Diamond Engraving

To install a diamond drag adapter, remove the retainer ring and nose cone from the bottom of

the spindle and replace with the diamond drag adapter. (See fig.4.4 on the next page) For

diamond drag cutting, the engraving motor is turned off and the cutter “drags” across the

material. This is accomplished with the motor on/off switch in the “off” position. Down pressure

against the material can be reduced or increased as necessary by adjusting the spring pressure

adjuster as described in the next section.

Proximity Sensing Device

All Series 3 Vision Table Models come standard with a proximity-sensing device.

Explanation and procedure for operating a Vision engraving machine equipped with a proximity-

sensing device.

Advantage of this feature

The advantage of this device is that it eliminates the need to perform a surface setting before

zeroing the cutter.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the proximity switch is in the “On” position on the controller front panel.

Ensure that some travel is allowed to “float” the spindle on the pressure spring.

2. Zero the cutter in the spindle and dial in the desired depth on the nose cone micrometer.

3. Send the job down to the controller via the computer.

4. Press the “Start” button on the controller front panel to begin engraving.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

“Nose-riding” - WITH proximity sensor

Engraving with the proximity sensor can only be performed with a nose cone

attached.

“Non-nose-riding” - WITHOUT proximity sensor

When setting a depth in the computer engraving program, the proximity switch

should be in the “Off” position on the controller front panel. Also, make sure that

there is no “float” on the spindle by locking the pressure spring adjuster all the way

down. Locking is especially important when engraving into hard surfacesor

materials like brass and stainless steel.
