Engraver Guide
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 allows the engraver to ride over contours in the material without damaging the tool.
Setting Engraver Air Pressure
The Engraver is driven by pressurized air. It uses two separate regulators located just behind
the Toolhead. The right side regulator controls the Engraver and is pre-set at the Bend-Tech
manufacturing facility to 70-80 PSI. The Left side regulator controls the Engraver air cylinder
and is pre-set at the Bend-Tech manufacturing facility to 7-8 PSI.
