EzCad2 Software Operation Manual

The course covers everything from the basics of EzCad2 operation to in-depth optimization of parameters, as well as detailed solutions to problems that may occur in setting up a laser marking machine.The guide covers topics such as how to avoid pitfalls when importing data files, how to set up parameters for different materials, and how to respond to unexpected problems, helping operators improve marking accuracy and efficiency and reducing the risk of equipment downtime.

The software is easy to use.

Interface layout and functional areas.

The first time you use EzCad2, the multitude of buttons might be intimidating. In fact, only a few buttons are really necessary. The left side of the screen is the layer management area, the right side is the parameter adjustment area, and the middle is the preview window.First, remember the location of the "File Import" and "Tag Test" buttons, as these are the most frequently used functions.

The correct way to import design documents.

Don't drag and drop a file into the program, as this can cause the program to freeze. Click on the "File" menu at the top left of the screen, and select "Import Vector Graphics." Prioritize PLT or DXF formats.If lines are broken, you can try the "automatic connection" function, which has a success rate of more than 80 %.

Advanced techniques for parameter settings.

The golden ratio of power and speed.

Don ’ t blindly rely on the default settings! For metal, use a power setting of 60 % and a speed of 800 mm / s. For plastics, 30 % power and a speed of 1,200 mm / s is a safer bet.Is the engraving too deep or shallow? Remember to reduce the speed by about 100mm / s for every 5 % increase in power.

Secrets of focusing on different materials.

Acrylic material can get blurry if the focal length is off by 1 mm. I'll teach you a simple trick: first, make a cross out of scrap material and adjust the focal length up and down until the lines are as thin as possible.The tolerance for metal is 2 millimeters, because the glare makes it hard to see with the naked eye.

Common problems and emergency measures.

What should be done about mislabeling?

Don't rush to adjust the machine! In 80 % of cases it's because the origin isn't aligned.To check whether the software's "marking origin" coincides with the physical reference point, A4 paper is an extremely useful tool for calibration.If the deviation is greater than 2 mm, consider recalibrating the mirror.

What to do when you make a mistake on air.

If you encounter a "communications failure," it's faster to unplug and replug the USB cable and restart the software than to reboot the computer.If the warning "temperature too high" appears, turn off the machine and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Don't use a fan to blow on the machine, or the moisture could damage its delicate optical components.
