How to operate the stone engraving machine correctly?

Many friends called to ask us about the technology. Why did I have a problem in the course of operation, engraving broken knives, etc. Many of them were caused by improper operation of artificial machines, so today Xiaobian tells everyone how to operate the stone correctly. Engraving machine:



    1. Before starting the stone engraving machine, first make sure that all connections between the machine and the computer are normal, then turn on the machine power and computer power. After the system is started, enter the NCStudio CNC system.
   2. Select the "Return to machine origin" menu after opening the control system. The machine will automatically return to the machine origin and correct the system coordinate system. In some cases, after the normal shutdown as above, the power is turned back on and the last operation is continued, and the user does not have to perform a mechanical reset operation. The NCStudio system saves the current coordinate information when it exits normally. In addition, if the user confirms that the current location is correct, you can not do this.
    3. Before processing, the user generally needs to load the required machining program. Otherwise, some functions related to automatic machining are invalid. Selecting the "Open (F)|Open (O)..." menu will bring up the Windows standard file operation dialog, from which you can select the drive, path, and file name where you want to open the file. After clicking the "Open" button, the machining program is loaded into the system.
   4. Determine the workpiece origin, manually move the X and Y directions of the stone engraving machine to the desired origin position on the workpiece, select the "Set the current point as the workpiece origin" menu, or set the coordinate value of the current position in the coordinate window. Cleared, so that when the machining program is executed, the current position is used as the starting point for machining.

What are the knowledge of engraving machine engraving?

The carving machine can't sculpt the bitmap, and the photos we usually take are bitmap patterns. The only way is to turn bitmaps into vector graphics, and simple graphs can be converted directly with software, such as Photoshop. More complicated pictures are needed

The craftsmanship is generally written in gold carving software. After converting it into a vector image, it can be done with machine software.
     
          Let's understand the difference between the vector image and the bitmap:
   
1, vector
       Vector illustration, also known as a vector diagram, is a series of computer instructions to describe and record a picture, a picture can be solved as a series of sub-graphs composed of points, lines, and surface ratios, which records the geometry of the target Shape, line thickness and color. The generated vector file has a small amount of storage, which is especially suitable for word planning, pattern planning, layout planning, logo planning, computer-aided planning (CAD), arts and crafts planning, illustrations, etc.

        Vector graphics can only represent graphics with regular lines, such as engineering drawings, 3D modeling or artistic words; pictures about irregular pixels (landscapes, people, landscapes) are difficult to express in mathematical form and should not be used. Vector graphics; secondly, vector graphics are not easy to make colorful pictures, the pictures produced are not very real, and it is not convenient to exchange data between different software. In addition, vector graphics cannot be scanned, they are mainly generated by planning software. Vector drawing program definition (like mathematics)
Calculate the angle, arc, area, and spatial orientation relative to the paper, including the wireframe that gives the fill and wheel characteristics. Common vector processing software includes CoreIDRAW, AutoCAD, Illustrator and FreeHand.

2, bitmap
      Bitmaps are also known as bitmaps or pixmaps. The graphs on the computer screen are made up of light-emitting points (ie, pixels) on the screen. Each point uses binary data to describe information such as color and brightness. These points are discrete. , similar to a dot matrix. The color combination of multiple pixels forms a picture, called a bitmap.

      When the bitmap is expanded to a certain limit, it is found to be composed of small squares called pixel points, and one pixel is the smallest picture element in the picture. When processing a bitmap picture, the pixel is modified instead of the target or shape. Its size and quality depend on the number of pixels in the picture. The more pixels per square inch, the clearer the picture, between colors. The smoother the blending. The computer memory bitmap is actually the orientation and color data ratio and information of each pixel in the stored picture, so

The clearer the picture, the more pixels there are, and the larger the storage capacity.

      The bitmap picture is more simple than the vector picture. The main advantage of bitmap graphics is that it is expressive, delicate, multi-layered, and has many details. It can simulate the real effect like a photo very simply. Since the pixels in the picture are modified, the sharpness and smoothness of the picture are affected when the picture is stretched, enlarged or reduced. Bitmap drawings can be acquired via digital cameras, scans or PhotoCDs, and can be generated by other planning software

      Bitmap drawings, also known as bitmaps or drawings, consist of a single point called a pixel. When the bitmap is enlarged, a single picture element constituting the picture can be seen. Enlarging the bitmap size is to increase a single pixel, making the lines and shapes look jagged. But if it is a little further away!
