The Optional Accessories
Part 1: Camera Module
The camera module has been designed to provide real time engraving information. Part 2: Rotary Module
Setting up the roller:
- Place the roller in the designated area.
- Connect the cable to the “Roller” port on the panel and plug the other end into the roller motor.
Engraving on tapered cylinders:
For example, with popular glass tumblers, it is often best to support the narrow end of the cylinder so that the horizontal edge faces the laser. The swivel includes an end support.
When engraving with rotation, the -axis goes through its normal scanning motion, but the y-axis remains stationary while the rotation provides movement in that direction.
The spinner can hold a wide variety of round objects, from something as thin as a pencil to a 32-ounce Yeti-style glass.
It consists of a fixed axis and a moving axis that can be locked into 1 of 4 positions. The applicable diameter range for each position is marked on the left side of the turntable.
Suitable for fixed shaft switching with diameters: >89mm, 64- 89mm, 38–64 mm,19-38mm, 6-19mm, switching between different positions
[Note]
- Loosen the knobs at both ends at the same time, push the pulley to the desired position, and then lock the knobs at both ends at the same time
- When using rotary engraving vector content, we recommend engraving at a speed <800mm/min.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Type | FAQ | SOLUTION |
Machine Related Questions | What type of laser source is the machine? | It uses semiconductor lasers. |
What will happen if the machine is powered off during work? | If the power is cut off during an engraving task, the laser head will remain stationary. Upon powering on again, the machine will restart | |
Why can t the pattern be engraved properly ‘ (or the engraving is very shallow)? |
Ensure that the imported picture is clear and has adequate contrast; avoid images that are too light. Verify that the focus is correctly adjusted before engraving, and ensure that the power, speed, and number of passes are set appropriately. | |
What should I do if the pattern engraving is incomplete (or the depth is inconsistent)? | Ensure that the object being engraved is flat and that the machine is level. Follow the adjustment procedures outlined in the user manual to ensure proper setup and operation. | |
Is the working platform damaged during laser engraving? | During engraving or cutting, the laser may penetrate the object and leave marks on the work surface. It’s important to place a protective material, such as the aluminum plate provided with the machine, under the object being engraved to prevent damage to the working platform. | |
When engraving offline, why can’t engraving be started even after pressing the button on the control box? | Make sure there are engraving files in the root directory of the TF card, and the TF card is inserted. Notice: a.The machine reads the engraving file with the latest modification date in the root directory of the TF card by default. It is recommended to delete other irrelevant files in the root directory. b.The file can only be generated by LightBum software, and the compatible format is NC. If GC is generated by default, please manually modify the file suffix to NC. |
|
Machine Related Questions | Why does the machine not respond after being powered on? | a.Check whether the power plug at the machine end is inserted in place. b.Check the electrical status of the power socket. c Check whether the power switch on the machine and the magnetic door are dosed. |
Why can’t the machine connect to the computer after it is powered on? | a.Check the Driver Installation: Reinstall the driver if necessary. If the driver is already installed correctly. ensure the cable is securely connected to the machine and the original port. b.Verify Port Selection: Ensure the correct port is selected. Some computers may have multiple ports: avoid using Coml and try another comport. (On a Mac. the port number must begin with “Wchusbserial” for normal operation.) c.Close Conflicting Software: Close any other software that may be using the com port. For example. Lasergrbl and CutLabX cannot be open simultaneously when connecting. Close Lasergrbl to use the machine with Lightbum or other s oftware. Note: In Lightbum. the machine can store multiple machine information. please select the appropriate configuration information according to the model. |
|
Why can’t I use the mobile phone after the machine is powered on? | a.Please use the mobile phone according to the manual. b.If there is a connection issue due to incompatibility with a newly released mobile phone or an upgraded system. please provide a screenshot of the mobile phone configuration and contact our customer service for immediate technical support. |

Engraving/ Cutting Related Questions |
What non-transparent materials can Kiosk laser engraving machine engrave or cut? | Engraving: cardboard, wood. bamboo. rubber. leather, fabric. acrylic, painted metal. plastic. etc.; Cutting: cardboard. wood. bamboo, cloth. leather. fabric, acrylic (cannot cut clear acrylic). plastic. etc. |
Can it be engraved on curved surface materials? | Yes. but the radian of the material and the engraved graphic area should not be too large. otherwise there will be slight deformation. | |
Can it be engraved on reflectiveltransparent materials such as ceramics/glass? | Yes. but before engraving. it is necessary to coat the surface of the material with anti-reflective material (such as laser color paper. black marker pen). to ensure the engraving effect and prevent the reflected light from damaging the laser module. | |
Why is there a significant difference in the processing effect when using the same G-code file on materials of the same type but different colors? | Materials of different colors have varying optical properties. affecting how they absorb and reflect laser energy. It is advisable to adjust the power and speed settings in the software accordingly when engraving materials of the same type but different odors. | |
There is a lot of smoke and dust on the material after cutting, how to deal with it? | Please reduce the laser power appropriately and increase the speed. | |
Engraving/ Cutting Related Questions |
Why can’t the material be cut through? | 1.Ensure that the machine and engraving materials are parallel to the work surface. 2.Ensure that the protective lens of the laser module is clean. 3.Verify that the focus is correct 4.Double-check the material thickness and adjust the settings according to the recommended parameters in the provided data. 5.Consider gradually increasing the number of passes or reducing the cutting speed appropriately. |

Maintenance & Care-Laser Maintenance
To keep your Genmitsu-Kiosk in optimal working condition and reduce wear and tear, perform the following maintenance actions regularly:
Cleaning the Laser Module Lenses: The laser head has an internal air nozzle with a fixed airflow. However, Over time, particles can accumulate on the outer lens of the laser module, reducing its power output and causing the lens to heat up. If you notice decreased cutting efficiency on materials that previously cut well, it may be time to clean the lenses.
Remove the laser module from the machine by turning the knob to the right.
Gently clean the lens using a cotton swab or a rag dipped in alcohol.
