4. Instruccions de funcionament
This section details the operational aspects of the Rotary Module for CNC carving and laser engraving.
4.1 Software Setup (Snapmaker Luban)
The Snapmaker Luban software is essential for preparing and executing 4-axis projects. Ensure you have the latest version installed.
- Launch Snapmaker Luban and select the 4-axis CNC or Rotary Laser engraving workspace.
- Import your 3D model (e.g., STL files) into the software.
- Configure the project settings, including material type, toolpaths, and rotation parameters. Luban supports advanced 4-axis linkage, allowing simultaneous movement of X, Y, Z, and B axes.
- Generate the G-code and transfer it to your Snapmaker 2.0 machine.

4.2 Loading Workpieces
Securely mount your workpiece onto the Rotary Module's 3-jaw chuck and tailstock.
- Open the jaws of the 3-jaw chuck and insert one end of your cylindrical workpiece.
- Tighten the chuck jaws to firmly grip the workpiece.
- Adjust the tailstock to support the other end of the workpiece, ensuring it is centered and stable. The tailstock center holds objects securely in place.
- Verify that the workpiece is level and securely held before starting any operation.
