Figure 3.2: The S9 and rotary roller are designed for plug-and-play functionality, simplifying setup.

Connect the rotary roller's adapter cable to the X-axis or Y-axis stepper motor wiring of the laser engraving machine. No additional software settings are required for the rotary roller as its surface rotation speed is precisely designed to match the original Y-axis speed.

Power and USB Connection

Connect the power adapter and USB cable to the machine and your computer.

Software Installation

Install your preferred engraving software (e.g., LightBurn, Laser GRBL) on your Windows or Mac computer.

4. Operating Instructions

Material Preparation

Figure 4.1: The rotary roller provides a larger engraving space for various cylindrical objects.

Figure 4.2: The rotary roller features a sliding adjustment for quick and easy distance setting.

Figure 4.3: Key advantages of the SCULPFUN Rotary Roller for cylindrical engraving.

Place the material to be engraved or cut on the working surface. For flat materials, use the protective steel pad to prevent damage to your table. For cylindrical objects, position them securely on the rotary roller.

Focus Adjustment

The S9 features a fixed-focus lens. To adjust focus, slide the laser module along its rail and tighten the screws until the laser beam is optimally focused on the material surface. This ensures a precise 0.08mm ultra-fine laser spot.

Software Operation

Figure 4.5: The S9 is compatible with popular laser engraving software like Laser GRBL and LightBurn.

Figure 4.6: The S9's engraving area can be expanded for larger projects.

Figure 4.7: A wide range of materials and objects can be engraved, including pens, cups, flowerpots, and rings.

Open your chosen engraving software (e.g., LightBurn, Laser GRBL). Import your design file (KPG, BMP, NC, G-code, SVG, DXF, PNG formats are supported). Adjust engraving parameters such as power, speed, and passes according to the material type and desired effect. For rotary engraving, ensure the software settings are configured for cylindrical objects, though the S9 rotary roller is designed for plug-and-play speed matching.

Safety Precautions

• Always wear the provided anti-laser goggles when the machine is operating.
• The laser filter on the S9 can block 98% of UV rays, allowing for observation without goggles, but wearing them is highly recommended for maximum safety.
• Ensure the emergency stop switch is easily accessible during operation.
• Keep pets and children away from the operating machine.
• Operate in a well-ventilated area to dissipate fumes from engraving.
