The Active Surface Tracking system constantly monitors the surface of the material, and moves the cutterhead up and down to ensure an even depth of cut, even over bowed material. The benefits of this system are that non-flat materials can be engraved with ease. This makes it much simpler to engrave on jewellery items such as badges, hand-made items, control panels, toys, etc. A further benefit is that it automatically avoids the scratches that can sometimes occur on non-flat materials, as the tool moves from one part of the design to another (if care has not been taken when setting up!).

The machine is very simple to set-up and operate, and comes with basic engraving software (of course 2D Design V2 is also ideal).

The EGX-20 is ideal for schools wishing to do large amounts of engraving (such as PCB or jewellery work). It can also double up as a router/miller if required.
