The two most important parameter settings are Outline output and Carve output. If
neither of the two is selected, ―output disabled‖ will be shown, i.e., no engraving output
for this kind of drawings will be carried out; if both are selected, data in this color will be
provided with possibility of both Outline and Carve output, pay attention that there must
be closed drawings for Carve. Otherwise, select one of them for one output condition.
PrecisionUnit: the unit of precision of engraving.
DPI(dots/inch): dots per inch
DPM(dots/mm): dots per millimeter
SpeedUnit: the work speed and the free speed unit.
m/minute: meter per minute
mm/s: millimeter per second
PRI: Is used for setting the engraving order of different colors, the smaller PRI, the
earlier to be exported, and vice versa.
Those are common settings for colors. ―Outline‖ and ―Carve‖ menus are respectively
corresponding to settings for Outline and Carve. For Outline, there are settings for
engraving features including speed, power intensity etc., for dots, the dotting time
settings are also available; and the settings for Carve follow the same way.
When the check box of ―default‖ is selected, no need to set the power intensity and
speed and the default values of the machine will be adopted; settings for power
intensity and speed are only available in case the check box of ―default‖ is not
selected.
Parameters description:
Output: When selected, engraving output for drawings in the current color will be
carried out.
Min. Power: When stroking curves, this power intensity applied for line start and the
corner of the curve .Or it applied for the top depth when gradient carving. The range is
0.00-100.00% (Min.Power1 is setting for min power of laser1, Min. Power2 is setting
for min power of laser2. Max. power is similar).
Max. Power: When stroking curves, this power intensity is applied as the work speed
was reached. Or it applied for the bottom depth when gradient carving. The range is
0.00-100.00%. If the is elbow too deep, it means the Min. power intensity is on the high
side or the speed is on the low side. When gradient carving is carried out, the min
power must not be set bigger than 30%, the max power can be set bigger, for getting a
better degree of gradient carving effect. The gradient rang is 0-3mm.
Work Speed: The work speed of the laser head is cutting. The rang is 0.000 to Axis
X,Y limit speed.

39
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

Free speed: The move speed of laser head when the laser is off. he rang is 0.000 to
Axis X,Y limit speed.
Default: If selected, parameters like power intensity and speed etc. will be in
accordance with what displayed on the machine.
Open/Close delay: open delay is applied for the head of the cutting line. And the close
delay is applied fo the tail of the cutting line. The range is 0-15s.
Open Air: when open air check box is click, the blow air signal is active when work is
start. There is two ways of blow air, one is the blow air signal is always active. The
other is when laser is on the blow air signal is active otherwise not active.
Z_AxisMoveSize(mm): the moving distance of lift axis before work start. When work
is finish lift axis move back to the original position. The steps to enable the automatic
lifting function is below: Click the AxisControl button at the bottom, then select the
Allow_zAxis.,and set the SelectAxis as Z, click OK to back to the parameter setting
interface, now it is able to modify the Z_AxisMoveSize. Attention: This function is use
to the case of cutting the material with various thickness. By adjusting the position of
laser head, to make the laser head move to the position of the laser focal length is
reach.
Hit_point: for hit point or drill on material. Firstly click the ―Hit_Point‖ check box. Then
set the Point_Interval—interval between dots—and the Hit_Time—laser on timer, unit
is second.
Spot Compen.: Spot compensation is for compensating the size lose resulting from
the spot is too much big. The unit is mm.
Reseau: In the carve page, it can set the engraving mode to reseau mode. The reseau
mod is suitable for closed vector graphics.when the Open_Reseau check box is
selected, three parameters below can be set:
 Pattern: Round, Square, Triangle
 Interval(mm): Interval between dots
 Size(mm): the size of dots. When the pattern is round, the size is the length of
diameter. When the pattern is square, it is length of edge. When pattern is
triangle, ti is the edge of external rectangle of triangle.
Carve method:
 X_Unilateralism: Engraving from one horizontal side, when move inversely ,the
laser is off. It can eliminate backlash and the processing effect is good, but the
processing time is longer.
 X_Bidirectiona(recommended): Engraving from both horizontal sides. The
processing time is short. But because the machine generally exist backlash leads
to dislocation. At this time you need to set up a backlash or backlash list.
40
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

 Y_Unilateralism: Engraving from one vertical side, when move inversely ,the laser
is off. It can eliminate backlash and the processing effect is good, but the
processing time is longer.
 Y_Bidirectional: Engraving from both vertical sides. The processing time is short.
But because the machine generally exist backlash leads to dislocation. At this time
you need to set up a backlash or backlash list.
Gradient(mm): the gradient length of gradient engraving, as shown in figure below.
When carry out gradient engraving, the top depth is determined by the min power. The
larger the min power, the deeper the top depth. The Depth from top to bottom is
determined by the max power. The larger the max power, the deeper the depth. The
gradient length determines the distance from the top to the bottom, the greater the
distance, the slope more flat.

Fig. 4-5
Precision: the precision of engraving. The unit is DPI or DMP. It means how many
lines will be processed per inch or per millimeter. For example, 500 DPI means it will
process 20 lines within 1 millimeter length. The greater the precision value, the deeper
the engraved depth.
ReverseRepair: use to compensate the backlash of the machine. The debug step is
as follows.
 Draw three 50X50 rectangle in CorelDRAW, select the carve output check box in
parameter setting window. And set precision as 2 DPI, ReverseRepair as 0. Then
output the file to control card.
 The actual processing effect is similar to the figure below. The length of first line
and second line dislocation in the middle rectangle is the compensated length.
Generally it is negative, according to the engraving effect to set it. As the figure
shown below, the length is -0.2mm. So the ReverseRepair is -0.2.

Fig. 4-6

41
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

 When finish setting the ReverseRepair, set the appropriate value of max power
and precision. Generally, 60W CO2 laser, 53.5 Focus lens, 350DPI is
recommended. The greater the precision, the longer the engraving time.
IntervalList: select the UseList check box then the IntervalList setting is applied to the
engraving file. In this case, the ReverseRepair is useless. The function of IntervalList is
similar to the ReverseRepair, use to adjust the engraving effect. In the list of
IntervalList, it can set the backlash in different speed. Because of working in different
speed, the backlash is different. The greater speed, the bigger the backlash.

After the parameter settings, the engraving output can be carried out, the
system will remember the last parameter settings to avoid repeated parameter
settings. For instance, if you set the red output power intensity at (50%, speed at
20%, no error compensation and PRI at 1), the same setting will be applied for
the use of the color red (if any) for the next time.

the equipment or open the parameter files already saved first, and then modify the
parameters (If read failure, please check if computer is connected to control card by
the USB cable or network cable).
Write: Write the parameter values set by the user into the equipment (authorizing code
provided by the manufacture is required: TZ0001), and then the equipment will operate
according to the parameters written into it. When the parameter settings of the
equipment is not completed, click on this button, and the ―Some Data is Invalidate‖ will
51
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

be shown in the status bar at the bottom, the parameters cannot be written into the
machine.
Clear: Besides the drop-down box option, the rest of the parameter value will be set to
null, which is no parameter values.
※ Topwisdom software uses serial ports for writing and reading, therefore, once a kind
of software is using a serial port, other software cannot use this serial port.
Equipment Type: type of the used machine. There are mainly general engravers and
brand engravers.
Open_cover safeguard: If Yes is selected, whenever the cover is open by user,
machine will start the safety protective measures, to pause working. In the case of
equipment with safety protection, which do not use the open protection, user can also
will set the Open_cover safeguard parameter as "No". Such as test equipment, test
process, but this operation must be performed by the professionals, generally don't
recommend customers to use.
Laser Type: Select proper laser device type according to the laser device used by the
machine.
PWM Frequency: I.e., the power intensity frequency of the laser tube, this value
differs according to different types of the laser tubes; please consult the instructions for
the laser tube for details.
Least Light: The min. duty ratio supported by the engraver.
Most Light: The max. duty ratio supported by the engraver.
Laser Open/Close Delay: the delay parameter set to avoid the uneven edges of the
first Outline and the last Outline when the laser is on or off.
Laser on Delay: Because it takes a short period to start the laser, in order to make the
power and the laser head be started synchronously, the laser device is started before
the laser head. I.e., the Laser On Delay.
Laser off Delay: Because it takes another period of time to shut off the laser after
receiving the instruction, in order to avoid excessive engraving, the laser is shut off in
advance.
Least Pulse Width: The min. pulse width to be recognized by the laser device.

Direction Polarity: Classified into positive and negative, when the motion direction of
the motor disaccords with the direction control buttons on the keyboard, you can
change the direction polarity to make them consistent with each other.
Limit Polarity: Classified into positive and negative, when the motor cannot return to
the original position, you can change the limit polarity to make it normal.
Key Polarity: The buttons on the control panel correspond to directions of the motion
of the axes, if it moves to the right when you press the left, change the polarity.
Note: set the limit polarity first, then direction polarity, and key polarity last.
Movement Precision (µm): The move distance per pulse, the unit is µm. The
resolution of machines may be changed slowly due to different abrasion and other
factors of machines, the user may get the optimal value after multiple times of
debugging and settings.
Calculation of Resolution: Accurate Resolution = Current Resolution × Real Size/
WishSize.
Current Resolution: The resolution set at current operation of the equipment, i.e., the
resolution in the parameter settings of the equipment, which can be read from the

53
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

equipment.
RealSize: The length on the effect drawing designed by the user, normally in whole
numbers but not exceeding the max. travel.
WishSize: The length of the track left by the engraver on the engraved material, which
can be measured by measuring tools.

Fig. 4-18
About the size of the measuring:
Draw a 30*30 rectangle to calculate the resolution. When measuring, the width of the
laser beam needs to be considered. The processed reactangle is as shown in figure
below. Take the measured value of the X axis 34mm, and input 34 into the RealSize
edit box and 30 into the WiseSize edit box. Click ok the program will calculate out the
right resolution. Other Axis is similar. When calculate the resolution of Y, the RealSize
is the length of trace the beam moved.

Fig. 4-19

Test Precision(µm): This parameter is valid when the equipment is provided with the
closed-loop detection system, this parameter finally decides the errors between the
engraved dimensions and the designed dimensions, in this case, only the adjustment
of this parameter rather than the minute changes of the motion resolution will influence
the engraved dimensions.
This parameter is invalid when the equipment is not provided with the closed-loop
detection system. In this case, the minute changes of the motion resolution will directly
influence the engraved dimensions.

54
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

Most Speed (mm/s): The max. speed allowed for single-axis movement. This value
decides the max. Engraving speed and cutting speed.
Stop Speed (mm/s): The speed of sudden stop during single-axis motion, i.e., the
motion stops speed.
If the stop speed is high, the equipment will get greater impact when stopping and
starting; the effect of engraving will be poor while the engraving efficiency will be high;
Most_Acc( mm/s2): Max acceleration of the axis, the ratio of change of speed. It is
the ability of speed change from one value to another value in unit time.
The higher the acceleration, the time of the speed from one variable to another is
shorter. And carving efficiency is high, but the impact of the equipment and equipment
abrasion is big;
Otherwise, efficiency is low, the impact of equipment and equipment abrasion is small.
The max acceleration must match the max speed. Then device will work in the best
state (that is, the equipment work with high speed and carved to obtain the very good
effect). In general, the user can set the parameters reasonable according to their
requirement for engraving speed and accuracy.
To meet the accuracy requirement of the user, it can improve the speed and
acceleration to make engraving efficiency.
If speed is now meet the requirements of users, or it was unable to reach the maximum
speed of current Settings, the user can appropriately reduce the speed value. Because
each user's environment and engraving requirement is different, so the device‘s max
speed and the max acceleration will also be different. Users can obtain the best
parameters after repeated practice.
Max. Space: As either the bean or the guide rail has a fixed length, each machine has
a max working breadth (i.e., working range), which limits the motion of the machine
within the max working breadth and makes the trolley and the beam move within the
working range. The trolley and the beam will not hit the machine edge as there‘s the
limitation of max space.

4.4.4 Supplementary Description of Carving

AutoCAD provides the Carving output, which only needs the contour of a drawing
instead of filling, which should be particularly paid attention to.
Please note that for drawings drawn in AutoCAD, the Carving in direct output is carried
out according to the contour, you need not to draw the drawings in the filled mode,
besides, there‘s no difference between intaglio and incised inscription, Fig.4-30 shows
the effects of the origin drawing and the drawing after Carving output, as there‘s no
difference of intaglio and incised inscription in vector graphics, you may get the effect
of incised inscription by drawing, please see Fig. 4-31 if there‘s relation of inclusion
between two outline drawings in the same color, the effect shown in the drawing below
will be created. If multiple layers of drawings in the same color are included, the effect
will be as follows, its rule of Carving output is that: engraving the first layer, not
engraving the next layer, and then engraving the further next layer, and the rest may be
deduced by analogy. Please see Fig. 4-32

From what described above, we may see that for Carving out of vector graphics, filling
is not needed, and there‘ll not be this kind of influence between drawings in different
colors, as shown in Figure Fig. 4-33 drawings in different colors are in the relation of
inclusion, no influence on each other. There‘s overlay between the two parts of
Carvings. We believe you may have deeper understanding for the Carving modes of
AutoCAD.

4.4.5 Supplementary Description of Software and CAD Direct

Output

Announcement: This document is mainly purposed to provide some methods of

analysis and solutions for the disorder of the engraving for vector graphics, as the
applications are diversified, some problems cannot be completely solved by our

62
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

software alone, Therefore, sometimes the user need to make improvements for the
drawing so as to make the operation of the machine in accordance with our ideas.
Some simple drawings may be connected and exported in order
See the figure below:

Fig. 4-34
In Fig. 4-34, we first draw the curve at the center from the left to the right, then draw the
line section on the right from right to left, finally, we draw the line section on the left
from left to right, according to the original output processing, the result will be as
follows.

1
3 2

Fig. 4-35
And the order of output by the equipment follows the numbers displayed in Fig. 4-35
the direction for each step of output is shown by the arrow. This effect is poor as its not
completed from the beginning to the end b one run.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem, 1: draw the drawings in order or combine them
with the merger operation provided in software like CorelDRAW or AutoCAD etc., 2:
our software engraving can change the order into a smooth and continuous way of
operating from the beginning to the end when processing the drawings.
The current software has make processing to drawings as shown in Figure 1 to make
them to be exported from the beginning to the end, i.e., this problem of output order
has been solved in the latest version of the software. However, we recommend our
users to draw the drawings in order when using AutoCAD or CorelDRAW etc., if you
fail to do that, you can combine them together with the merger operation provided in
the aforesaid software, which may provide higher fault tolerance.
Normalized output for complicated drawings are shown in Fig.4-36 below

Fig. 4-36
Fig.4-36 is not so complicated, however, according to our observation, many users will

63
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

draw the figure in several sections instead of drawing it continuously, therefore, the
software will create multiple effects of output (this is relevant to the order of drawing of
different users), however, may be none of the effects is what you expect.

Please see the following sample for different effects of cutting.

Cutting 1 Cutting 2 Cutting 3

Cutting 4 Cutting 5
Fig. 4-37
As you can see in the drawings above, it totally takes 5 times to cut the entire drawing,
and the procedure is disordered. The effect is not expected, seeing from the stroking in
the drawings above, each Outline reaches the end and stops till there‘s no connected
line section, but it is hard to choice the path in this way, and there‘s also great
randomness, therefore, the entire drawing is divided into several parts. There‘s little
software, currently, is provided with the capacity to manage the problems as a whole
like human being, for instance, cutting the external rectangle before the internal part
etc.. Therefore, we must pay attention to this kind of drawing when drawing, e.g., if you
want to cut the two rectangles along the 4 sides, you must combine the separate line
sections of the rectangles together with software, thus the disordered engraving will be
avoided and a relatively neat path will be achieved. Many users just patch up the
drawings Outline by Outline in irregular order, therefore, multiple types of stroking will
be created for a drawing as shown in Fig.4-34, which is actually very simple, while in
fact, there are many drawings much more complicated than this one, one joint may be
connected with many line sections, and the stroking will be more disordered, so it‘s
hard to arrange the order effectively by our software alone, and you must solve the
problem from the beginning, the method of drawing.
Disordered output for single lines without joint or crossing

Fig. 4-38
Fig. 4-38 seems to the same to Fig. 4-34 at first view; however, the engraving is
disordered, why? Let‘s amplify the drawing and you can see that there‘s no joint
64
 泰智科技 Shenzhen Topwisdom Technology Co., Ltd

between the line sections, so the order cannot the arranged. Therefore, when drawing,
pay attention that the joints must be closed.
No display when opening the drawing in a 3rd party engraving software, or run into a
wall when using CAD for direct output.
For example, you draw a drawing in CAD, which looks normal, while it cannot be
displayed in a 3rd party engraving software, or run into a wall when exported to the
equipment. Why? This is normally caused by a small drawing or dot far away from the
drawing, which is not what the user expects to process but is just drawn by mistake,
this makes the whole drawing to be so large and cannot be seen when opened in
another software after zooming out, and the breadth of output will be far exceeding the
operation breadth of the equipment, which will also cause problems.
Part of the drawings of CAD direct output or in DXF files cannot be displayed and
processed
AutoCAD2005 is newly provided with region tools and table tools, parts of a closed
drawing can be processed into the drawing of a region via the region tools on the left.
Then the software cannot recognize and process it, so pay attention that there should
not be any region drawing when drawing, if there are some, they should be redrawn by
line sections or curves or be broken up with breakup operation. Tables drawn with the
table tools should follow the same way, they can be normally exported after being
broken up, those are all new features after AutoCAD2005.

 Resolution: the resolution = the length that the laser head moving when the motor
rotate a cycle×1000 / the pulses that the driver output when the motor rotate a
cycle.
 Speed Max: The maximum speed allowed for single-axis movement. This value
decides the max. Engraving speed and cutting speed.
 Speed Stop: The speed of start or stop during single-axis motion, i.e., the motion
stops speed.
 Acc: The Max acceleration of this axis, the bigger the acceleration, the shorter the
work time, and the stronger jitter of motion.
 Jerk: The acceleration of the acceleration change from the minimum acceleration
to upgrade to the maximum acceleration—Or the changed from the maximum
acceleration reduce to minimum acceleration during slowdown..The smaller the
jerk, the weaker the jitter of motion, the slower of acceleration and deceleration.
Otherwise, the jitter is stronger, the accelerating and decelerating is the faster.
 Axis Distance: Maximum distance for axis can move.

6.2.2 Resolution

finish input the value of RealSize and WishSize, press ―Enter‖ to calculate the
resolution automatically.
About measurement:
Draw a 30*30 rectangle to calculate the resolution. When measuring, the width of the
laser beam needs to be considered. The processed rectangle is as shown in figure
below. Take the measured value of the X axis 34mm, and input 34 into the Want Size
edit box and 30 into the Want Size edit box. Click ok the program will calculate out the
right resolution. Other Axis is similar. When calculate the resolution of Y, the Real Size
is the length of trace the beam moved.

the limit signal‘s high level is effective. When the limit polarity is negative, the limit
signal‘s low level is effective.
 Axis Di: Direction polarity (positive and negative): When the axis moves reversely,
you can resolve this problem by changing this axis‘ direction polarity.
 Back Origin You can select any axis to return to the origin, and other axes don‘t
move.
 Start Init: You can set the four axes individually. If this axis is set as enable status,
the axis returns to the origin automatically when the circuit board is powered on,
otherwise, it stays in the current location. The machine takes the current point as
machine origin by default.
 Home Speed (mm/s): The homing speed.
