To help eliminate visible gaps between slices, you can tell LightBurn to overlap them - specifying an overlap of zero means that each slice is run on its own. If your object is tapered, irregularly shaped, or not perfectly aligned with the rotary axis, using a small split size can help reduce gaps or misalignment of the splits.Ī larger split size will reduce the time spent running the job, but can be harder to dial in the settings such that no overlaps or gaps are visible. The size of each slice is called the 'Split Size'. Galvo markers will run a portion of the job (a slice), rotate the object, run another slice, and so on. If the rotary unit or orientation are changed though, performing Rotary Setup again is a good practice. The values listed above, minus object diameter/radius, should only need to be set up once.

If you don't know the correct numbers, the 'Test' button in LightBurn will run a single 360 degree movement of the chuck or roller, pause, and return to zero, using the current settings, so it is possible to find usable values by trial and error. In most cases, the steps/rotation and other values will be provided by the manufacturer of your machine, either as a screenshot of the rotary params page in EZCAD or a text document.

You may need to enable the 'Reverse Rotary Direction' switch if the output is backwards or sliced in the wrong order.

(If the roller is along the horizontal axis, choose X, if it's along the vertical axis, choose Y)

Choose whether you are rotating around the X or Y axis.

Set the Return speed value (this value is how fast to move when returning to the starting point).

Set the Acceleration time (the time to ramp the speed from Min to Max speed).

Set the Min and Max speeds to move the rotary, in pulses per second.

(it should rotate a full 360 degrees, pause, then rotate back to the starting point). Set the 'Steps per Rotation' value to the number of motor steps required to spin the rotary itself one complete rotation when the 'Test' button is pressed.First choose whether you have a chuck or roller style rotary.When rotating about the Y axis, you'll want to engrave along the Y axis (with a resultant scan angle of 90 or 270). When rotating about the X axis, you'll want to engrave along the X axis (with a resultant scan angle of 0 or 180).
