Instruction Manual
It opens the gcodes subdirectory under the local program installation directory by default. Therefore,
we recommend putting your G-Code files here for easy management.
Upload: Select and upload local files.
Open: Open the file and preview it without uploading it (you can also do this without connecting
the Carvera).
Close: Back to the remote file management interface.
Recent Places: Short cut for recently used directories.
2. Task configuration and execution
If you have used CNC before, you definitely know that a CNC machining task requires a lot of prepara-
tion work, including setting the work coordinates (XY axis tool setting), Z-axis tool setting, workpiece
levelling (PCB processing) and so on.
Because Carvera has automatic detection and leveling functions, we have integrated these settings
and task execution into one interface.
We provide an innovative method that using “anchor points” for work coordinate setting, allowing you
to locate XY-axis positions accurately through easy configuration.
2.1. Machining area preview: Display the preview of the machining area according to the current work
coordinates and G-Code file.
L-shaped gray symbol: Anchor point position. You can choose to install the L-shaped bracket to
be located either to point 1 or point 2.
Blue Circle: Zero position of work coordinate.
Green line area: G-Code file machining range.
Green Bold line area: Indicates that Scan Margin is activated to automatically scan the area
before machining.
Red Circle: Z probe position when Auto Z Probe is selected.
Yellow Circle matrix: Levelling matrix when Auto Levelling is selected.
2.2. Set Work Origin: Set the work coordinates zero point relative to anchor points - the X/Y axis
distance relative to anchor point 1 or 2. (Only X distance is needed when performing 4-Axis machin-
ing). Please note that the work coordinate settings will take effect immediately.

1、File management and selection
Carvera’s G-Code is executed in the controller to ensure the task’s efficiency and stability and avoid
task failures caused by WiFi or USB connection instability. Therefore, the G-Code file needs to be
uploaded to the machine before running the program. We have created examples folder on the machine
and have already uploaded sample G-Code files.
1.1. Remote file management:
1.1.1. Rename: Rename files or folders in the machine.
1.1.2. Delete: Delete files or folders in the machine.
1.1.3. New Folder: Create a new folder under the current file path.
1.1.4. Upload File: Switch to local file interface for uploading.
1.1.5. Close: Close the file management interface.
1.1.6. Clear Selection: Clear the currently selected G code file.
1.1.7. Select files: Select the G-Code file to run.
1.1.8. Recent Places: Short cut for recently used directories.
