3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. If any items are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately.

3.2 Component Overview

• TTC6050 Machine Body (Aluminum Alloy)
• Spindle Assembly
• Control Unit with 3.5" Touch Screen
• Tool Probe
• Power Adapter
• Cables and Fasteners
• Optional Accessories (e.g., Laser Module, Air Cooling, Water Cooling)

3.3 Assembly

While the core machine is largely pre-assembled, some minor assembly may be required for the spindle, control unit, and any optional accessories. Refer to the quick start guide included in your package for detailed assembly steps. Ensure all connections are secure and cables are routed safely away from moving parts.

3.4 Workspace Preparation

• Place the machine on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight (approx. 31 kg).
• Ensure adequate clearance around the machine for safe operation and material handling.
• Connect the power adapter to a suitable power outlet.
• Connect the control unit to the main machine body.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Initializing

Turn on the machine using the main power switch. The 3.5" touch screen on the control unit will display the startup interface. Follow any on-screen prompts for initial calibration or homing procedures.

4.2 Material Preparation

• Secure your material (metal, wood, acrylic) firmly to the work bed using clamps or other appropriate fixtures.
• Ensure the material is flat and properly aligned within the engraving area (60x50cm).

4.3 Tool Setup and Calibration

• Install the appropriate cutting bit or laser module for your project.
• Use the included Tool Probe for precise Z-axis calibration, ensuring accurate depth control for engraving and cutting.
• Adjust spindle speed or laser power settings via the 3.5" touch screen or connected software.

4.4 Loading G-Code and Starting Operation

• Load your G-code file (generated from CAD/CAM software) onto the machine via USB or other supported methods.
• Review the job parameters on the touch screen.
• Initiate the engraving or cutting process. The machine can operate at speeds up to 5000mm/min.
• Monitor the process closely. The integrated illumination above the spindle provides clear visibility of the work area.
• The infrared sensor will help prevent accidents by detecting obstructions.

4.5 Optional Accessories

The TTC6050 supports various optional accessories to enhance its capabilities:

• Laser Engraving Module: For precise laser etching and cutting.
• Air Cooling/Water Cooling Systems: For managing heat during prolonged or high-intensity operations.
• Multiple Spindles: For specialized applications requiring different tool types.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Regular Cleaning

• After each use, clean the work bed and surrounding areas to remove dust, chips, and debris.
• The hidden design of the transmission parts minimizes debris accumulation, but regular inspection is still recommended.
• Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the spindle and tool holder.

5.2 Lubrication

Periodically apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the linear guides and ball screws to ensure smooth movement and prevent wear. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations for lubricant type and frequency.

5.3 Inspection

• Regularly inspect all cables for signs of wear or damage.
• Check that all fasteners are tight.
• Examine cutting bits and laser modules for sharpness or damage and replace as needed.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Machine Not Powering On

• Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the machine and the power outlet.
• Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Verify the power outlet is functional.

6.2 Poor Engraving/Cutting Quality

• Unstable Material: Ensure the material is firmly secured to the work bed.
• Worn Tool: Replace dull or damaged cutting bits/laser modules.
• Incorrect Settings: Adjust spindle speed, feed rate, or laser power according to the material and desired outcome.
• Calibration Issues: Re-calibrate the Z-axis using the Tool Probe.

6.3 Machine Stops Mid-Operation

• Safety Sensor Triggered: Check if the infrared sensor detected an obstruction. Clear the path and restart the operation.
• Software Error: Check the control unit's touch screen for error messages. Restart the machine and software if necessary.
• Overheating: If using optional cooling systems, ensure they are functioning correctly. Allow the machine to cool down.

7. Specifications

8. User Tips

• Start Simple: Begin with less complex projects and softer materials (like wood or acrylic) to familiarize yourself with the machine's operation before moving to harder materials or intricate designs.
• Material Securement: Always ensure your material is rigidly clamped. Any movement during operation can lead to inaccurate results or damage to the workpiece/tool.
• Software Proficiency: Invest time in learning your CAD/CAM software. Understanding tool paths, feed rates, and depths of cut is crucial for optimal results.
• Regular Calibration: Even with a tool probe, periodically double-check your Z-axis zero point, especially for projects requiring high precision.
• Dust Management: While the hidden transmission parts help, consider additional dust collection solutions for cleaner operation and extended machine life.
