1. Connect the conveyor to xTool F2 Ultra
Follow the instructions in the xTool Auto Streamline™ Conveyor User Guide to install and connect the conveyor.
2. Connect xTool F2 Ultra to xTool Studio
Refer to Connect and Set Up xTool F2 Ultra with xTool Studio for instructions on connecting xTool F2 Ultra to xTool Studio.
3. Process with xTool Studio
1. Select the processing mode and material
(1) In the right panel of the page, click the name of the current processing mode, and then select Same design - batch processing as the processing mode.
(2) Click Unknown Material, select a desired material, and click Apply.
Note:
- After you select a material from the material list, the software will automatically set parameters for laser processing. Default settings are available for xTool materials. You can adjust the settings as required.
- The recommended parameter settings can achieve the best results only when using xTool's materials. If you are using materials from third parties, it is recommended that you conduct a material test array on your own first to obtain the desired effects and parameters. Meanwhile, make sure that the materials are free from moisture or contamination, which may greatly affect the results.
2. Place the material and perform laser focusing
(1) Place the material in the processing area, ensuring that the blue light spot falls on the surface of the material.
Note: Do not use thin materials permeable to light (such as paper and cloth) on the conveyor. Laser beams falling on the belt will damage it.
(2) Hold down on the Up/Down button to lift or lower the laser module. When the red and blue light spots overlap, the focus is successfully set.
Note:
- The blue light spot does not move. If the laser module moves up, the red light spot moves towards the left. If the laser module moves down, the red light spot moves towards the right.
- xTool F2 Ultra supports auto-focus and manual-focus. Here we use manual-focus. For more information on how to use auto-focus, see Perform Laser Focusing.
3. Shoot background and design processing objects
(1) In the floating window, click Refresh background.
Note:
- To ensure positioning accuracy, set the laser focus before shooting the background.
- Ensure that the background photo clearly and fully displays the material. You can optimize the shooting environment by adjusting the device's fill light or pulling down the protective enclosure.
- If the materials in the photo have obvious shadows or are not clear, adjust the material position and click Refresh background again to take a new photo.
(2) Use the tools on the left of the canvas to create objects within the material.
(3) After selecting the objects, use the tools above the canvas for further editing.
For more information on how to use xTool Studio to design objects, see Software Learning Center.
4. Set the processing parameters and processing path
(1) Select objects on the canvas. On the right panel of the page, set parameters for the selected objects.
Note:
- The conveyor does not support laser cutting.
- If you have selected a material name, the software will apply the default settings for the material. The default settings apply best to xTool materials. You can adjust the settings based on your needs.
- For more information about the processing parameters, see Processing Parameters for xTool F2 Ultra (Single-Laser Model) or Processing Parameters for xTool F2 Ultra (Dual-Laser Model).
(2) In the bottom-right corner, click the icon to set the processing path.
(3) Turn on or off the Evade smoke mode. When this feature is enabled, the device follows a path less affected by the smoke to process the material.
Note: It is recommended to enable this feature for scoring on materials such as wood and corrugated paper that produce heavy smoke. Otherwise, the heavy smoke may block the laser beams and interfere laser processing.
(4) Select all the objects on the canvas, and click Next in the Design a processing object floating window.
5. Frame out the sample material
The first material placed in the processing area is used as the sample material. During batch processing, xTool Studio will fill the other materials based on the sample. Framing out the sample material helps improve batch filling accuracy.
(1) In the pop-up window, move or resize the bounding box to include the sample material inside it.
(2) Place other identical materials in or to the right of the processing area. Ensure that they do not touch or overlap with each other.
(3) Turn on or off Same-direction Processing as needed. Then, click Process.
Note: Same-direction Processing is mainly used for double-sided engraving scenarios. When engraving both sides of a material, enabling this feature helps ensure that the engraving patterns maintain a consistent orientation on both sides.
If Same Direction Processing is enabled,
1. After completing the engraving on the first side, place the material for the second-side engraving in the same orientation as the first side as much as possible.
2. The orientation deviation between the first and second placement should not exceed 45°. Larger deviations may affect pattern alignment and lead to inconsistent engraving results.
(4) Wait for xTool Studio to fill the designs on the materials.
6. Start processing
(1) In the bottom, click Preview Processing Path to check the processing path.
(2) Pull down the protective enclosure until it remains no more than 5 mm above the materials.
(3) Wear a pair of goggles that can shield laser beams of 445 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths.
Safety goggles are not included with xTool F2 Ultra or the conveyor. Please purchase them separately.
Safety Reminder: When xTool F2 Ultra is used with a conveyor, its protective enclosure cannot be fully closed. For your safety, it is recommended that you wear goggles during processing.
(4) In the bottom-right corner of the software, click Start.
(5) Press the XTOOL Start/Stop button on the touchscreen controller to start processing.
(6) During processing, keep adding new materials to the conveyor. Place them to the right of the processing area.
Note:
- When placing materials, keep your hand away from the processing area to avoid injuries.
- Do not place a material close to the edges. Otherwise, the material may fail to be processed.
- Ensure that the materials do not touch or overlap with each other.
7. Stop processing
- Auto-stop: If no material is detected for 5 consecutive times, the batch processing will be automatically ended.
- Manual-stop: Click Cancel in xTool Studio or double press the XTOOL Start/Stop button on the touchscreen controller.
