Engraving Is Not Performed on the Expected Position
You can use the preview function to check the engraving position in advance.
" P. 118 "Previewing before Engraving"
Check Action
Have the origins been set at correct
positions?
Check that the origins have been set correctly. If the origin locations are
not correct, engraving at an unintended location may occur.
" P. 39 “Step 2: Setting the XY Origin”
Cutting-in Depth Is Not Uniform (When Nose Unit Is Used)
Check Action
Is the cutter installed according to the
correct procedure for when the nose
unit is used?
Install the cutter according to the correct procedure.
" P. 41 “Step 3: Installing a Character Cutter/Parallel Cutter”
Is the cutter holder, the cutter holder
mounting screw, or the collet loose?
Tighten the parts around the cutter again.
" P. 41 “Step 3: Installing a Character Cutter/Parallel Cutter”
Is the X- and Y-axis feeding speed too
fast for the workpiece, or is the spindle
rotating speed too slow for it?
Adjust the XY axes feeding speed and the spindle rotating speed.
" P. 56 “Adjusting the Tool Feeding Speed and the Number of Rotations during
Engraving (Override)”
Is the cutter worn? Replace the cutter.
Is there cutting waste around the
engraving area?
(When the cutting-in depth is extremely
shallow, the effects of cutting waste can
become large.)
Try using a cutter with a narrow tip width, along with increasing the
cutting-in depth. Alternatively, use the vacuum adapter for chip cleaning.
• Adjusting the cutting-in depth
" P. 35 “Step 5: Setting the Engraving Parameters”
• Attaching the Vacuum Adapter
" P. 58 “Attaching the Vacuum Adapter”
Cutting-in Depth Is Not Uniform (When Nose Unit Is Not Used)
Using the nose unit enables you to perform engraving while keeping the cutting-in depth uniform. Basically, we
recommend that you use the nose unit.
" P. 83 "Nose Unit Overview and Precautions"
If you do not want to use the nose unit or cannot use it, try taking following actions.
Check Action
Is the surface of the workpiece level? Revise the mounting method, etc. and mount the workpiece so that its
surface is level. Also, if the atness or levelness of the workpiece table is
an issue, perform surface leveling of the workpiece table.
Is the tool installed according to the
correct procedure for when the nose
unit is not used?
Install the cutter according to the correct procedure.
" P. 104 “Using a Character Cutter/Parallel Cutter (without Nose Unit)”
Is the cutter holder, the cutter holder
mounting screw, or the collet loose?
Tighten the parts around the cutter again.
