 | Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
  [1] |  | Z-Axis  In laser engraving and CNC machining, the Z-axis refers to the vertical axis along which the cutting or engraving tool moves relative to the workpiece. The Z-axis controls the depth of the tool penetration into the material, allowing for precise control over the depth of cuts, engravings, or machining operations. By adjusting the Z-axis position, operators can control the depth of engraving or cutting, creating varying depths of cuts or engravings on the material surface. The Z-axis movement, combined with the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) movements, enables three-dimensional machining and engraving capabilities in laser engraving and CNC systems. |
