2-1.Sketch map of wiring

Now let's start to testing your engraving machine. As shown, connect all the cables correctly, then install the
Mach3 software.
Note:
1.Please prepare a dedicated computer for Engraver machine. do not use this computer to do any other work, only
for Mach3;
2.When installing Mach3, you must be strictly to follow the steps of "software installation instructions", step by
step;
3.If your computer does not meet the requirements or software does not install correctly, the machine will not
working.

2-2.Three axes manual control test for the machine

From this chapter, please operating step by step , if any problem or failure, please tell us happened in which step ,
otherwise we will be unable to provide useful help for you.
2-2-1. First, do not electrify the control box, and turn the hand wheel of three step motors by hand now, you will
feel that under the condition without electricity, they may beeasily turned by hand; Then, plug in the electricity
supply, and turn on the "POWER" switch, three step
motors will be self locked at thistime.
Turn the hand wheel by hand again, you may fell that it is much tighter
than the moment without electricity, and it cannot be easily turned by
hand now.
This states that the machine can be controlled now, and you can send
out an order to control it now.

2-2-2. Check the USB cable is connected, Power Switch"ON", Start up MACH3 software.
If the "E-STOP" button is flashing, then click it with mouse, It will become static and not flashing;
Now, click "X+" button.
spindle will move to X+ direction, the X-axis coordinate values will be changed. the
displayed value is spindle traveled distance. You also can try to click other direction button to control axis moving.

Important information:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Click "Jog Mode" buttion, this will change movement.
"Cont" = continuous operation,
"STEP" = single-step operation, means each time only move 1 step.
Click "Cycle Jog Step" buttion,
you can select a distance for single-step operation, such as 1mm,0.1mm, or 0.01mm.
2.The following is the reference drawing of the triaxial coordinate definition provided by us. During the process of
trial run, if we found the running direction of the axis is incorrect, we can change the "Dir LowActive" in the
"Motor Outputs" of MACH3 to adjust it.
This coordinate definition is just a usual definition mode of us, which is for reference only; in practice, you can
change the definition in accordance with your habit and the specific situation of design software.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your engraving machine still cannot be controlled regularly, please solve this problem by the
following methods:
If you use WIN8 or WIN10 operating system or USB3.0, then do not try it. Please replace the
computer in order to meet the requirements.
The USB cable into a different USB port on your computer, try again.
If three step motors cannot self-locking after the control box is electrified, please contact with your
dealer in time.

2-3.Test "water-cooled spindle motors"

Please confirm that you have connected the water pump, water pipe, and water tank in accordance with
requirements before test.
2-3-1. Start the water pump.
2-3-2. Tighten the spindle collet nut.
2-3-3. We can to control the spindle motor by the "Spindle Speed" module.
1. Click the "MAX" character box in the "Spindle Speed" module of the MACH3 by mouse. Then, input the value
of 24000, and press the Enter key.(24,000 is the maximum speed of the spindle. "MAX" value can not be
changed.)
2. Click "Arrow +" or "arrow -", you can adjust spindle speed, each time increase or decrease 10%.
Now, adjust speed to 12000, then click "Spindle CW F5" button, the spindle motor will begin to rotate in a
clockwise direction; [Drag the 'green bar' up or down also can to adjust speed. ]
Click "Spindle CW F5" again, spindle motor will be stopped.

Important information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Attention: you must first start the water pump before starting the spindle motor at any time, to ensure that the
cooling water circulation is normal. Otherwise, the rotation speed of 24000 cycles may let the spindle motor
generate extremely high temperature within short time, and let it be burned.
2. Please pay attention to the Spindle Working Speed !
Engraving machine spindle motor may be clearly different than Milling machine spindle. For engraving machine,
the higher spindle speed, the greater cutting force. the lower speed, the smaller cutting force, if spindle speed is
too low may be caused spindle stalled or VFD burned. So, depending on the different materials, set spindle
speed to 12,000 ~ 24,000 is most appropriate.
1) ABS/PVC/POM/Nylon and other plastic materials use about 16,000rpm.
2) 6061 aluminum and H59 brass use about 16000~20000rpm.
3) Acrylic use about 17,000~22,000rpm. Different materials should be more testing.
3. In Mach3, its displayed RPM is only a approximate value, there are about 5% error. The VFD panel displayed
frequency value is relatively accurate, 1Hz60rpm, 300Hz18000rpm. When processing workpiece, there is no
significant difference for increase 500rpm or reduce 500rpm.
however, the "each cutting depth" and "feed rate" should be seriously experiment and summary for you.
4.This machine spindle motor is controlled by Mach3, it's can not be directly controlled by VFD panel. the VFD
panel only used to display frequency for user, and to service for maintenance persons.Warning: never try to
change the setting parameter of VFD. Its application parameters are exclusively set for this spindle motor, which
have been strictly checked and tested. VFD is widely applied, and its parameter default is not exclusively set for
the utilization of engraving machine. Even if you are proficient in the application of VFD, please do not try it.
Wrong settings may damage the spindle motor, and deprive your right to repair this product.

2-4.To learn to import and run Machining documents (G code)

You may add the M03 and M05 code in the program to make the principal axis start automatically at the time of
engraving, and also make it stop automatically after finishing engraving. You can refer to the "Spindle-run.txt" file
for detailed information, and also trial run it for experience.
Turn on the 'Power switch' and 'VFD switch',
Three axes XYZ coordinate all clears.

move XYZ axis to the

center of X/Y/Z axis.

Click 'Load G-code' button, locate and open the "Test G.txt" file;
Click 'START' button, engraving machine start to working Spindle running X/Y/Z axis running with
G-command. when working finished , the spindle stop running automatically, and spindle motor will back to
original(start) position.

Note: The test file "Test G.txt" working range is 150mm*150mm*1mm, if any accident during spindle running
please do not be nervous, just press the 'Emergency Stop' button (on the front of control box) quickly, or click
"Reset" button (in Mach3).

If the test shows that water pump and spindle motor are normal, you may begin go engrave.

Important information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. CNC engraving machine does not support the industrial milling or CNC machining center program instructions,
these are different equipment. Do not use the operating practices of industrial equipment to operate engraving
machine, in order to avoid accidents.
2. Tool-Path software(generate G-code) recommend: Artcam UcancamCut2D/3D Type3 DeskProto
Bmp2CncPhotoVCarveArtcut
3. Standard program instructions constitute examples:
Note the red part of the code, if you generated toolpaths code without these commands, you can add it by self.

2-5.Application of tool setting gauge:

Tool setting gauge is an auxiliary tool for Z axis when it is setting the tool.
Attention: before using the tool setting gauge, you must first measure its accurate thickness through vernier caliper,
because this value will directly influence the accuracy of tool setting; as it is shown in the picture, input the value
of the thickness to the character box of "PROBE-H"
(such as inputting 19.35), and then you must press the
"Enter" key to save this value.
Important: every time before applying the tool setting
gauge, you should first touch the surface of the tool
setting gauge through the clamp on the red cable, to check whether the indicator light on the tool setting interface
is turned to red or not. If it is turned to red, it means that this function can be used normally. If not, you should
check whether the cable of the tool setting gauge is connected well, or whether you forgot to make the setting but
you have reinstalled this software.
Using method:
Just shown in the picture, put the tool setting gauge on the materials to be engraved, and then adjust Z axis to
an appropriate position manually. When the tool setting is triggered, Z axis may arise 10mm automatically; when
it is executing the task of tool setting, the automatic bottom detection distance for Z axis is only 30mm. Therefore,
at the time of making manual adjustment, the distance between the tool tip and the surface of the tool setting
gauge should be no more than 30mm. After adjustment, the tool shank should be clipped by the clams on the red
cable.

Turning on the POWER switch on the control box, and clicking the "Tool Setting" button in the MACH3, Z
axis may slowly decline. When the tool tip touches the surface of the tool setting gauge, it may immediately stop,
and then automatically return upward 10mm.
Take away the tool setting gauge, and then the tool setting is completed. Attention that the coordinate data on
the Z axis should not be zero at this time.

3-1. Primary engraving practice: Engraving of graphic and texts

3-1-1. Step one: Clamp materials
This is a simple graphic engraving of pictures and texts, and it is also the main purpose of engraving machine.
Carving materials: wood or plastic
Material volume: 2502504mm.
KnifeZD3/3-10 Single blade knife
Engraving area: 220 * 220mm
Engraving depth: 1.5mm

3-1-2. Step two: Lead in tool path code

Import G code and the test file of "SUN6040.nc".

3-1-3. Step three: Tool setting

"Tool setting" means that after clamping the materials, move the cutter to the initial position set by the program
and the surface of the materials to be engraved; at the beginning of learning engraving, because we are not
familiar with the concept of coordinate, we should set all the initial points of engraving at the center of the
material. As the picture shows that the intersection of diagonal lines is the initial point.
1, install the cutting tool, make to tighten .
2, Clear all XYZ-axis to zero, and then use the "Tool-Presetter" to setting tool.
3, remove the Tool Presetter, at this time, please pay attention that, keep the Z-axis coordinates , do not clear
again.

3-1-4. Step four: Begin to engrave

first start the water pump;
Press VFD switch;
Click the "Start" button in Mach3, and it will begin to engrave.

Attention: at the time engraving, prevent the hand from getting too close to the cutter with highly revolving
speed, and do not observe it in close distance. After finishing the engraving, first turn down the revolving speed of
the principal axis to the minimum; then rise Z axis in Mach3 through manual control, and move the spindle motor
outside the engraving materials; and then turn off the power switch. Each time after finishing engraving, the
scraps generated by engraving should be cleared in time.
Summary: You have finished a whole process of engraving practice through this example. Whatever you engrave
in the future, it is of the same operation procedure as this.

3-2.Install auxiliary operating platform for your engraving machine

What is auxiliary operating platform?
Auxiliary operating platform is a board installed on the original operating platform of the machine, and it can
replace the original operating platform;
Why it is necessary to install an auxiliary operating platform?
In order to not damage the original operating platform when doing cutting operation; We usually cut some
boards with the engraving machine, but if without the auxiliary operating platform, it may cut the operating
platform in the process of cutting the board, thus permanently damaging the operating platform. Therefore, we
need an auxiliary platform, which is also called backing plate. In this way, we can cut the board and not damage to
the original operating platform of the machine.
It is very easy to install the auxiliary operating platform, and it only needs to fix a soft board (e.g. PVC, PMMA,
or wood board) on the original operating platform of the machine. Then, make an engraving file and let engraving
machine mill the auxiliary operating platform, with the purpose of obtaining higher evenness. It is also the most
efficient method to engrave double color plate, PCB or other materials that ask for higher demand of flatness.
As shown in the picture: first, clam a PVC board with the thickness of 10mm on the original operating platform of
the machine, then mill a plane, and obtain an auxiliary operating platform with high flatness at last. If the object
you engrave is usually not large, then you only need to install it on the latter part of the machine, so that it can be
applied for a long time and no need to be disassembled.

Now, we can use the auxiliary operating platform. Double color plate is one of the most commonly used engraving
materials, which is shown as the following picture:
Stick double-faced adhesive tape on the back of the double color plate;
Paste it on the milled plane of the auxiliary operating platform, and press it to make it stickfast;Tool setting;
Begin to engrave;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The application of engraving machine is easy, which can be summarized as: clamping materials, tool setting, and
engraving. However, just as operating the computer, some people use computer just for entertainment, so it lacks
of required skills; some people make design for creation, so they make great efforts for it. Therefore, the same
computer may play different roles for people with different requirements. It is the same for the engraving machine,
because it is only a tool, and if you want it to play a more important role and engrave better objects, you must
have the ability to "send command" to it. The command that can be executed by the engraving machine is called
"processing code", and in order to produce these "processing codes", you have to learn some software.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice for maintenance of the machine:

Each time after engraving, you should first close the principal axis and power switch, and then
clean the scraps produced by engraving in time.
Lubricate the guide way, bearing, and screw mandrel of the machine per time every month; Use
clean cotton fabric with white oil (sewing-machine oil) to clean the guide way, smear some white
lubricating grease on the screw mandrel, and then turn on the machine to operate for several times.
Then, lubricate all these parts again. Please attention that consistent grease is avoided.
Check the cable line of the drag chain at least one time per month, and loose the tight cable line in
time, so as to ensure that each line in the drag chain is loose. At the time of engraving, these cable
lines need to do flexure operations repeatedly, so if the line is tight, it may easily lead to the broken
of internal copper wire, thus causing poor contact. In this way, it may further let the electric motor
out of control.
Check all the screws every month, and tight the screws in time if they are loose.
If the machine remains not being used for a long time, you should oil it for maintenance, and then
storage it in the dry place with the covering of plastic film.
