Rotary Attachments
Frequently Asked Questions
Rotary attachments for laser engravers, markers, or cutters are devices that enable cylindrical objects to be engraved, marked, or cut with a laser. They allow the laser engraving, marking, or cutting machine to rotate the object being processed, while the laser moves horizontally across the surface of the object. This allows for precise and consistent engraving, marking or cutting on curved surfaces, such as bottles, glasses, or pens.
A rotary attachment typically consists of a chuck or clamp to secure the workpiece being engraved (marked or cut), and a motor that rotates the workpiece. Some rotary attachments also have adjustable rollers to accommodate objects of different sizes and shapes. The attachment is connected to the laser engraving machine and controlled through software that is designed to work with rotary attachments.
There are multiple reasons for using a rotary attachment. Firstly, using a rotary attachment for laser engraving, marking, or cutting allows for greater flexibility and versatility in the types of workpieces that can be processed. Secondly, it enables higher precision and consistency in engraving, marking, or cutting on curved surfaces compared to traditional methods, such as screen printing or pad printing.
Rotary attachments are commonly used in industries such as promotional product manufacturing, giftware production, and industrial marking. They can also be used in scientific applications as well as industrial applications in semiconductor manufacturing or medical devices.
Generally, rotary attachments have a roller or chuck configuration, or a combo. Depending on the needs of your application, you will need to decide which one is a better fit. Also, some rotary attachments are designed for use with CO2 lasers while others are supposed to be used with fiber lasers.
Well, there is a wide price range depending on the range of workpiece dimensions supported, workpiece weight, etc. Typically, rotary attachments cost $200 but can be considerably more.
