Overtook adjustment:
The Trotec manager shows a special feature that is used to fine tune the engraving
quality of the machine. For a variety of speeds you can set individual parameters (so
called edits) to compensate the dynamic behavior of the tube. Using these factors we
can compensate a tube behavior that is different from the average.
Typical symptoms of an incorrect Edit factor adjustment are:
- Double letters for small fonts
- Inconstant line thickness for horizontal and vertical lines
- Frayed edges
If you see one of these effects you have to alter the Edit settings in your Trotec
manager.
Understanding the Overtook table:
The table gives you the following information:
1
st
column: gives you the speed from which on the selected line is valid.
2
nd
column: gives the overtook (distance of travel from the line end to the position
where the engraving head turns it´s direction)
3
rd
column: Edit factor for engraving in X direction.
4
th
column: Edit factor for engraving in Y direction.
Tab „Overtook“ in the Service menu
When you for example engrave in X direction at 80% power and 25% speed (which
means 50cm/s) the second line of the table is taken fo figure out the edit factor.
Steps for adjusting the Edit settings:
1. Create a job at 125dpi that looks like the following:
