GRAVOTECH
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GRAVOTECH from 3G Electric.
What is the marking area of the Gravotech M20 rotary engraving machine?
The Gravotech M20 rotary engraving machine has a marking area of 4 inches in width and 4 inches in length, with a maximum workpiece height of 4 inches. It is configured as a cutter for marking and engraving applications. The M20 is part of a series that includes the M20, M20 v3, and M20 X models. A table-mounted laser accessory (MPN 70997) is available to add laser engraving capability to these models. When specifying the M20, confirm the exact model variant and part number, as configurations may differ.
What accessories are available for the Gravotech IS400 rotary engraving machine?
For the Gravotech IS400, available accessories include a quarter-round cutter with a collet spindle configuration (MPN 34288) for creating precise quarter-round profiles, a cylindrical attachment (MPN 47770) for engraving curved surfaces such as bottles and tubes, a T-slot table (MPN 23520) for clamping and positioning workpieces, and a laser accessory that includes a Gravogrip support table (MPN 61999) to assist in holding materials. These items are identified by manufacturer part numbers and are designed specifically for the IS400. Verify compatibility with your machine's configuration before ordering.
What is the function of the air assist compressor for the Gravotech Ls100?
The air assist compressor (MPN 47191) supplies compressed air to the laser cutting process on the Gravotech Ls100 laser engraving and cutting machine. The compressed air clears debris from the cutting area and cools the material during operation. This helps maintain cut quality and reduces the risk of material burning or melting. The compressor is an OEM-branded accessory designed for the Ls100. It is a replacement or spare component for maintenance and repair. Confirm the part number and machine model when ordering.
What materials can the Gravotech 40 W laser engraving and cutting machine process?
The Gravotech 40 W laser engraving and cutting machine (MPN 66643G) is suitable for engraving and cutting materials such as wood, acrylic, and leather. It features a 40 W laser output and a honeycomb table, and is designed for Y-axis operation. The honeycomb table supports the material during cutting and allows debris to fall away. This machine is used in applications requiring precise cutting and engraving of non-metallic materials. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for exact material compatibility and thickness limits.
How do I identify the correct Gravotech replacement part for my machine?
Gravotech parts are identified by manufacturer part numbers (MPNs). For example, the laser accessory for M20 series machines is MPN 70997, the quarter-round cutter for the IS400 is MPN 34288, and the air assist compressor for the Ls100 is MPN 47191. When ordering, provide the machine model (such as M20, M20 v3, M20 X, IS400, or Ls100) and the MPN. 3G Electric lists these part numbers to help match components to specific machines. If the MPN is not known, consult the machine's parts list or manual.
What is the difference between Gravotech rotary engraving machines and laser engraving machines?
Gravotech rotary engraving machines, such as the IS400 and M20 series, use a rotating cutter to mechanically remove material from the workpiece surface. They are typically used for engraving flat and cylindrical parts, and can be equipped with accessories like cylindrical attachments and T-slot tables. Gravotech laser engraving machines, such as the Ls100 and the 40 W model, use a focused laser beam to engrave or cut materials. Laser systems are often used for finer detail and for cutting thin materials like wood, acrylic, and leather. Some rotary machines can accept a laser accessory to add laser capability.
