Main Parts
A. Cover—The cover provides access to the main bay for placing and retrieving materials, as well as fi xing the
laser path alignment and other maintenance. Power to the laser is automatically cut when the cover is opened.
B. Viewing Window—The polycarbonate window is shielded to protect you and others from the laser and its
refl ection, allowing monitoring of the engraving process. However, you should never stare continuously at the
laser during operation, even through the window.
C. Left Access Door—This door provides access to the main bay for work on the mirrors and Y-axis rail.
D. Pass-Through Doors—These doors open to allow larger pieces of material to be fed through the workbed.
Additional care must be taken to avoid seeing or suff ering exposure to the laser beam and its refl ection.
E. Exhaust Fan—This fan pulls out gases and airborne debris from the worktable, sending it through your vent to
a window or air purifi er.
F. Feet—These feet can be rotated down to help anchor the machine in place.
G. Caster Wheels—The front wheels include locks to hold the engraver in place.
H. Workbed—The workbed can be adjusted in height to fit thinner and thicker materials, as well as adjusted
between the aluminum and honeycomb platforms. This is also where the accessories pack is located when the
engraver fi rst arrives.
I. Laser Head—The laser head holds the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, and the air assist outlet.
J. X-Axis Rail—The X-axis rail holds the 2nd mirror and LED lighting. It also supports the movement of the
laser head left and right across the workbed.
K. Y-Axis Rail—The Y-axis rail supports the movement of the X-axis rail up and down the workbed.
L. Front Access Door—This door provides access to the area below the workbed for easy cleanup.
M. Warnings—These notices supplement the Safety Information chapter of this manual. Read them carefully
before using the machine.
N. Emergency Stop—This button immediately cuts all power to the laser tube in the event of an emergency.
O. Control Panel—The control panel offers hands-on control of the engraving process, including manual
movement of the laser head and fi ring of the laser.
P. Laser Key—This key controls the power supply to your laser tube. Turn it on after the control system power
and turn it off before.
Q. Control System Power—This button turns on your engraver's control system, exhaust fan, LED light,
motorized Z axis, and cabinet sockets. Turn it on before the laser key and turn it off after.
R. Upper Right Access Door—This door provides access to the underside of the control panel for troubleshooting
and wiring repairs.
S. Connection Ports—These ports connect the engraver's mainboard to your control computer and its engraving
software via USB or Ethernet cable. They also allow you to load and save fi les from any USB drive.
T. Lower Right Access Door—This door provides access to the mainboard, motor drivers, and power supplies. Its
vents and cooling fan keep components from overheating during prolonged use and should not be obstructed.
U. Upper Rear Access Door—This door opens to the laser bay, holding the laser tube, its connections, and the
red dot locator.
V. Laser Tube—This long glass tube is filled with helium, nitrogen, and CO₂ gas and water cooled to safely
produce your engraving laser. Its connection to the laser power supply is extremely high voltage and extremely
dangerous.
W. Main Ports—These ports connect to your main power supply, ground the machine, connect to your air assist to
provide its pressurized air, and provide an additional socket for your water pump if needed. It is recommended,
however, to use a separate plug on a diff erent fuse for your water cooling system.
X. Lower Rear Access Door—This door provides access to the air pump for easier maintenance.
Y. Water Ports—These ports connect to your water pump or chiller to keep your laser tube cool and stable.
