DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. X-Axis Leadscrew - The screw that drives the left to right motion of the machine.

2. X-Axis Linear Rails - The 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) round rails that the carriage assembly rides on.

3. Y-Axis Linear Rails - The 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) round rails that the t-slot table rides on.

4. Y-Axis Leadscrew - The screw that drives the front to back motion of the machine.

5. T-Slot Table - Also referred to as the work surface, this aluminum bed supported by the Y-Axis

linear rails, allows placement of the engraving material or special clamps and fixtures. The slots in the

table are shaped with an upside-down T, with the bottom of the T being a single-line slot across the top

of the table. The slots are used to hold various accessory holders, clamps, and fixtures.

6. Front Panel - This is the area in which you control the table movement. You can start, stop, pause,

cancel a job and set the spindle surface. Also, you can control the speed at which the table moves and

the spindle RPM.

7. Quick Lock Vise - This is the clamp assembly that is included with the Vision VE810 engraving

system. It allows you to lock your material on the T-Slot table.

8. Table Home Position - The upper-left corner of the T-Slot table. All work is referenced from this

position.

9. Spindle - This is the part where the engraving cutters are inserted and adjusted for depth of cut.
