  • Patent number: 10796210
    Abstract: A plotter includes a mounting portion, a first movement mechanism, a second movement mechanism, a processor, and a memory. The mounting portion is configured to mount with a pen containing a liquid. The first movement mechanism is configured to relatively move the mounting portion and a workpiece in a movement direction. The second movement mechanism configured to relatively move the mounting portion and the workpiece in a direction intersecting the movement direction. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes. The processes include acquiring plot data, acquiring information relating to a remaining amount of the liquid of the pen, setting a relative movement speed of the mounting portion and the workpiece, and controlling the first movement mechanism and the second movement mechanism at the set movement speed, and performing drawing on the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20190168533
    Abstract: A plotter includes a mounting portion, a first movement mechanism, a second movement mechanism, a processor, and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes. The processes include identifying a contour of a pattern to be processed on the workpiece, generating plot data instructing drawing positions of a drawing line representing the contour and a fill line, and controlling the first movement mechanism and the second movement mechanism on the basis of the generated plot data, relatively moving the mounting portion and the workpiece, and drawing the drawing line and the fill line on the workpiece using a pen mounted on the mounting portion. The fill line is a line to fill, using the pen, an offset area offset by a first predetermined amount to an inward side of the contour from the drawing line.
