5. Processing Setup
5.1. Go back to zero (Go zero operation) The origin is the mechanical zero of the machine, so go back to zero is also called go zero operation. The functions of control system rely on the operation of go back to zero, such as break-point processing function, cutting electricity renew function, etc. If there

7.3 Software Process In CorelDraw, the sweeping method of vendor graph or character sweeping are basic divided into edge sweeping and area sweeping. In this software, we identify the edge sweeping as cutting, while area sweeping as sweeping(Scanning); Processed BMP image belongs to sweeping. 7.3.1Image Sweeping 1Sweeping Select the target graph or characters, click right button of the mouse, select the Property Processor, click to choose sweeping color; then click will just sweep the inner part of the graph or the words. and set width as 0 in Edgeit

You just need to click button to set its process parameter.When you process the image file in CorelDraw or PhotoShop , you need to adjust the graphs brightness and contrast, then change it into a gray graph, then change it into a bitmap file, finally change this bitmap file into gray graph, it is the file which can be processed. 7.3.2 Trace output Setup After having processed graph files in CorelDraw , click and button showsclick this button and enter Process Property figure 3select your process mode, then click left button of the mouse to set process parameter, click Trace and enter the file download window, click to save the trace as a file, click to send the trace to the controller. The unselected trace will not be outputted, and it is also possible to output multi traces to one file. 7.4 Laser Process Parameter: 7.4.1Laser Sweeping Parameter Laser Power: the percent is to adjust the laser output power, users need to adjust it for different working materials and speed.
