7、 disk into the CD-ROM, or insert a pin drive with this printing system into the USB port of the computer, select the installation pack, decompressing the file and install it. In this presses, press the Next Step button i

8、s OK. </p><p>　　USB pin drive installation: after the installation, click the start menu program --- Wuxi Kuntai intellectual marking and printing system—USB driver install, till the installation finished, n

9、ot other operations will needed. </p><p>　　ONE: Main Interface</p><p>　　Double-click the desktop [ThorX6] icon(switch on the controller power before you open the software), </p><p>

10、;　　"ThorX6 industrial engraving marking Control System" (ThorX6) is beginning, wait a few seconds to complete the system starts, and then appeared the ThorX6 main interface, as the following figure:</p>

11、<p>　　is the main button for “file” operation, click this button will open the File menu, file menu contains all the operations functions, such as file open, save the file and so on.</p><p>　　ThorX6 fun

12、ction panel toggle button, click on a appropriate text features switchable ThorX6 panel.</p><p>　　TWO: operation</p><p>　　2.1 Quick Start</p><p>　　In this section, we will briefly i

13、ntroduce how to quickly create a text mark and a serial number mark; we are first going to align the needle positions for these two markings on the final work piece of engraving.</p><p>　　Click the [add mark

14、] button on the function panel, and select a Mark type which you want to establish in the type list, for example, we choose the [text], click the mouse left button after the mouse move to software’s middle blank area whi

15、ch is under the mark editing , then a [text] mark is established by default parameters. As the following figure:</p><p>　　Note, that the [mark] function panel now, [marking] group has already shown the mark’

16、s parameters which related to the mark we established before, as the following figure:</p><p>　　These parameters depend on the type of mark, that means if you select different mark type, the parameters will

17、be also different, now [Mark] function panel displays is the [text] type mark’s parameters which we just create, these parameters include the maker’s location, content, fonts, etc... So far the [text] has been

18、successfully established.Now we create another mark with the same method, but we will establish a "serial number" mark. In the [Add mark], select [text] in the marker type list, </p><p>　　The

19、se parameters depends on code types, that meaning if you choose a different coder types, the parameters are also different. Now the [serial number] coder’s parameters are displayed. So far, this marker with [se

20、rial number] coder has been successfully established. In the marker editor area, you create a marker might look like this, as the following figure:</p><p>　　May be the location of the mark you created i

21、s different from my example, it does not matter, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the last mark you established, every time you press on the arrow key, the mark’s location will move 1mm to the way

22、 you want. In the moving process, you can notice that marking needle, it will move according with "12345" location’s changes, this is a main function of the software. Every time you change the mark's l

23、ocation, marking needle will automatica</p><p>　　Similarly, when you drag a marker to new location, engraving needle will be automatically aligned to the new location.</p><p>　　Move two marks t

24、o the right place, and then we can try to mark this two markers on your work piece, marking operation is very simple, click [marking] ,and then click [Start engraving] can be, or just directly Press shortcut key [F9

25、] to start marking, now marking machine start to work, then the marking machine will mark these two marks on your work piece, wait marking finished, you will find the contents of the serial number has already been change

26、d as the following figure:</p><p>　　The Serial number will change from "12345" to "12346", and this is the function of serial number coding, each one of serial number marking will be aut

27、omatically accumulated one number after the marking is finished, if you do not change the parameters of Serial number, it will be a accumulated "1."So far, we have a preliminary understanding how to use the m

28、arking software; more function will be described in the following chapters.</p><p>　　2.2 Operation of the fileClick the main file operation button of the ThorX6, the menu of the document will pop up as the

29、following fig.</p><p>　　Establish a new file: create a new file, if an under-editing file is not being saved, it will remind the user to saving the file.</p><p>　　Open: To open a file, egg. The

30、following fig:</p><p>　　To “Open” the window will list out all the awaiting marking files of the corresponding folders in the computer. Select one of them and clip the “Open” in this window or to press the “

31、Enter” key directly, then the file is being opened, after open, the file name will displayed in the title bar of the ThorX6 window.</p><p>　　C. Save: To Save a current file to the computer, as showing in th

32、e following fig.:</p><p>　　The "Save" window will list all the awaiting print documents in the corresponding folders of the computer, input a file name in the “file name” column, then clip “Save” b

33、utton in the window or to press [Enter] key directly, the file will be saved.</p><p>　　Note: the function of the saving can only be carried out when the contents of a file is being modified, it means th

34、at to save a newly established file or a newly opened file is means nothing.</p><p>　　D. Save as: to save the current file with another name. The operation is the same as above [Save].E. Most

35、 recently used files: In this list it will display several recently used files, click one of them it will be able to quickly open a file.</p><p>　　2.3 Create and editing of a mark2.3.1 Create a text markTh

36、en content of a text mark could be composed by English characters, numerical numbers, symbols or Chinese characters, and also may contains of related data of fonts. The mark inscription software contains two kinds of tex

37、t marks, one is a standard (Text) mark, the other is (fan shaped text)“curved or radius text”, the only deference of this two text is the way of arrangements, the basic parameters mostly are the same, the standard text m

38、</p><p>　　Note: once the type of a mark is being selected, it will not be changed anymore. </p><p>　　Since the establishing way of both the [text] and [fan shaped text] are basically the same, s

39、o here we will introduce their using method all together.</p><p>　　After the text type of mark being selected in the list of marking type, the related parameters will display in the “marking” panel, this has

40、 been introduced before in the 2.1 Quick Start section, here we will brief the functions of the parameters one by one. </p><p>　　Content: As the name suggests, here you can change the marking text.</p>

41、<p>　　X, Y, Z: these three parameters used to specify the tag positions in the engraving area.</p><p>　　This position can be varied according to the type of the tag text. Standard [text] marking posit

42、ion is to indicate the position of the lower left corner of the engraving tag, whilst the [fan the text] standard position is means of the center arrangement of the radius of the characters. Here be ware of the “Z”, this

43、 “Z” position can only be enabled when after the Z-axis lifting movements feature are activated. When your marking machine has possessed a lifting function, the Z position now can be s</p><p>　　c. Angle: thi

44、s is a designated angle that rotates around the X and Y axis, to the [fan-shaped text], this angle means the start and ending angle of the arrangement of the fan shaped characters. </p><p>　　d. English

45、Font: Font name of the used English words, numerical numbers, symbols.</p><p>　　e. Chinese font: fonts of Chinese characters that used in tag contents. Note, after you input a Chinese content, this char

46、acter must have to select a Chinese character font, otherwise, the newly created marks will not be normally displayed or to lead an invalid marking. </p><p>　　f. Height and width of the characters: This is t

47、he dimension of the marking contents. Here to be attention, the height and width of the character can not absolutely determine the size of the characters, which can only be a reference of dimension. The actual character

48、size will determine finally by deferent fonts in characters. For example, when a character width is setting as 5mm, the width of numerical number “1” are normally can not reach 5mm, also along with the change of shape of

49、 the charact</p><p>　　"ISOCP.TEF “’numerical character “1” is slightly wider than the font of "STENCIL.TEF". See the following figure:</p><p>　　g. Word spacing: tag the conte

50、nt distance between characters and character.h. Radius (fan version): fan outside the radius of inscribed circle.</p><p>　　i. Character direction (fan version): this is to determine when character are

51、arranged in fan-shape manners, that the top end of the curve is facing to the center of the circle or is being in reversed direction, different facing will result as followings:</p><p>　　Character facing ou

52、tside facing inward</p><p>　　2.3.2 Encoding of classified text marking </p><p>　　Only word class marks can be properly defined [mark code], to define a code for a non-word type marks meaning

53、less.[Mark code] will determine the character changes in the character class marking after each engraving is finished. For example, a word class marking code with “serial number” will automatically adding a numerical val

54、ue of “1” after each of the engraving completed. </p><p>　　Code of the marking can be selected by the press button [code] on the [marking] panel</p><p>　　Word class marking has many codes can be

55、 selected, below will display one by one:</p><p>　　a. The non-coding: namely this is means the content of this marks does not required of a change after each of the engraving. </p><p>　　b. 

56、Serial number: Normally the "serial number" formed by a serial numbers, or at least the end of the content is a numerical character, if it is not, the content will not be printed, because the contents does not

57、match the "serial number" encoding format. the word class marks that has a "serial number" code, Have "serial number" code of word class tag in each engraving will be conducted after the

58、 completion of numerical computation, the results of operations by the "serial number" parameter </p><p>　　And the role of the various parameters are as follows:a. Total cell number: total ce

59、ll number indicated that ruler.b. Each grid length: that between the ruler where the width of each small cell, mm units.c. Each grid values: Note that "per grid value" and "per grid length,&quo

60、t; which is different from the concept of "lattice width," said the ruler where the actual width of each small cell, and the "cell value" is that each small grid ruler li represented by the value

61、, usually this value is set to</p><p>　　k. Digital Font: Set the ruler on the numeric characters in the font.l. Font Location: numerical characters from the marked distance.m. Characters wid

62、e, high character, word spacing: These parameters are the same as with the word class tags; see the word class tag instructions.n. Character point of view: Numerical character rotation angle.o. Show figures s

63、howing the number of cells: the decision whether to display a ruler on the character values.</p><p>　　2.3.5 The establishment of bypass pointsPlane in the vicinity of certain parts of the engraving may be,

64、there are some obstacles, these obstacles in the engraving process may hinder the operation of engraving needle track, then we need to find ways to make engraving needle during operation to bypass these obstacles.Markin

65、g control software can be set in the engraving controlled areas "detour point", so as to achieve the purpose of bypassing the obstacle. "Detour point" means that the engraving</p><p>

66、;　　Create a bypass point is simple, in the tag type list, select the [bypass point], then this points to the need to bypass the location of moving can be, as shown below:</p><p>　　Now when engraving began, e

67、ngraving needles will be shown by the arrow direction, first went to "detour point", and then walk to the engraving flat, thus bypassing the obstruction.</p><p>　　2.3.6 Mark editing and needle alig

68、nment </p><p>　　Regarding of determining the marking position, except the method of using direction key and the mouse that introduced in the chapter of view operation, there are another [Alignment] feature a

69、vailable in ThorX6 as followings and which has many methods of alignment can be choose</p><p>　　a. Center of a circle / starting point: Take the center point of the circle or a starting point as a base

70、point to align, this method of alignment normally used to align the center of two fan-shaped Markup point.b. Left edge: Take the left-most mark edges as a base point to align, to make the left edge of the other obj

71、ect aligned together.c. Right edge align: Take the right-most mark edges as a base point to align, to make the right edge of the other object aligned together.d. Top edge alignm</p><p>　　e. 

72、lower end edge alignment: Take the lower-most edges of the objects as a base point to align, and make the lower edge of the other object aligned with it.</p><p>　　f. Horizontally: to align several numbe

73、rs of marks onto a same horizontal center line.</p><p>　　g. Vertical center: to align several numbers of marks onto a same vertical center line.</p><p>　　h. Combination line: combine m

74、ultiple marks onto one line. By using this function, it will be required to input a spacing dimension between the two marks.As we have repeatedly mentioned earlier, each time you change the marking position, engraving n

75、eedles will automatically aligned to the new location of the marks. This is the automatic needle alignment feature of the engraving control software, to be noted, is that needle align feature is only effective to si

76、ngle mark, that is, when you move m</p><p>　　. Click on the menu [mark], [needle align] can open the [needle alignment] feature sub-menu, [needle alignment] feature has a variety of ways as follows:a.&

77、#160;The lower left corner: aiming the marking needle at the lower left corner of the mark</p><p>　　b. The lower right corner: aiming the marking needle at the lower right corner of the mark</p>

78、<p>　　c. The upper left corner: aiming the marking needle at the upper left corner of the markd. The upper right corner: aiming the marking needle at the upper right corner of the mark</p><p>

79、;　　e. Center of a circle / starting point: aiming the marking needle to the center of the circle or a starting point, this method normally used for marking a fan shaped text to take the center of the circle as a bas

80、e point.f. Stop of needle: after the function is selected, when moving of the marks, this needles will then not be able to aligned again, unless to re align the needle position.</p><p>　　When you selected a

81、 way of needle alignment, the next time when you move the mark, needle will follow the way you chosen to do the alignment, for example, when you select the lower right corner of needle alignment, then every time you move

82、 the mark , needles will start from the lower right corner to align the mark, rather than the lower left corner that default is supposed.2.4 Marking operation and its setting:2.4.1 marking sequence [Marking] ope

83、ration panel contains all the functionality re</p><p>　　in some cases, this is no problem, but if we think this order is not reasonable, and needs an adjustment, then click the menu [marking] and [marking o

84、rder] to open the marking order adjustment window, as per shown here:</p><p>　　In this Marking order adjusting window, the list is in order according to the present marking contents as wheel as its location,

85、 choose one of them and then click "Move Up" or "Move Down" could change its marking order. A simplest approach is to click on "Automatic sorting" button, marking control software will

86、automatically start from the top to bottom, left to right to reordering it, which is the most commonly used sorting method.2.6.2 Set Marking "Marking speed" refers to the engraving need</p><p>　　

87、Beside, in case you have not open the setting window of the marking machine, it can directly use the key of "+","-" to set up marking speed, every time press the "+","-" button, th

88、e marking speed will increase or decrease, if to press and hold the [Shift] key, every time press the "+","-", it will increase or decrease in marking speed of 10.Because the needle marking process

89、is initiated by high-pressure gas control, proper operation with the high-pressure gas can avoid "missing marking" and "</p><p>　　Normal missing marking smearing</p><p>　　when

90、 starting of marking a consecutive touch of a characters, the high air pressure is being opened, thus to drive the marking needle punching and marking on parts with a high frequency, but du to the air refilling for the p

91、ressure needs a bit of time, if within this period the needle is already started marking, but the high pressure is not arriving, there may emerged a missing marking phenomenon, for avoiding this situation, it after the h

92、igh pressure air switch is open, let the needle stay for</p><p>　　after each successive strokes of the character is finish, high-pressure gas source will be closed, but due to the inflated high-pressure gas

93、pipeline may have some residue gas which is not released, if by now the needle starts to move, then this residue pressure may drive the needle in high-frequency and punching on the parts to make a smearing., In orde

94、r to avoid such situations arise, after the closure of the high-pressure gas source, let the marking needle stop for a short period of time, so</p><p>　　"time delay on needle up" and "and nee

95、dle down" is fairly simple to set, directly input a time delay parameter into the text box at the right corner is OK. </p><p>　　If your marking machine installed with a pneumatic clamps, you can set a t

96、ime delay for the fixture, to make it have enough time for clamping the parts and moving the parts to a marking position after the marking start button is being pressed down. This time delay we called it clamping time de

97、lay</p><p>　　Because marking machine is mechanical devices, so after repeatedly marking, minor deviations may occurred, if such errors does not be corrected, it will accumulate the mistake and eventually it

98、will leading larger deviation, Therefore, an automatic reset function is designed for correct such errors. The number of marking time and the complexity of marking will determine the times of auto-reset, normal

99、ly, by each 200 marking or so on an automatically reset is needed. This parameter we call "reset</p><p>　　2.6.3 Marking OperationStart engraving: immediately start the marking process.The marks s

100、elect only for engraving: which only engraving the marks choose from the picture. Automatic consecutive marking: which is an appointed timing to automatic engraving the marks. Reset: to reset the engraving needle to the

101、original mechanical point.</p><p>　　2.4.4 Isotype number comparisons during the engraving. </p><p>　　The control software of the marking machine has possessed a comparison function between the

102、isotype numbers for serial number and VIN code numbers, after each time when a normal marking is completed, the software will record the marked serial number or the VIN number contents, every time when the client wants t
