Click on the Setup button to set your speeds and power in the Image Settings tab. This screen will
be displayed:
KCAM, Engraving a TIF file
Set Laser power for black between 10-25% and your Engraving Speed to 40”/sec. Click OK.
Click the Cut button to load the Cut and Engrave Menu. Make sure you have air coming out of the
laser nozzle by clicking the Air On/Off button and adjusting the regulator to approx 40 PSI of air.
Check the Engrave image files box and then press Continue to start the engraving of the file.
The laser will first home itself and then move to the file on your tabletop.
The motion will stop at the position of the airplane on the table. This will allow you time to set the
focal point by placing the laser spacer on the top of your material and slowly lowering the focus
optics down to the spacer. Now press the ENTER key or click Continue on your screen.
The system will engrave the programmed path at 40 IPS that you previously set in the Image
Settings tab, while firing the laser at 25% power. At this speed and power, the system will engrave a
piece of wood.
Once the file is done the laser will return to its Home position.
If laser system makes a grinding noise or acts out of the ordinary press the Emergency
Stop switch and contact a Kern technical staff member.
