Epilog’s Enhanced Standard Features for Engraving and Cutting.Optics Standard FeaturesComprehensive Standard FeaturesAt Epilog, we don’t believe that you should have to buy a lot ofRed DotPointerextras to have a fully functional laser system. With that in mind,we have developed all of our laser lines to include the mostcomprehensive standard package available. Standard features onall systems include Air Assist, Auto Focus, Red Dot Pointer, IntegratedVector Grid/Vacuum Hold-Down Table, and much more. Explore theCarriageAssemblymany features that make Epilog laser systems the most complete inthe industry.Air AssistEpilog provides Air Assist capability as a standard feature on allsystems. The Air Assist Tube is incorporated into all systems with anoptional Air Assist Cone also available for the Legend EXT model line.Air Assist is most commonly used in vector cutting applications, toremove heat and combustible gases from the cutting surface. Bydirecting a constant stream of compressed air across the cuttingAuto FocusAir AssistTubesurface, the possibility of flaming, scorching and charring is reducedwhen cutting materials such as wood, acrylic and rubber. All systemscan be connected to a standard compressed air supply (30 psimax) or the optional stand-alone compressor offered by Epilog.The Air Assist Cone is available on the Legend EXT for thoseapplications where it is desirable to force compressed air directlydownward into the cutting area to reduce heat, charring andscorching when vector-cutting thick materials.Auto FocusTo achieve optimum image and edge quality, the laser beamis focused to its smallest possible spot size at the point where itCarriageAssemblycontacts the material. Focusing the laser beam is simply a matterRed DotPointerof moving the table up and down to ensure the work piece is thecorrect distance from the carriage assembly. Standard on all Epilogsystems, Auto Focus uses magnetic plunger technology to preciselyposition the table automatically with every job. It’s the simplest,most convenient method available of ensuring proper focus. And,unlike other focusing technologies, Epilog’s Auto Focus works onany solid surface, including glass and acrylic. As an added, bonusour Auto Focus technology is fully compatible with Epilog’s optionalAuto FocusRotary Attachment!Red Dot PointerThe red dot pointer provides a visible red laser beam that is ahelpful tool for providing a visible means of determining theengraving or cutting location within the engraving table on odd-Air AssistTubeshaped items.

Epilog Motion Control SystemLinear EncoderThe Precision of the Accupoint Motion Control SystemFiring the laser in the right place at the right time is the concept behind Epilog’s Accupoint Motion Control Technology. While it’s easy to see theextraordinary detail in our engraving at any resolution, the engineering behind our equipment is what makes this accuracy possible. At 1200 DPI,the entire motion control system is moving in increments as small as .0008 inches (.02 mm), which is the result of a special blend of high-qualitycomponents available only in an Epilog laser system.In moving the laser beam from point to point, a motion control system utilizes three basic components:1)Motors to move the system in both the X and Y axes.2)A bearing system to move the head consistently across the axes.3)A linear encoder timing system to make sure the systemis always where it needs to be.Accupoint LinearEncoder AssemblyAccupoint LinearEncoder StripsSignalReceiverSignalTransmitterAccuPoint Linear EncodersEpilog is the only laser system manufacturer to incorporate linear encoders in each and every model we manufacture. Long used in industrialmanufacturing as one of the most precise methods of determining position, linear encoders also provide critical timing information thatsynchronizes the motion control system to the firing of the laser. Mounted directly to the moving carriage, Epilog’s linear encoders provide crisp,clean images, even at the highest speeds!Servo MotorsDC Servo MotorBrushless DC ServoMotorServo MotorsAnother industry standard for high-performance industrial systems are closed-loop DC servo and Brushless DC servo motors. Incorporated into theX and Y axes of every system we manufacture, these motors are known for their incredibly fast acceleration and deceleration times as well astheir ability to operate without the cogging, seen in other, less accurate motors. The ability of a motor to move smoothly at high speeds is a keycomponent in producing the stunning images that can be created with an Epilog laser.

The laser emits optical energy in the form of an invisibleinfrared beam that may be used for engraving, marking or cuttingon a variety of materials.There is a large difference in the beam created by different lasertubes. Oval-shaped beams, inconsistent power stability, and slowswitching rates all contribute to images that are not as crisp andclean as images produced by an Epilog system with Waveguidelaser technology. The Waveguide laser tubes used in Epilog’s lasersystems produce the best beam quality in the industry. With higherCO2 gas pressure, less stringent mirror alignment requirements,faster switching rates and smaller bore, Epilog’s Waveguide lasersprovide the highest quality engraving and cutting available.Laser Tube Technology

Epilog’s Beam Enhancing Radiance OpticsRadiance Optics TechnologyWhile Epilog’s Accupoint motion control system addresses the mechanical aspect of our systems, our Waveguide Laser Technology andRadiance High Energy Optics work together to produce the sharpest laser beam in the industry for the most detailed engraving and cuttingavailable.Guided Path of Laser Beam1. Beam Expander/CollimatorStartAfter the beam leaves thetube it passes through a setof two optical componentsthat straighten and expandthe beam. This set of opticsdramatically reduces beamdivergence and produces abeam that maintains its sizeand straightness for muchlonger distances, which inturn produces a much moreuniform beam over theentire work area.2. Beam Combiner3. Beam Focusing OpticsThe last step in Epilog’senhanced Radianceapproach is the focusingof the laser beam to a tinycircular point .The beam combiner mergesthe laser beam from thetube with the Red Dot Pointer(mounted above).FinishAt this point the enhanced laser beamwill travel to the focus lens where it isfocused to the ideal spot size.While the laser tube is the source of the laser beam, it’s not the only technology that is involved in producing a crisp, sharp laser beam. After thelaser beam leaves the tube, we use additional optical components to shape and refine the laser beam before it is delivered to the work surface.We refer to these optics as our Radiance High Energy Optics package and they have revolutionized the detail that can now be achieved with aCO2 laser system.There are four significant advantages that our Radiance technology provides over ordinary beam delivery optical systems:1. A rounder spot: A spot that is as close to circular as possible produces laser characteristics that are the same in both the X and Y directions,providing crisper, more consistent engraving and cutting profiles.2. More uniform spot over the entire work area: Because all CO2 laser beams diverge after they leave the laser tube, the beamcan actually change shape from one end of the work table to the other. Epilog’s Radiance technology produces the most uniform spot in theindustry and is incorporated as standard equipment on the Mini 24, Helix and Legend 36EXT.3. Smaller spot size: A smaller spot means you can produce finer detail in engraving and cutting applications. Just look at the detail in some ofour samples. It is truly amazing!4. Higher power density: When a laser beam is focused to a smaller spot, its power density goes up because you have the same amount ofpower in a smaller area. This helps produce a deeper, darker mark and is beneficial in virtually every engraving and cutting application.

Epilog’s Integrated Vector Grid and Vacuum TableEngraving Table Airflow DesignEpilog’s patent-pending work table is a lot more than a flat surface to support your engraving material. It’s a three part table that’s full of uniquefeatures designed specifically for the engraving market.Vacuum Hold-down TableVector GridThe vacuum hold-down table uses the air from your exhaust fan toRemove the task plate, and Epilog’s integrated vector grid is nowhold thin sheet stock flat.
