5.1. പ്രാരംഭ പ്ലേസ്മെന്റ്

Place the R8 Rotating Chuck on a stable, level surface within your laser engraver's working area. Use the mini level meter to ensure the chuck is perfectly horizontal for accurate engraving.

5.2. Connecting to Your Machine

The R8 Rotating Chuck supports dual wiring modes for broad compatibility:

1. USB കേബിൾ കണക്ഷൻ: For newer ATOMSTACK machines and models with auto-recognition functionality, connect the chuck to your laser engraver via the provided USB cable. This connection automatically initiates the roller processing mode in your machine's software.
2. Motor Cable Connection: For older frame models or certain other brands that lack auto-recognition, use the provided motor connection cable. This ensures compatibility and proper function.

5.3. Attaching the Tailstock Support Bracket

For longer or heavier objects, attach the tailstock support bracket to provide additional stability. Adjust its position along the chuck body to securely support the object.

5.4. Selecting and Installing Jaws/Pins

Choose the appropriate jaws (L-shaped, Ladder, Hexagonal) or threaded cylindrical pins based on the shape and size of the object you intend to engrave. Install them securely onto the chuck body using the provided screw kit and hex wrench.

6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

6.1. Securing the Object

Carefully place the object into the chuck, ensuring it is centered and held firmly by the jaws or pins. Use the caliper to measure the object's diameter and input these dimensions into your engraving software.

6.2. Adjusting Angle and Position

Utilize the 30° elevation and 180° horizontal rotation features to achieve the desired engraving angle. This is particularly useful for objects with complex geometries or for engraving multiple sides without repositioning the object in the chuck.

6.3. സോഫ്റ്റ്‌വെയർ കോൺഫിഗറേഷൻ

Once the R8 is connected and the object is secured, configure your laser engraving software (e.g., LightBurn, LaserGRBL) for rotary engraving. Input the object's dimensions and select the appropriate rotary axis settings. Refer to your software's manual for specific rotary setup instructions.

6.4. കൊത്തുപണി ആരംഭിക്കുന്നു

Perform a test run or frame the engraving area to ensure correct alignment. Once satisfied, initiate the engraving process from your software.

7. പരിപാലനം

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Regularly clean the chuck body and jaws to remove dust, debris, and engraving residue. Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring all parts are thoroughly dried afterward.
• ലൂബ്രിക്കേഷൻ: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the moving parts of the chuck, such as the rotation mechanism and jaw slides, to ensure smooth operation.
• പരിശോധന: Before each use, inspect the jaws, pins, and cables for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• സംഭരണം: When not in use, store the R8 Rotating Chuck in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

8.1. Chuck Not Rotating

• Ensure the power cable and motor connection cable (if applicable) are securely connected to both the chuck and the laser engraver.
• Verify that the correct rotary settings are selected in your engraving software.
• ഭ്രമണത്തെ തടയുന്ന എന്തെങ്കിലും തടസ്സങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടോയെന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കുക.

8.2. Engraving Distortion

• വസ്തു സുരക്ഷിതമായി cl ആണെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.amped and not slipping during engraving.
• Verify that the chuck is level using the mini level meter.
• Double-check the object's diameter and other rotary settings in your software.
• Reduce engraving speed if the object is lightweight or prone to vibration.

8.3. Chuck Not Recognized by Software

• For USB connection, ensure the USB cable is properly connected and your computer's drivers are up to date.
• For motor cable connection, ensure the correct cable is used for your machine model (refer to compatibility list).
• Restart your laser engraver and computer/software.

9 ഉപയോക്തൃ നുറുങ്ങുകൾ

• Pre-measure Carefully: Always use the provided caliper and soft measuring tape to accurately measure your object's dimensions before inputting them into the software. Precision here is key to avoiding distorted engravings.
• Test Engrave: Before committing to a final design on a valuable item, perform a small test engraving on a similar scrap material to fine-tune settings and ensure proper alignment.
• ചെറിയ ഇനങ്ങൾ സുരക്ഷിതമാക്കുക: For very small or delicate items, ensure the jaws are tightened just enough to hold the item without causing damage. Over-tightening can deform the object or the chuck.
