Ray5 Series — Offline Engraving Using TF Card

This guide explains how to perform offline engraving on the Ray5 series laser engravers using a TF card. Users can save GCode files to the TF card and perform standalone engraving through the control box without connecting to a computer. This tutorial applies to different Ray5 models, although interface layouts are different between old and new models.

1. Prepare Engraving File

First, save the engraving file in GCode format (.gc or .nc) to the TF card.
Users can design patterns using LightBurn and export the GCode file directly to the TF card.

2. Start Offline Engraving

Insert the TF card into the Ray5 control box and press File to access the TF card file list, then select the imported GCode file.

Enter the engraving preparation interface and click Frame to verify the engraving boundary.

After confirming the working area, press Start Engraving to begin engraving.

Note: Interface layouts are different between old and new models.

3. Model Version Differences

Old Version Ray5 (no air pump interface above the touchscreen)

New Version Ray5 (air pump interface located above the touchscreen)

Conclusion

The Ray5 series supports standalone engraving through TF card offline mode. Properly preparing GCode files and confirming the engraving boundary before starting helps achieve stable and reliable engraving results.
