3.2 Instructions for laser (Optional).
Please wear the protective glasses before operating the laser! When all the connections are completed, turn on the power, and the laser is standby for working. The red light on the top of the laser is continuous lighting in this time.
Turn on the weak light and adjust the focal length (except the Fixed-Focus Laser) Please lay the materials to be engraved flat under the laser. The recommended distance from laser outlet to materials is 3~10cm. Out of range may be out of focus. Turn on the weak light. Rotate the focusing ring slowly on the laser outlet to shrink the laser spots. When the laser spot is smallest and clearest, it is the optimum state for laser engraving, then turn off the weak light. If you use the fixed-focus laser XTS15D, please use the focusing measuring column to adjust the distance between the light outlet and the engraved surface to 18mm. Note: Laser XTS05/XTS08/XTS10 have a weak light switch on top of the lasers, you also can use the switch to turn on weak light. Be sure to turn of the switch before you start laser engraving.

(5). Fixture, tool installation and Set the working coordinate origin

The fixture in the product kit is not assembled. There are four sets in total. The appearance and usage of the assembled fixture are shown in the right figures.

Before running the G code program, you need to find the position of the engraving figure relative to the overall engraving plate. There is a three-axis coordinate system in the visual graphics. The origin of the three-axis coordinate system is the tool setting point of the actual processing graphic.

You can move the tool to determine the position of the engraving graphic relative to the overall engraving plate based on the position of this origin. The engraving figure in the figure below is taken as an example.

After the selected tool position is started, the X/Y and Z axes are reset to zero (the

are zeroing X/Y and Z axes

buttons). Before returning to zero, make sure that the tool approaches the distance of one sheet of paper for engraving,

and then return the X/Y and Z axes to zero (please use a flat-bottom sharp knife when engraving, and use a cylindrical

milling cutter when machining planes, slots, and holes) The effect is that the sculpted figure will be carved with the

blade tip as the origin.

The ER11 collet on the spindle motor should be clamped into the fixed head first, and it must be clamped in place. When installing the cutter, please do not extend the collet too much, as shown in the first figure below.

(6) Start carving After finding the engraving position, click the send button below and the device will automatically start engraving.
The status bar at the top right shows running. The visualization window shows that the tool is moving along the tool path. You can choose the pause and stop buttons below when engraving. (After pausing, click again to continue the previous carving. After termination, click Send to start processing from the beginning).
(7). Finished processing After the processing is completed, the visualization window prompts that the engraving is completed and the time
required for carving.

Move to the position you want to engrave, click the “Position” button (the position where the laser head is located at the lower left corner of the engraved pattern), set the number of times to be engraved, and click the “Start Engraving” button to start the engraving. After the engraving is completed, the machine returns to the zero position.
5.3 About Engraving effect
In general, the use of relatively high power, the engraving depth is relatively deep, but due to the focal length, it will be less detailed than the low power. Small power engraving is shallow but very fine. When engraving, you can adjust the power, engraving speed, and moving speed for better results. In addition, when the speed is slow, it can be cut, but if the edge is not fine and the degree of burning is obvious, you can try to adjust the speed and repeat the engraving several times to achieve better results. If it is cutting, please adjust the speed as appropriate to achieve the cutting effect. If it is engraving, please adjust the parameters such as power and speed according to the depth of engraving.
5.4 FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between different power levels?
The higher the power, the greater the luminous energy of the laser head, the higher the temperature of the material hit, the harder the material of the material that can be engraved, and even the full cutting can achieve the cutting effect. If cutting, it is recommended to choose high power; if it is required to engrave shallower, more delicate, it is recommended to choose low power.
Q: Which formats are supported?
Support all formats of images, support GCODE, NC files and so on. If you want to engrave .DXF file, we recommend the LightBurn software.
Q: Whether to support the grayscale engraving function
Supports the grayscale engraving function, which can engrave pictures and photos of different shades of color by controlling the intensity of the laser according to the color depth of the image.
Q: What is the reason why the engraved picture is very light?
Quality: ** line / mm, generally set to 10 lines / mm, the larger the value, the darker the color, the set according to your needs Engraving speed: the moving speed when the laser is turned on, the faster the speed is engraved the shallower. Minimum maximum power: The general minimum power is set to 0 and the maximum power is set to 1000. The greater the maximum power, the deeper the engraved color.
Q: Why does the fan of the laser module not turn?
Please confirm that the laser head is working properly. If the laser head does not work, there may be a bad contact of the power supply line of the laser head; if the laser head works normally, the fan may be broken.
Q: What is the reason for the software connection failed?
Please confirm whether the USB interface is in contact with normal. Please confirm whether the COM port is selected correctly (do not select COM1); please confirm whether the baud rate is selected correctly (select 115200).
Q: How long does it take to engrave a picture?
The length of time required for engraving depends mainly on the speed of the engraving, the speed of the idling, and the size of the picture. Users can view the total time spent on the software or on the progress bar on the touch screen.
