VE810 Series 3 User Manual42

4 Step by Step Operation

In the following sections, there are 4 example jobs the user can use to learn the different ways to use

the Vision VE810. In the first section, the machine will be set up to perform a diamond drag operation

on coated aluminum and a simple plate will be engraved. In the second example, engravers plastic will

be rotary engraved to make a small sign. The third example is a coated brass burnishing operation

which will cover the importing of text variables for multi-plate engraving. In the last example job, a set of

name badges will be engraved and cut out of engravers plastic.

The sections and example jobs are designed to incrementally teach the user how to use the machine, as

well as use some of the common functions within the Vision software. It is recommended that the first

time user read through and practice the techniques in these example files in the sequence they are

provided in this manual.

4.1 Diamond Drag Engraving

Engraving - Non Rotating

In this section, we will set up to engrave with a non-rotating cutter, such as a diamond drag cutter. The

figure below shows the Vision VE810 spindle with a diamond drag cutter.

The Vision VE810 spindle with diamond drag cutter

First, to install the diamond drag cutter, loosen the set screw on the cutter knob with the supplied cutter

wrench and move the cutter knob to about the mid-point of the cutter tool, then lightly tighten the set

screw. Note that the set screw on the cutter knob is NOT a standard Allen screw. It is a Spline Wrench.

DO NOT attempt to turn the set screw with any tool other than the cutter wrench. Insert the cutter into

the top of spindle and lower it until the cutter knob can be screwed into the spindle. The cutter knob is

REVERSE threaded, so in order to tighten the cutter knob, turn the knob COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

(when viewed from the top of the spindle) until it is hand tight.
