Positioning the plate onto the vice
3.
Choose the jigs according to the length of the plate (consult your GRAVOGRAPH dealer for more
information on the various jigs available).
The length of the plate should not exceed the length of the jigs (pict. 25).
See "Clamping the object to be engraved" in the "Physical configuration of the machine" paragraph of chapter "Engraving
techniques" in the user manual "CN 97 Program".
4.
Choose adequate side of the jigs according to the thickness of the plate.
The plate should be slightly higher than the jigs (pict. 26) to avoid that the regulating nose touches the jigs.
5.
Mark the middle of the plate.
6.
Centre the plate so that the centre mark is lined up with the 0 on the jig (diagram 27).
7.
Using the tightening knob, tighten the plate so that it cannot move during engraving.
If the plate is correctly tightened, noise and vibrations are reduced to a minimum when the machine is engraving.
Check that the object is tightened correctly to ensure that it is not ejected during
engraving.
