How Gear Ratio Defines Cutting Distance and Scale

The Gear Ratio setting defines the relationship between motor movement and the actual distance cut by the equipment. Because this relationship determines how movement is translated into cutting distance, Gear Ratio directly affects cutting accuracy and scaling. The documented default value is 2000 for both the X-axis and Y-axis, and these core calibration settings should not be modified.

Purpose of the Gear Ratio

Gear Ratio is a core equipment calibration parameter. Its purpose is to keep motor movement and actual cutting distance correctly matched. This makes it central to the scale of a cut: the parameter determines how the equipment interprets movement along its axes in relation to the distance that is actually cut.

Because cutting accuracy and scaling depend directly on this relationship, changing the Gear Ratio can affect equipment operation. Incorrect values may cause the machine to malfunction or prevent it from operating properly.

Default Values and Scope

The documented Gear Ratio defaults apply to both movement axes covered by the setting:

These values provide the documented reference for the correct Gear Ratio settings. The same numerical value is used for each axis, but each setting corresponds to its respective direction of movement.

How to Handle the Setting

Since Gear Ratio is a core calibration parameter rather than a routine adjustment, the supported actions are limited:

• Keep the X-axis Gear Ratio at its default value of 2000.
• Keep the Y-axis Gear Ratio at its default value of 2000.
• Do not modify either Gear Ratio setting.
• Contact technical support if the default parameters need to be restored.

These actions avoid introducing incorrect Gear Ratio values that may interfere with normal equipment operation.

Adjustment and Support Limits

Gear Ratio adjustment is not covered by after-sales adjustment unless there is a quality issue. This limit reflects the setting’s role as a core calibration parameter. If restoration is required, technical support should be contacted rather than attempting to establish different values.

In practical terms, Gear Ratio should be understood as the calibration relationship between motor movement and cutting distance, with 2000 as the correct default for both axes. Keeping those defaults unchanged preserves the documented basis for cutting accuracy, scaling, and proper operation.
