1. Engraving Motor. The engraving motor or “spindle motor”, is the large black motor on

the top of the carriage assembly. The engraving motor drives a belt and pulley system,

which turns the engraving cutter during the engraving process.

2. Z-Axis Stepper Motor. The small motor under the carriage cover that provides the up

and down motion of the spindle during the engraving process.

3. Spindle Assembly. The spindle mounted in its block; includes a pulley, housing,

micrometer, retainer ring, nose cone and associated hardware. The spindle assembly moves

up and down along a linear bearing, which attaches to the face of the carriage assembly.

4. Spindle Block. Houses the spindle assembly. See Chapter 4 for information on how to

remove the spindle assembly from the spindle block.

5. Z-Leadscrew. Connects the Z-axis stepper motor with the Z-axis linear rails to raise and

lower the spindle during the engraving process.

6. Engraving Motor Belt. Drive belt connecting the engraving motor to the spindle pulley.

B. Tables With Moveable Gantrys (“Flatbeds”-Vision 24x24, 24x48)

The difference in design of the flatbed table versus the moving T-slot type is that the flatbed work

area does not move. In this design, the entire gantry travels the length of the X-axis and the

carriage moves in the Y-axis.
