Vision strives for the highest quality in their manufacturing process to provide you

with the most cost effective, reliable engraving machine in use today. Please

remember that proper maintenance and care is necessary to achieve maximum

product life expectancy.

The engraving environment generates small plastic and metal chips as well as other particles

during operation. As with any machinery, your engraving system should be kept as clean as

possible to minimize wear and tear, and to improve final quality of the engraved product.

REMOVING CHIPS

Plastic and metal chips, generated during the engraving process, should be removed from the

engraving surface periodically. A portable vacuum is suggested for chip removal, but applying

direct suction to the spindle area is not recommended.

Note that this cleaning can be minimized and greatly simplified through the use of the optional

vacuum chip removal system. The vacuum chip removal system removes chips and dust created

by engraving. This system can also extend the life of other components in the system, as

prompt removal of chips reduces contamination and overheating in the spindle area. The

vacuum chip removal system also keeps the nose cone from skipping over letters due to chips

on the engraving surface.

Cleaning The Nose Cone

The nose cone around the cutter may accumulate dust and chips that cannot be removed by

sucking them off or blowing on them with low pressure air. (CAUTION! High pressure air can

damage the spindle.) Two types of nose cones are available; one nose cone is designed to be

used with the vacuum system, the other is not. Cleaning methods depend on the type of nose

cone in use.

With a vacuum chip removal system (see fig 5.1), most of the chips will be removed during the

engraving process. If the suction nozzle becomes clogged, remove the hose connection to the

nose cone. Remove the cutter, then unscrew the vacuum nose cone. Using a vacuum or an air

hose, clean out the nose and the vacuum tube leading to the nose cone. Reinstall the nose cone

and the vacuum hose.

Without a vacuum chip removal system you should remove the cutter before attempting to clean

the nose cone. The nose cone retainer ring, the nose cone, and the micrometer collar should all

be removed and cleaned using a vacuum or blowing air. The three nose cone components should

be removed and cleaned at least every day, and as frequently as necessary. Failure to clean the

nose cone regularly will result in premature spindle failure.
