Chapter 12 Q & A
Q1. On the finishing work, why there are some marks on it.
A:
Q2. Clamps is loosening while operation?
A:
Q3. The direction control button is keep flashing.
A:
Q4. Spindle does not function.
A: To speed up by pressing on SPINDLE SPEED section.
There are 5 possibilities:
1.Probably because the value of stepover on tool setting is a bit greater
than the ideal stepover value.
2.Probably because the FEED RATE on CNC software is too fast and the
cutting tool doesnt cut-off completely which causes this problem.
3.Probably because the lubrication on each axis is not enough, and
cause unsmooth movement. Please put a pinch of liquid state of
lubrication oil on the rail in order to keep the movement smoothly.
4.Probably because the cutting tool does not firmly secured on the tool
holder.
5.Probably because the belt for transmission is wore out. Please change
the belt.
The clamp set is not firmly secured before operation, so clamp set and
the engraving material will be loosened easily.
When the clamp set is loosening or engraving material is displacement,
stop operating immediately and re-operate after clamp set is firmly
secured the engraving material on the working table.
When one of the direction control button (see image below) is keep
flashing, which means it has been reach its limited. Move backward a
little bit.
12-2
Q5. During operation, the engraving material has been penetrated?
A: There are three possibilities:
1. Probably because the Max. Carving Depth plus Depth Offset that you
set on in EDIT software is greater than the thickness
of engraving material, and makes penetration on engraving material.
2. Probably because the engraving material doesnt fix on the working
table flatly which causes penetration on engraving material.
3. Probably because the belt for transmission is wore out. Please change
the belt.
Q6. During operation, the engraving image is distort or displacement.
A: Probably because FEED RATE is too fast and causes this distort or
displacement phenomenon.
Q7. On the finishing work, found out some of the surface does not being
engraved.
A: 1. Probably because the engraving material doesnt have an even surface
and the starting point was set in the thickest area which causes this
problem.
2. Probably because the cutting tool was broken or damaged during
engraving.
Q8. During plastic engraving, plastic is hot melting by the friction between
engraving material (plastic) and cutting tool.
A: Please stop engraving immediately and dissemble the cutting tool
according to cutting tool dissemble instruction in the manual. Clean the
cutting tool with care and then assemble the cutting tool on spindle and
continue to engrave. Probably because the value for SPINDLE SPEED
and FEED RATE is too big or too small.
The ideal value for SPINDLE SPEED and FEED RATE will vary according
to the engraving material.
Q9. During engraving, wooden debris circles around the tip of the cutting tool.
A: When it comes to wood engraving, sometimes it can be annoying by the
wood grain or wooden cell fiber. When the wood is being cut, the wood
grain or wooden cell fiber can be difficult to cut and creates a strip of
wooden debris because of that. When this is happening, stop engraving
immediately and clean the wo oden debris by scissor or the debris will
affect the engraving.This phenomenon
will not happen in every wood engraved. It
depends on the material you use.
12-3
Q10. The tool is crushed or stock in engraving material by force and the
software disconnect suddenly. When you reopen the software, it keeps
showing error message.
A:
Please take out the FUSE and examine if its burn out or not. If it is
burn out, please assemble with 3A FUSE, and turn on the engraver first
and then open CNC software.
Please use an original fuse to protect this product. Use with a non-
