2.3 Jaws and Roller Installation
The R1 Pro comes with three sets of jaws (ladder, L-shaped, hexagonal) and a roller rotary to accommodate various object shapes. Select the appropriate jaws or roller based on the object you intend to engrave. The jaws are designed to hold objects securely.

2.4 Software Configuration (LightBurn Example)
To use the rotary module, configure your laser engraving software (e.g., LightBurn) for rotary engraving. Access the 'Rotary Setup' option in your software. You will typically need to select between 'Chuck' or 'Roller' type and input parameters such as 'mm per rotation' and 'Object Diameter' or 'Roller Diameter' for accurate engraving. Ensure 'Enable Rotary' is checked.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Engraving Cylindrical Objects
For cylindrical objects such as cans or round wooden sticks (1-130mm diameter), use the roller rotary attachment. Place the object securely on the rollers. The rollers will rotate the object as the laser engraves, ensuring a continuous and precise design around the circumference.

3.2 Engraving Special-Shaped Objects
The R1 Pro's chuck rotary with various jaws allows engraving on special-shaped objects like mugs with handles, tumblers, and other non-uniform cylinders. The 180° angle adjustment feature is particularly useful for positioning objects to access different surfaces.

3.3 Engraving Spheres and Rings
For spherical objects (4-200mm diameter) like baseballs or glass balls, and ring items (4-130mm diameter) such as rings and bracelets, the hexagonal jaws are recommended. These jaws securely hold the object, allowing the laser to engrave intricate designs on curved or small surfaces.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ATOMSTACK R1 Pro.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the jaws, rollers, and main body to remove dust, debris, and engraving residue. Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth may be used, ensuring no moisture enters electronic components.
- Lubrication: Inspect moving parts for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant if any friction or stiffness is observed.
- Inspection: Regularly check for any loose screws, worn parts, or damaged cables. Tighten loose connections and replace worn components as necessary.
- Storage: When not in use, store the rotary module in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ATOMSTACK R1 Pro, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Rotary not moving: Ensure all cables are securely connected to both the rotary module and the laser engraver. Verify that the rotary function is enabled and correctly configured in your engraving software.
- Inaccurate engraving: Check that the object is securely clamped in the jaws or properly seated on the rollers. Confirm that the object diameter and other rotary parameters are accurately entered in your software. Ensure the laser focus is correctly set.
- Jaws not gripping: Clean the jaws to remove any debris that might prevent a secure grip. Ensure the jaws are correctly installed and adjusted for the object's size.
- Software connection issues: Verify that the correct driver is installed for your laser engraver and rotary module. Restart both the engraver and your computer.
For persistent issues, consult the ATOMSTACK MAKER official website for detailed support resources or contact customer service.
