mScara User Guide-Laser Version

（1）Use instruction of mScara laser upgrade pack

As laser energy has higher density, make sure that corresponding protection

measure is taken during use. Don’t look at the laser light path by naked eye, don’t irradiate

others by the laser to prevent growing blind or injury to others.

The laser for this product is 405nm, 500mW blue-violet light semiconductor laser.

Operating voltage DC 12V, operating temperature 0℃-50℃, and storage and transport

temperature -40℃-85℃

Material applicable for engraving and cutting: Wood board, non-transparent

ACRYL, paper (color paper and paperboard), foam paper, dark color cloth (jean

cloth, cotton cloth and linen), leather and other materials with higher absorbancy

and low melting point.

Materials not applicable for engraving: Metal such as aluminum, stainless

steel, mirror, glass, ceramic, and other transmissivity maternal with high melting

point and high reflectivity

mScara User Guide-Laser Version

Warning

Wavelengthγ= 405nm blue-violet diode laser

Don’t directly irradiate eye or skin by the laser beam

Note:

When the laser is used, take eye protecting measure. When a specific material is cut

by the laser, it is possible to produce toxic smoke, so take ventilation measure. The

children or the person unfamiliar with the laser are not allowed to independently touch or

use the laser device.

Hint 1

4 assembly modes are used for mDrawBot, the assembly of all movable parts has

assembly accuracy requirement, install and finely adjust the robot strictly as required by the

assembly description, especially adjustment of shaft and rotating part, steering engine and

rudder arm, machine levelness.

Hint 2

The material object may differ from the picture provided in the specification, so the

specification is only for reference, and specification and software may be changed without

prior notice. Please assess the website for detailed change:
