3.3 Gosod Meddalwedd

The ACMER S2 is compatible with popular laser control software such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Download and install the latest version of your preferred software from the official websafleoedd.

3.4 Addasiad Ffocws

Accurate focus is critical for optimal engraving and cutting results. Use the provided focus block or a similar object to set the correct focal distance.

1. Place the material to be processed on the work area.
2. Position the laser module over the material.
3. Place the focus block (typically 3mm thick) between the laser module and the material surface.
4. Loosen the thumbscrew on the side of the laser module.
5. Adjust the laser module's height until its bottom edge rests gently on the focus block.
6. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the laser module in place.
7. Remove the focus block. The laser is now focused correctly for the material thickness.

4.1 Material Preparation

Ensure your material is clean, flat, and free of obstructions. Secure the material to the work area to prevent movement during operation.

4.2 Llwytho Deunydd

Place the material onto the honeycomb workbed. Ensure it is positioned within the working area of 300x300mm.

4.3 Software Operation and Parameter Settings

Open your chosen software (LightBurn or LaserGRBL). Import your design and configure the engraving or cutting parameters. These parameters include:

• Cyflymder: Determines how fast the laser head moves. Higher speeds are generally used for engraving or light cutting.
• Pwer: Controls the laser's intensity. Higher power is needed for cutting thicker materials or deeper engraving.
• Passes: The number of times the laser will trace the same path. Multiple passes are often required for cutting thicker materials.

Refer to the software's documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your projects. Experiment with small test pieces to find the optimal settings for your specific material and desired outcome.

4.4 Dechrau Gweithredu

Once parameters are set and the material is secured, initiate the engraving or cutting process from your software. The machine will begin executing the design.

4.5 Material Compatibility and Cutting Depth

The ACMER S2 can engrave over 100 different materials and cut various thicknesses depending on the laser wattage and number of passes. For example, the 12W laser can cut up to 15mm paulownia wood and 12mm black acrylic with multiple passes.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your ACMER S2.

• Cleaning the Laser Module: Periodically clean the laser lens and nozzle with a soft, lint-free cloth and appropriate lens cleaning solution.
• Glanhau'r Ardal Waith: The honeycomb workbed can accumulate debris. Clean it regularly to prevent residue buildup that could affect cutting quality or pose a fire hazard.
• Iro: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the guide rails and lead screws as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth movement.
• Air Assist (Optional): If using an optional air assist pump, ensure its nozzle is clear and the air flow is unobstructed. Air assist helps achieve cleaner cuts and reduces charring.
