Part 1：List of items
The pack of the Rotary Roller Engraving Module comes with the following items:
Part 2：Meet the Rotary Roller Engraving Module
This additional attachment is placed inside of the Laserbox Rotary to support the
cylindrical objects to be engraved. It consists of the following parts:

Part 3：Installing the Engraving Module in the Laserbox Rotary
1. Before you begin, make sure the device is turned off. Open the lid of the device,
remove the two screws in front of the honeycomb plate and remove the tray.
2. Remove the screws on both sides of the honeycomb plate and take out the
honeycomb plate.

3. Remove the six screws on the back of the tray and remove the plate.
4. Put the tray back into the Laserbox Rotary.

5. Put the Rotary Roller Engraving Module on the position as shown in the image
below, close to the green line (the green line is only for reference; it is not marked
on the Laserbox Rotary).
Attention:
Aligning the engraving module in the right position guarantees that the vertical
axis of the cylinder is parallel to the vertical axis of the engraving operation.

6. Plug the cable of the Engraving Module into the aviation connector of the
Laserbox Rotary and tighten the nut. Keep the connection cable as close to the
bottom as possible to prevent laser damage to the cable.
Attention:
The pack contains 2 connection cables. For the Laserbox Rotary, please use the
connection cable shown in the figure below. The remaining cable serves to
connect the Engraving Module to a different device.
7. Turn on the Laserbox Rotary, open the Laserbox software and connect the
device.

8. The software detects the Rotary Roller Engraving Module and automatically
enters into cylinder engraving mode.
9. Measure the diameter of the cylinder to be engraved and change the movable
roller to the corresponding position. For instructions on how to change the
position of the movable roller, please read “Part 4: Adjusting the position of the
movable roller of the Engraving Module” of this user guide.

Attention:
Laserbox Rotary can only engrave cylinders with a diameter between 3 to 70
millimeters.
10. When the object's diameter is less than 30mm, The Rotary Roller Engraving
Module needs to be raised to reach the focus range of the laser. For example, if
the diameter of the cylinder is 17mm, a flat object with a thickness of at least
13mm needs to be placed below the Rotary Roller Engraving Module.
Padding minimum thickness = 30-17mm = 13mm
If an object with a thickness of exactly 13mm cannot be found, an object with a
thickness greater than 13mm can be used as the padding object. For instance, if
the thickness of the object is 16mm, then 16mm will be filled in the z-axis offset on
the Laserbox software.

Attention:
If the surface of the engraved cylinder is very smooth, such as glass, you can put a
strip of masking tape (easy-to-tear, grainy stickers) around the top and bottom of
the cylinder to prevent it from slipping and misaligning while rotating.

11. After entering the engraving mode, the software will automatically show a
yellow line at the axis position of the cylinder, which indicates the starting position
where the engraving operation will begin. If the position of the yellow line is not
on the axis of the object to be engraved, drag the yellow line to the axis of the
object.
