2. Налаштування та встановлення

The ATOMSTACK R8 Rotary Chuck is designed for immediate use with minimal setup. It features a high-strength aluminum alloy structure that requires no complex assembly out of the box.

2.1 Початкове розміщення

Place the rotary chuck on a stable, level surface within your laser engraving machine's working area. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the object to be engraved and for the laser module to move freely.

2.2 Connecting to the Engraver

To integrate the rotary chuck with your engraving machine, simply replace the Y-axis terminal of your engraver with the rotary chuck's connection. This creates a seamless connection, allowing the engraver's software to control the rotary motion.

2.3 Adjusting Height with Foot Pads

The package includes four 100mm high foot pads. These are used to raise your laser engraving machine, ensuring proper alignment and clearance when working with the rotary chuck, especially for larger or taller objects. Position these pads securely under the corners of your engraving machine.

2.4 Конфігурація програмного забезпечення

Before operating, it is crucial to change the configuration parameters within your laser engraving software (e.g., LaserGRBL, LightBurn) to recognize and properly control the rotary chuck. Refer to your software's specific documentation for detailed instructions on rotary axis setup.

3. Інструкція з експлуатації

The ATOMSTACK R8 Rotary Chuck is designed for precise engraving on various cylindrical and irregular objects. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance.

3.1 Завантаження матеріалів

The chuck's jaws are easily adjustable without tools. Securely clamp your cylindrical object (e.g., tumblers, pens, bottles) into the chuck. Ensure the object is centered and firmly held to prevent slippage during engraving.

4. Технічне обслуговування

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ATOMSTACK R8 Rotary Chuck, regular maintenance is recommended.

• Прибирання: Periodically clean the chuck jaws and the main body of the rotary chuck to remove any dust, debris, or material residue from engraving. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or internal components.
• Огляд: Regularly inspect the moving parts, such as the chuck mechanism and rotation components, for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all screws and fasteners are secure.
• Змащення: If any moving parts feel stiff or noisy, a small amount of light machine oil can be applied to the appropriate points, taking care not to over-lubricate or get oil on electrical components.
• Зберігання: When not in use, store the rotary chuck in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
