(1) Place the machine:
Put the machine on a horizontal table, change plotter four foots, to keep plotter very horizontally. Make enough space not only to the front of plotters but also to the back of plotter.
No shake when cutting plotter is running. Don’t touch the vinyl cutter with magnet. Put the plotter in cleaning room.

starts to work on the way to CNC router . It is a different type machine from laser machine. Normally it is used to work on hard materials, such as wood, stone and many others. Sometimes it is also called PCB milling machine.

Caution: The laser engraver the machine used is high-energy invisible light. It harmful for human health and can get burn combustible easily! Before making sure the light way is correct, don turn on the power of the driver. In the case the machine is turned on, turning the power of the driver on may inspire the laser!
The laser is like a pencil with a beam of light. The controller uses the pencil to trace patterns onto the engraving surface. The controller, usually a computer, controls the direction, speed, intensity, and spread of the beam on the engraving surface. The surface material is selected for ease and appropriateness of laser engraving.

Laser engraving is the art of using the laser to engrave, mark, or etch an object.
Unlike other types of engraving, the technique does not require tool bits that wear out and have to be replaced. This is a great advantage. However, laser engraving can be technologically complex, often requiring a computer system to drive the movements of the laser head. Precise and clean engravings can be produced at a high rate of speed. Today there are polymers and metal alloys especially manufactured for laser engraving.

itself, as when silver, gold, steel, or glass are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations, which images are also called engravings.
Engraving was a historically important method of producing images on paper, both in artistic printmaking, and also for commercial reproductions and illustrations for books and magazines. It has long been replaced by photography in its commercial applications and, partly because of the difficulty of learning the technique, is much less common in printmaking, where it has been largely replaced by etching and other techniques.

A laser engraving machine
A laser engraverA laser engraving machine can be thought of as three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. The laser is like a pencil - the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller (usually a computer) controls the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface. The surface is picked to match what the laser can act on.
There are three main genres of engraving machines: The most common is the X-Y table where, usually, the workpiece (surface) is stationary and the laser moves around in X and Y directions drawing vectors. Sometimes the laser is stationary and the workpiece moves. Sometimes the workpiece moves in the Y axis and the laser in the X axis. A second genre is for cylindrical workpieces (or flat workpieces mounted around a cylinder) where the laser effectively traverses a fine helix and on/off laser pulsing produces the desired image on a raster basis. In the third method, both the laser and workpiece are stationary and galvo mirrors move the laser beam over the workpiece surface. Laser engravers using this technology can work in either raster or vector mode.
