5. Panduan Operasi
Once the MD18 Rotary Roller is set up and connected, you can begin engraving cylindrical and irregular objects. Always perform test engravings on scrap material before working on your final piece.
- Securing the Workpiece:
- Open the chuck jaws by rotating the adjustment mechanism.
- Carefully place your cylindrical or irregularly shaped object into the chuck, ensuring it is centered and held firmly by the jaws.
- Tighten the chuck jaws until the workpiece is secure and cannot rotate independently or shift during engraving.
- Adjusting Rotation Angle: The MD18 allows for an adjustable engraving angle from 0 to 30 degrees. This feature is useful for engraving tapered objects or achieving specific artistic effects. Adjust the angle using the designated mechanism on the rotary roller base.
- Focusing the Laser: Ensure the laser focus is correctly set for the surface of your workpiece. Due to the curvature of cylindrical objects, precise focusing is crucial for optimal engraving quality.
- Memulakan Ukiran:
- Load your design into the engraving software.
- Configure the engraving parameters (speed, power, passes) according to your material and desired outcome.
- Start the engraving process from your software. The MD18 Rotary Roller will automatically rotate the workpiece as the laser engraves.
