8-1. Problems with Engraving
When using a diamond scraper, cutting-in is shallow.
◆ Go to the [OTHERS] submenu and make sure [AUTO Z CONTROL] is set to [ON], and also make sure that the lock nut has
been loosened.
◆ Try performing cutting a second time. Some materials that have an extremely hard surface (such as materials that have under-
gone surface treatment) may be suited to double cutting.
◆ The X- and Y-axis feed rate is too fast for the workpiece. Try using a slower feed rate.
◆ The cutter is worn. Try replacing the cutter.
The nose scratches the workpiece.
◆ Make sure the lock nut is loosened completely.
◆ The tip of the nose cone is rough or damaged. Try polishing using fine-grained sandpaper or an abrasive agent.
◆ The nose unit is unsuitable for engraving aluminum or brass.
