Attention:
For processing to continue, it is essential that the engraver is switched on and the
engraving element which is to be set up is positioned on the engraver, with the
appropriate support plate. First take the engraving spindle out of the engraving head
and then insert the optical measuring tool into the engraving head, available as an
option.
To take measurements, proceed as follows:
First of all, specify the exact position of the upper left corner of the first tag in the
matrix. To do this, click on the Initial position button left in the first tag window.
The engraver's engraving arm now moves to the upper left corner of the engraving
field. You can use the relevant cursor buttons as shown to move to the exact position
of the upper left corner for the first tag.
You can choose the step size for each click of the cursor at the top right of the
window. Go to the exact position of the top corner. The relevant coordinates are
displayed in mm, from the starting position of zero. Now specify the exact position of
the lower right corner for the first tag.
Now specify the upper left corner of the last tag in this matrix. Go to the last tag bottom
right and proceed just as before.
Specifying these three points completes all measurements for this engraving element.
You can now save the values you have calculated by clicking on the Apply button.
The < Take measurements > window is closed and the program takes you back to
the previous page.
If you also click on the Apply button here, you will see the engraving element that has
been set up.
You can now check that all data have been correctly calculated. If any error messages
or notices are displayed, you should check your data again or allow automatic
correction. Now the engraving element is created.
After you have specified the design click on Back to close the window, in the main
window you can design additional tags or you can close by clicking on the Close
button.
You can select the engraving element you have created in the folder
> User defined under > Manufacturer and call it up for engraving.
