4.5.1

Installing a Rotary Attachment

1. If the material is too thick, remove the honeycomb bed, aluminum knife bed and the support bar
of the blade.
2. Place your rotary axis in an open area.
3. Put the material and adjust the position using the rotary axis' knobs.
4. Check the height of the workbed is appropriate. If the material is on the workbed, lower the
workbed to provide room for the laser head to pass over your axis and material as needed.
5. Connect the rotary axis cord to the rotary
port at the back of the main bay.

4.5.2 Engraving Procedures with a Rotary Attachment

In typical workflows, designs are created by using graphic files on a control computer, and then
transferred to the engraver for execution. Here are the main operation steps:
1. Prepare your engraved material according to the instructions in
on Page 50.
2. Turn on the switch of your rotary attachment. The rotation of the rotary attachment will be
controlled by the engraver's Y axis settings.
3. Follow instructions in
for the rest of the engraving process. Remember to set Distance per Pulse and other rotation
parameters in the software.
