Rotary Fixture - Universal Laser Systems X-600 Safety, Installation, Operation, And Basic Maintenance Manual

In this example our upper limit is about 20500X and the lower limit is 19000X. This translates to 20.5
inches and 19.0 inches respectively because the coordinates are in 1/1000 inch units.
We have now set up the glass to be engraved. Close all doors of the laser system, go to your
computer, and open your graphics software.
Printer Driver Settings
With your graphics software open, proceed immediately to "Printer Setup" and open the printer driver.
In the printer driver, click on the "Engraving Field" tab, is set to page orientation to "Landscape" and
the size set to the maximum field size of the laser system. In this example, we will set it to 24 x 12
inches. Then, click on the "Rotary Installed" selection box and type in the diameter of the glass that
was measured.
Notice that while typing in the diameter, the size of the height dimension changes automatically.
Remember or write down this new page size. In this example, the diameter of the glass is 3.075
inches. After typing in this number, observe that the new page height is now 9.66 inches. Click on
"OK" and go back to the graphics software's page setup and change it to EXACTLY match the new
page size that the Printer Driver established when the diameter of the object was typed in.
This new vertical page size is now
the actual circumference of the
object that is going to be engraved.
From the top of the page (on
screen) to the bottom represents
one complete revolution of the

Rotary Fixture.

For example, if
engraving a glass that has a
diameter of 3.075 inches (78.1 mm),
the driver calculates
circumference of the glass (and
vertical page size) is 9.66 inches
(245.4 mm).
Position the graphic, on screen, so that it will fit vertically within the new vertical page height
(circumference) and horizontally within the upper and lower engraving limits that we earlier
determined with the Red Diode Laser Pointer. If the graphic does not fit within the vertical page size
limits, the portion that is outside the page limit will not engrave. Remember, the new page size that
the driver calculates from the diameter of the glass is it's actual circumference. From the top of the
page down to the bottom is one complete revolution of the glass. Since the Rotary Fixture will not
turn more than 360 degrees, make sure that the graphic lies between the page limits.
You are now ready to print to the laser system. Make sure that you system is ready to engrave and
then begin the process.
Rotary Fixture Removal
Turn the laser system OFF. Unplug the fixture's power cable. Remove fixture from laser system by
lifting it off the bracket. If you plan on using your fixture daily, you might want to leave the bracket
attached to the table so that you can easily load and unload the fixture. If you seldom use the fixture,
you might want to remove the bracket from the engraving table because the bracket may interfere
with using "Autofocus". If you use "Autofocus" and leave the bracket attached to the table, the
thinnest piece of material that you can "Autofocus" on would be the thickness of the bracket because
the "Autofocus" sensor can only detect materials taller than the bracket unless the bracket is removed.
If you do not use "Autofocus", then you can leave the bracket attached to the table, it is your choice.
