ADVANCED SYSTEM OPERATION
Section 9-16
Rotary
This option is available for most models. Please refer to the Accessories section of this manual
on how to install and use the Rotary Fixture.
Diameter
The diameter of the cylindrical object being engraved will be entered in this field.
Rotation Factor
If you have purchased the optional Rotary fixture, you may need to calibrate your fixture if
your application requires you to engrave or cut completely around the cylinder precisely 360
degrees. Only use this option if you completely understand and have used the Rotary Fixture
in the past. If you are familiar with the operation of the Rotary Fixture and as an application
you create a vector line or raster graphic that extends from the top of the page (in your
graphic software) all the way to the bottom of the page, you should expect that the Rotary
Fixture would rotate a full 360 degrees. If the fixture comes up short or long by a few
degrees, you can compensate for this in the driver. If your application comes up short,
increase the number past 1.0000 as much as you need to and run your sample again. If your
application rotates past 360 degrees, then decrease the number of degrees below 1.0000 to
get the ends to line up. You can calculate the exact number (refer to the Vector Scaling
technique on the previous page) but it may be difficult to measure circumference.
