2. Veiligheidsrichtlijnen

Operating a laser engraver involves inherent risks. Adhere strictly to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage.

• Oogbescherming: Always wear the provided laser protective eyewear when the machine is in operation. The laser is Class IV and can cause severe eye damage.
• Bediening zonder toezicht: Do not leave the machine running unattended. Constant supervision is required during operation.
• Ventilatie: Gebruik de machine in een goed geventileerde ruimte, zodat dampen en rook die tijdens het graveren en snijden ontstaan, kunnen ontsnappen.
• Materiaalveiligheid: Only engrave or cut materials specified as safe. Avoid materials that produce toxic fumes or are highly flammable.
• Noodstop: Maak uzelf vertrouwd met de locatie en werking van de noodstopknop.
• Kinderen en huisdieren: Houd kinderen en huisdieren uit de buurt van het werkgebied.

3. Producteigenschappen

The SCULPFUN S30 incorporates several advanced features for enhanced performance and user experience:

• Automatisch luchtassistentiesysteem: Equipped with a 32-bit automatic air assist motherboard and an air pump, intelligently controlled via LightBurn software (M8 button). This system significantly improves cutting efficiency and cleanliness by blowing away debris.
• High-Pressure Air-Assisted Nozzle: Generates a high-pressure airflow of 30L/min, accelerating cutting speed by over 5 times compared to operations without air assist. Ensures clean cut surfaces.
• Industrial X-Axis Guide Rail: Features a precision industrial-grade X-axis guide rail, ensuring stable and accurate engraving and cutting without ripple patterns, even on small details.
• Stevig en duurzaam frame: Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, the frame can withstand up to 50KG of weight, ensuring long-term durability and precision. The modular design allows for future laser upgrades.
• Veelzijdige materiaalcompatibiliteit: Capable of engraving wood, MDF, zigzag, cardboard, plastic, rust, circuit board, aluminum oxide, 304 stainless steel, ceramics, and dark stone. It can cut black acrylic sheet, cardboard, non-woven fabric, bamboo sheet, leather, and certain plastic panels.

7. Basisbediening

This section outlines the fundamental steps for engraving and cutting.

7.1. Materiaalplaatsing

Place the material to be engraved or cut flat on the working surface. Ensure it is stable and does not move during operation.

7.2. De laser scherpstellen

The S30 uses a fixed focus column and sliding device for focusing. Position the laser module over the material and adjust its height until the laser beam is at its smallest point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting performance.

7.3. Uw ontwerp voorbereiden

Import your design into the software (e.g., LightBurn). Adjust parameters such as power, speed, and number of passes according to the material type and desired outcome. For automatic air assist, ensure the M8 command is enabled in LightBurn for cutting operations.

7.4. Starten met werken

Once the design is prepared and the laser is focused, initiate the engraving or cutting process from the software. Monitor the machine closely throughout the operation.

8. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SCULPFUN S30.
