Etching Machine Photodrafter
The Photodrafter is a very easy to use machine for engraving images on granite.
Every user, even not very technologically efficient, can handle it without any problems.
​
Its light and compact design makes it very easy to transport.
The etching machine weighs only 10-14 kg depending on the size.
​
The engraver comes with the necessary software to install a previously prepared grayscale photo or inscription.
​
The engraving process itself is fully automatic.
For very large projects, you can divide the work into stages, you can stop engraving by pausing or turning off the power overnight and resume work the next day from the last point. The controller has a memory. It is also a big advantage when we run out of electricity in our workshop.
The image prepared for engraving is loaded into a small controller via an SD card.
The control of engraving machine has numerous useful functions built in, such as:
​
• Possibility to resume work from the last point in the case of a power outage
• Possibility to change the impact force of the needle during work
• Possibility to start engraving from 9 different positions on slab (upper left or right corner, middle left or right side, lower left or right corner, central point)
• Possibility of engraving on all shapes (oval, square, heart, etc.)
• Possibility to make much bigger image than working field
• The ability to repeat etching on the same image in case of insufficient depth
• Ability to check the contours of the image on the stone before starting the engraving
• Choice of engraving resolution in DPI 85 or 127
