Chapter 5 - Maintenance

Removing Chips

Vision strives for the highest quality in their manufacturing process to provide you

with the most cost effective, reliable engraving machine in use today. Please

remember that proper maintenance and care is necessary to achieve maximum

product life expectancy.

The engraving environment generates small plastic and metal chips as well as other

particles during operation. As with any machinery, your engraving system should be kept

as clean as possible to minimize wear and tear, and to improve final quality of the

engraved product.

REMOVING CHIPS

Plastic and metal chips, generated during the engraving process, should be removed from

the engraving surface periodically. A portable vacuum is suggested for chip removal, but

applying direct suction to the spindle area is not recommended. Note that this cleaning

can be minimized and greatly simplified through the use of the optional vacuum chip

removal system. The vacuum chip removal system removes chips and dust created by

engraving. This system can also extend the life of other components in the system, as

prompt removal of chips reduces contamination and overheating in the spindle area. The

vacuum chip removal system also keeps the nose cone from skipping over letters due to

chips on the engraving surface.

Cleaning The Nose Cone

The nose cone around the cutter may accumulate dust and chips that cannot be removed

by sucking them off or blowing on them with low-pressure air. CAUTION! High-pressure

air can damage the spindle.) Two types of nose cones are available; one nose cone is

designed to be used with the vacuum system, the other is not. Cleaning methods depend

on the type of nose cone in use.

With a vacuum chip removal system, most of the chips will be removed during the

engraving process. If the suction nozzle becomes clogged, remove the hose connection to

the nose cone. Remove the cutter, then unscrew the vacuum nose cone. Using a vacuum

or an air hose, clean out the nose and the vacuum tube leading to the nose cone.

Reinstall the nose cone and the vacuum hose.
