Step 1

Step 1 Required components:

Installation Manual:

  1.  Find the four large profiles in the picture above, place the four profiles as shown, and pay attention to the direction of the profiles.
  2. Tighten the M5 screw in the shaft, and judge whether you have installed it correctly through the enlarged view details.

Nota:
a. Place the screws, but do not tighten them.
b. Then tighten the screws diagonally.
c. Tools required, M5 Allen key+M5 screws.

Step2


The guide rail passes through the middle of the 3 rollers. Loosen the distance between the upper and lower guide wheels appropriately.

Step2 Required components:

Installation Manual:

  1. Push the X-axis component into the base frame in the direction shown in the figure. Adjust the eccentric nut appropriately.
  2. Install the control box as shown.
  3. Use an M5 Allen key to install 3 Support gasket.

Step3


Step3 Required components:

Installation Manual:

  1. Install two synchronous belts as shown in the figure. First tighten one end with a T-nut, then pass the other end through the roller on the X-axis assembly as shown in the figure, and finally tighten the other end and fix it with a T-nut.
  2. T-nut fixing method (Push the T-nut from the groove on the end of the profile, and then use the screw to tighten the T-nut), the T-nut is as close to the end of the profile as possible, and cut off the excess belt.
  3. Cover the profile end cover (the side of the end cap with protrusions is facing down)

TIPS:
The installation of the Y-axis synchronous belt can refer to the installed synchronous belt on the X-axis assembly.Determine whether the timing belt is tight enough: press the position shown in Figure 4 with your fingers, and if there is no obvious deformation, it is tight enough. If the deformation is large, loosen one end of the T-nut and tighten the timing belt, and then tighten the T-nut.

Step4

Step 4 Required components:

Installation Manual:

  1. Fix the laser head on the slider board with M5*8 countersunk head screws. The screws must be tightened.
  2. Insert the green protective covers on the left and right sides.
  3. Insert the front green protective cover.
  4. Fix the front protective cover with M5*14 flat round head screws.

Step5

Step5 Required components:

Installation Manual:

  1. As shown in the figure, fix the Y-axis limit column with M3*14 screws on the left slide rail.
  2. Adjust the eccentric nut to ensure that the Xaxis and Y-axis move smoothly without shaking.

TIPS:
How to determine the tightness of eccentric nuts? Under the condition of ensuring that the bracket does not shake, you can lift one end of the machine to an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal plane, and release the X-axis or Y-axis bracket from a high place. If the bracket can slide at a constant speed to the end, the tightness is suitable.

Step6 Installation of terminal blocks and cable bundle


Installation Manual:

  1. Insert the three wire terminals as shown
  2. As shown in the figure, tie the machine fixing hole and the cable bundle with a cable tie to prevent the wire terminal from loosening.

    Question

    Is this the correct manual for the Atomstack A5 40W laser engraver?

    Answer

    Yes, this is the correct manual for your device. The ATOMSTACK A5 Pro (often referred to as the 40W model due to its machine power consumption) shares the same installation and assembly process as the standard A5. The manual provided on this page is specifically titled for the ATOMSTACK A5 / A5 Pro Laser Engraver series.

    The manual covers the 6-step installation process, including:

    • Step 1: Base frame assembly.
    • Step 2: X-axis and control box installation.
    • Step 3: Synchronous belt tensioning.
    • Step 4: Laser head attachment and protective cover installation.
    • Step 5: Y-axis limit column and eccentric nut adjustment.
    • Step 6: Wiring and cable management.

    If you have the 40W version, these assembly steps are identical. For further technical support, you can contact the manufacturer at support@atomstack3d.com.

  2. Hello God!
    Today I lasered with Atomstack A5 pro. The laser started the task, completed about half, then stopped and couldn’t start or continue. Did the laser diode break? Please help me, if necessary send me a replacement right away.
    Grüß Sie Gott!
    Habe heute gelasert mit Atomstack A5 pro. Die Aufgabe hat der Laser begonnen, ca die Hälfte durchgeführt, dann ist er stehengeblieben und nicht mehr zu starten oder weitermachen gewesen. Ist da die Laserdiode kaputt gegangen? Bitte geben Sie mir Hilfestellung, ggf. senden Sie mir gleich einen Ersatz dafür.

    Question

    Why did my Atomstack A5 Pro stop mid-task and fail to restart? Is the laser diode broken?

    Answer

    If your Atomstack A5 Pro stops mid-task and cannot be restarted, it does not necessarily mean the laser diode is broken. Please check the following troubleshooting steps based on the manual and official support guidelines:

    • Check Cable Connections: Ensure all three wire terminals are securely inserted and that the cable bundle is tied correctly to prevent loosening during movement (see Step 6 of the manual).
    • Inspect the Synchronous Belts: If the belts are too loose or too tight, the motor may stall. Verify the tension as described in Step 3; there should be no obvious deformation when pressed with a finger.
    • Adjust Eccentric Nuts: If the X or Y axis is binding, the machine may stop. Adjust the eccentric nuts so the brackets move smoothly without shaking (see Step 5).
    • Software/Connection: Ensure your computer did not enter sleep mode and that the USB connection remained stable throughout the task.

    Because Manuals+ is a repository for product manuals and is not the manufacturer, we cannot send replacement parts directly. For warranty claims or technical service, you should contact AtomStack official support at support@atomstack3d.com or visit their website at www.atomstack3d.com.

    Note: The manufacturer offers a 12-month warranty for such issues.

  3. Can I just say these are the worst set of instructions that I have taken 2 days to try to figure out? Videos are basic and nothing and I do mean nothing (i.e the manual) is detailed. If I lift the machine at a 45-degree angle neither the x-axis nor the y-axis moves at all. So now what? Don’t tell me to take the T-nut off and adjust the belt that you told me to cut because that’s not about to happen. All the belts are good and tight. Yet I keep getting this grinding noise when the laser moves around. Those green protective covers that are supposed to go around the laser are not in my package so I’m assuming they are the metal pieces that came already attached. I tried to complete a burn and wouldn’t you know it, nothing and I do mean not so much as a scorch mark. Where are the instructions on how to perform a test? Why aren’t all the instructions together why do I have to hunt this stuff down? Why can’t I even find a YouTube video that completely explains this because the ones that I see explain only the basics. I’m frustrated and ready to pack it up and send it back. I am a beginner and I knew absolutely nothing about this, but I refuse to give up so that means you’re about to start receiving phone calls which I really don’t want to do. If I ever get it right, I might go back and do a how to video because some of us need just a little more help than others.

    Question

    How do I troubleshoot axis movement issues, grinding noises, and a lack of laser output on the ATOMSTACK A5 Pro? Also, where are the green protective covers and test instructions?

    Answer

    It sounds like you are encountering several common setup hurdles with the ATOMSTACK A5 Pro. Based on the manual, here is guidance for your specific issues:

    • Axis Movement & Grinding: If the axes do not move when tilted at 45 degrees or make a grinding noise, the eccentric nuts are likely too tight. Refer to Step 5 of the manual. Use the provided wrench to turn the eccentric nuts (located on the rollers) until the bracket can slide smoothly at a constant speed when the machine is tilted. Grinding often occurs when the motors are struggling against over-tightened rollers or misaligned frames.
    • Green Protective Covers: According to Step 4, there should be three green acrylic pieces (one front, two sides). If these are missing and you only have metal pieces, please contact support@atomstack3d.com as these are critical for eye safety.
    • No Laser Output (Scorch Marks): Ensure all three wire terminals are securely connected as shown in Step 6. If the laser moves but doesn't burn, check that the laser is focused correctly according to your software (LaserGRBL or LightBurn) settings.
    • Performing a Test: The installation manual focuses on assembly. For operational tests, you must download laser control software. AtomStack typically recommends LaserGRBL (free) or LightBurn (paid). You can find detailed software guides and material settings on the official website at www.atomstack3d.com.

    If the hardware remains unresponsive, you can reach technical support directly at support@atomstack3d.com.
