3. Configuració i instal·lació
The IKIER R1 Pro is designed for straightforward setup. Follow these steps to prepare your rotary set for use.
3.1 Elevating Your Laser Engraver (If Needed)
For engraving larger or taller objects, you may need to raise your laser engraver. Use the provided heightened feet by screwing them into the existing leg mounts of your laser engraver. These risers are designed to stack, allowing for adjustable height.
3.2 Connecting the Rotary Unit
- Identify the appropriate connection cable: use the white-tipped cable for IKIER and ATOMSTACK machines, and the black-tipped cable for most other brands.
- Connect one end of the cable to the rotary unit (either the chuck or roller). The cable port is conveniently located on the side of the unit to prevent cable damage when the unit is placed upright.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the designated rotary port on your laser engraver.

3.3 Chuck Rotary Setup
- Select the appropriate jaws (Ladder, L-shaped, or Hexagonal) based on the object you intend to engrave. The jaws are easily attached using the provided screws and Allen keys.
- Insert the object into the chuck jaws and tighten securely. Ensure the object is centered and stable.
- Adjust the angle of the chuck unit if necessary. The unit supports up to 180° angle adjustment for engraving tapered or irregularly shaped items.

Figure 5: Shows the 180° angle adjustment feature of the chuck rotary, allowing for engraving on angled surfaces.
3.4 Roller Rotary Setup
- Place the roller unit on a stable surface.
- Adjust the distance between the rollers using the adjustment screws on the underside of the unit to fit the diameter of your cylindrical object (5mm to 114mm).
- Place the cylindrical object (e.g., tumbler, bottle) onto the rollers.
- If engraving irregularly shaped cylindrical objects (e.g., wine glasses with stems), use the support column assembly to provide stability and ensure the object remains level during rotation.
- Adjust the belt tension if necessary using the designated screw on the motor side of the roller unit to ensure smooth rotation.

4. Instruccions de funcionament
Once the IKIER R1 Pro is set up with your laser engraver, follow these general operating guidelines:
- Configuració del programari: Open your preferred laser engraving software (e.g., LaserGRBL, LightBurn). Ensure the software recognizes the rotary axis. Refer to your laser engraver's software manual for specific rotary settings.
- Object Measurement: Use the provided caliper and soft ruler to accurately measure the dimensions of your object. Input these measurements into your software for precise scaling and positioning of your design.
- Nivell: Use the mini level meter to ensure your object is perfectly level on the rotary unit. This is crucial for consistent engraving results, especially on curved surfaces.
- Ajust del focus: Adjust the laser focus according to the object's surface. Proper focus is essential for achieving sharp and clear engravings.
- Gravat de prova: Before final engraving, perform a low-power test run on a similar material or an inconspicuous area of your object to verify settings and alignment.
- Engraving Process: Start the engraving process from your software. Monitor the process closely.

5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your IKIER R1 Pro rotary set.
- Neteja: Regularly clean the rollers, jaws, and main body of the rotary unit to remove dust, debris, and engraving residue. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubricació: Periodically check moving parts for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to gears and bearings if necessary, as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Tensió del cinturó: Ensure the drive belt on the roller unit maintains proper tension. Adjust using the tension screw if it becomes loose to prevent slippage and ensure accurate rotation.
- Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the rotary set in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your IKIER R1 Pro, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Issue: Rotary unit not rotating or rotating erratically.
- Check cable connections: Ensure both ends of the connection cable are securely plugged into the rotary unit and the laser engraver.
- Verify software settings: Confirm that the rotary axis is enabled and configured correctly in your laser engraving software.
- Adjust belt tension (for roller unit): If the belt is too loose, it may slip. Tighten the tension screw on the roller unit.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no debris is blocking the movement of the rollers or chuck jaws.
- Issue: Engraving is distorted or uneven.
- Ensure object is level: Use the mini level meter to confirm the object is perfectly horizontal on the rotary.
- Secure object: Make sure the object is firmly clamped in the chuck or stable on the rollers. Any movement during engraving will cause distortion.
- Check laser focus: Improper focus can lead to blurry or uneven engraving. Re-adjust the laser focus.
- Verify software dimensions: Double-check that the object's dimensions entered into the software match the actual measurements.
- Issue: Laser engraver not recognizing the rotary unit.
- Correct cable usage: Ensure you are using the correct cable (white-tipped for IKIER/ATOMSTACK, black-tipped for others).
- Restart software/machine: Sometimes a simple restart of the engraving software and/or the laser engraver can resolve connectivity issues.
- Consult laser engraver manual: Refer to your specific laser engraver's manual for detailed instructions on connecting and enabling rotary attachments.
