2.4.3 Marker
The Marker Holder is mounted on the left side of the Toolhead. The Marker Holder sits loose
in its mount on the Toolhead so it is able to ride over material easily and without damaging the
Marker. Depending on the type of Marker being used it may be necessary to modify the Marker
body or use a piece of tape to keep the Marker secure in the holder.
2.4.4 Engraver
The Engraver is mounted in the center of the Toolhead. When the Engraver is engaged, an
air cylinder is pressurized and the tool is pushed down to meet the material. The pressurized
cylinder, along with the bleeder valve, allows the engraver to ride over contours in the material
without damaging the tool.
2.4.5 Engraver Air Regulators
The Engraver is driven by pressurized air. It uses two separate regulators located just behind
the Toolhead. The left side regulator controls the Engraver and is pre-set at the Bend-Tech
manufacturing facility to 70 PSI. The right side regulator controls the Engraver air cylinder and
is pre-set at the Bend-Tech manufacturing facility to 5-10 PSI.
Cleanliness of the material will aect Marker life. If a project requires heavy use of the
Marker it may benet the Operator to clean material before loading into the machine.
Always keep the marker capped when not in use.
