Roland EGX-20 Desktop Engraver

Easy to Operate

Roland designed the EGX-20 to be remarkably easy to operate. Thanks to its intuitive joystick and dial controls, operation is uncomplicated for both novices and experienced professionals. The joystick controls the X, Y and Z axes for smooth, accurate engraving.

 

Active Surface Tracking System

The Roland EGX-20 uses an Active Surface Tracking system to prevent scratches on the material and maintain a constant engraving depth, even on bowed or non-uniform surfaces. While most systems force you to set the origin point and cutting depth through extensive trial and error, the EGX-20 makes the process effortless. Now you can produce consistently beautiful results with less learning time and less wasted materials.

 

Materials

With its 15,000-rpm spindle, the EGX-20 is powerful enough to engrave a wide variety of popular materials, including acrylics, PVC, ABS, polycarbonate and wood. With the optional diamond scraper and burnishing attachment, you can also scribe light metals such as aluminum and brass for awards. Securing the material to the worktable is easy with the included adhesive sheet. Once you select the material to be engraved from a menu in the bundled software, the EGX-20 automatically determines optimum cutting speed and tool path, assuring smooth accurate results.

 

Software

The EGX-20 comes complete with an entire suite of engraving software. Prior to production, Virtual MODELA simulates finished shapes for previewing. Dr. Engrave uses TrueType fonts and includes an automatic layout function for importing Excel and CSV database files for fast engraving of product serial numbers and nametags. 3D Engrave enables production of 3D reliefs. Available as an add-on, EngraveLab comes with specific engraving fonts, ADA design and a variety of fill patterns. All included software is compatible with Windows® 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP.
