3.1 Vybalení a kontrola
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the product specifications are present and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately.
3.2 Connecting to Your Engraver
The R6 Rotary Roller connects to your laser engraver via the Y-axis terminal. Disconnect the existing Y-axis motor cable from your engraver and connect the R6 Rotary Roller's cable to this terminal. This allows the engraver's software to control the rotary motion.

3.3 Adjusting Roller Spacing
The spacing between the rotating axes is adjustable to accommodate objects of different sizes. This adjustment can be performed without the need for additional tools. Simply slide the movable roller assembly to the desired position to securely hold your object.

3.4 Using Raised Footpads
For certain laser engraver models, such as the ATOMSTACK P1 and K2, the engraver may need to be elevated to provide sufficient clearance for the R6 Rotary Roller and the object being engraved. Use the four included 100mm raised footpads by attaching them to the base of your engraver.
3.5 Konfigurace softwaru
Before operating the rotary roller, it is crucial to modify the configuration parameters within your laser engraving software (e.g., LaserGRBL, LightBurn). Refer to your software's documentation for specific instructions on enabling and configuring rotary axis engraving. The USB connection may automatically prompt the software to enter roller processing mode.

4.1 Placing the Object
Carefully place the cylindrical or irregular object onto the R6 Rotary Roller. Ensure the object is centered and securely held by the rollers. Adjust the roller spacing as needed to prevent slippage during engraving.
4.2 Engraving Regular Cylinders
For objects like cans, tumblers, or pencils, ensure they are placed horizontally and stable on the rollers. The software will translate linear engraving paths into rotary motion.

4.3 Engraving Irregular Cylindrical Objects
The R6 Rotary Roller is capable of handling irregular shapes such as wine bottles, cups with handles, or spherical items. Position these objects carefully, utilizing the 180° adjustment angle and 360° rotation capability to achieve the desired engraving area.

4.4 Engraving Long Items
The exclusive extended support design allows for the processing of extra-long items, up to 1 meter in length, provided their weight is within the bearable range of the roller.

4.5 Initiating Engraving
Once the object is securely placed and the software is configured, follow your laser engraver's standard operating procedures to start the engraving process. Monitor the engraving to ensure proper rotation and laser alignment.
5. Údržba
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ATOMSTACK R6 Laser Rotary Roller, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Čištění: Regularly clean the rollers and the base of the unit to remove dust, debris, and engraving residue. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
- Mazání: Periodically check the moving parts for smooth operation. If any friction is observed, apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the bearings or sliding mechanisms.
- Skladování: When not in use, store the rotary roller in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Řešení problémů
If you encounter issues with your R6 Rotary Roller, consider the following:
- Prokluzování objektu: Ensure the object is firmly seated and the roller spacing is correctly adjusted for its diameter. The object's surface should be clean and free of oils or debris that could reduce grip.
- No Rotation: Verify that the rotary roller is correctly connected to the engraver's Y-axis terminal. Check software settings to confirm that rotary engraving mode is enabled and configured properly. Ensure all cables are securely connected.
- Inaccurate Engraving: Confirm that the object is stable and not moving during engraving. Check software settings for correct object diameter and rotation parameters. Ensure the laser engraver itself is calibrated and functioning correctly.
- Engraver Clearance Issues: If the engraver head collides with the object or the rotary roller, ensure the raised footpads are installed on your engraver if necessary.
For persistent issues, refer to the support section below.
