4. Setup Instructions

The ATOMSTACK Swift features a modular design for quick assembly. Follow these steps for initial setup:

4.1 Unboxing and Component Layout

Carefully open the packaging and lay out all components on a clean, flat surface. Refer to the included quick start guide for a visual representation of all parts.

Video 4.1: This video demonstrates the unboxing and assembly process of the ATOMSTACK Swift laser engraver. It shows how to lay out the components and connect them to form the main frame.

4.2 Frame Assembly

Connect Assemblies: Place the five main frame assemblies as shown in the video. Ensure the X-axis assembly has the belt facing downward and the Y-axis assembly with the motor is on the left side. Align and connect these assemblies.
Secure Screws: Secure the connected assemblies with six M5x8 screws using the provided tool.
Install Optical Shaft: Insert the optical shaft onto the X-axis assembly. Push the X-axis toward the front X-axis assembly, ensuring it is fully inserted and aligned parallel.
Tighten Coupling and Timing Pulley: Tighten the coupling and the timing pulley on the optical shaft.

Figure 4.2: The modular design of the ATOMSTACK Swift allows for quick assembly, typically within 5 minutes.

4.3 Laser Module Installation and Cable Connections

Install Laser Module: Carefully install the laser module onto the X-axis carriage and tighten the thumb screw to secure it.
Batanidza Cables: Connect the motor cable, limit switch cables, and the laser module cable to their respective ports. Ensure all connections are secure.

4.4 Focus Adjustment

Proper focus is crucial for optimal engraving and cutting results.

Place Workpiece: Place your material (workpiece) on the engraving area.
Gadzirisa Focus: Turn the side knob on the laser module to adjust the focus. The goal is to achieve the smallest possible laser spot on the material surface.
Optical Shaft Clearance: If the hand-tightened screw interferes with the optical shaft, pull out the black part, rotate it outward, and then release it to ensure proper clearance.

4.5 X-axis Adjustment

To ensure smooth movement of the X-axis, adjust the eccentric nut:

Use an open-end wrench to adjust the eccentric nut until the X-axis can slide down smoothly when the machine is tilted at a 45-degree angle. This ensures there is no excessive play or binding in the movement.

5.3 Zvishandiso Zvinotsigirwa

The Swift 12W can engrave over 200 different materials and cut various types of wood and acrylic. Exampzvimwe zvinosanganisira:

Engraving: Wood, leather, coated metal, acrylic, paper, cardboard, stainless steel, food, fabric, rubber, glass (requires blackening), ceramic (requires blackening).
Kucheka: 4mm black acrylic (one pass), 8mm basswood plywood (one pass), wood, leather.

Note: For engraving reflective objects such as metal, glass, or ceramic, it is recommended to first blacken the surface to create a layer absorbable by the diode laser, which will achieve better engraving results. For cutting, it is only suitable for wooden materials, black acrylic, and leather. Do not cut hard materials such as metal, ceramic, and glass.
