General maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance, unplug the mains supply cable.
No internal part of the Gravograph machine requires user intervention : general maintenance is limited to external,
engraving work area and optics cleaning.
If you wish to have the inside of your machine cleaned, contact an approved Gravograph technician.
The mains cable should always be replaced if it is damaged in any way : flattened, nicked,
cracked etc..., or if there are bare wires.
Keeping the LASER system clean will ensure the highest quality engraving.
The frequency of cleaning will depend entirely on the type of material being engraved, the performance of your exhaust
blower, the operating environment, and the amount of LASER system usage over a given period of time.
Dirt or debris that is allowed to build up on the motion system components will cause uneven or rough engraving, or loss
of engraving position as well as premature component failure.
Smoke or dirt buildup on the optics can cause damage to them, loss of LASER power, or premature failure of these
components.
Use good judgment and keep in mind that a clean machine is the best performing machine.
