use a laser engraver in a right way.
Step 1. Turn on the main power switch and the control power switch of the machine. After the system self-check is completed, each axis returns to the reference point.
Step 2. Turn on the power of the control cabinet, turn on the circulating water pump, and confirm that there is water flowing out of the water outlet. Start the chiller and check the water temperature and pressure (normal water pressure is 5bar). Three minutes after the chiller is powered on, the compressor starts, the fan rotates, and cooling begins.
Step 3. Start the air compressor and the dryer. After the chiller drops to the set temperature (set to 21 degrees), turn on the main power of the laser.
Step 4. Insert the laser power key into the key hole, turn the key clockwise to turn on the power, and wait for the system to be ready (about 30 seconds).
Step 5. When the word "READY" appears on the control panel, apply high voltage.
Step 6. Confirm the material type, material thickness and material size before etching. Lay out the material to be engraved on the workbench.
Step 7. Adjust the height of the laser head with a standard ruler, and adjust the plate so that the edge is parallel to the X and Y axes of the machine to prevent the engraving head from working outside the plate range.
Step 8. Move the Z axis to the starting point of etching, simulate the program to be executed, ensure that there will be no soft limit alarm, enter the editing mode, and adjust the power, speed, punching time type and thickness according to the material.
By adjusting the laser power, the energy of the laser output can be controlled. For laser etching, the higher the power, the darker the engraved color. For laser cutting, the higher the power, the greater the cut depth, and the more serious the scorching of the cutting edge.
Only when the laser power of sufficient intensity is used can the effect of clear engraving, marking or cutting through can be achieved. However, the power should not be too high, and adjusting the appropriate power level is very important for the effect of etching, marking, printing, and cutting.
Step 9. After the above items are normal, you can switch to the execution state, and start to engrave your project.
