Would love to see a bit more detail covered in the "training" video. Please extend to provide steps for setting the correct steps and saving this to the controller for each type of rotary. The easy part is plugin it in.
All great feedback!! We can definitely look to publish more step-based videos in the future. For the time being, feel free to contact our Technical Support Team for 1on1 help at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
I would like to buy a rotary and have now looked at what could fit. I saw in the description of OMtech's 4-WHEEL ROTARY that it is suitable for the following stepper drivers. DM542 and DM556 (2-phase) But this stepper driver is installed in my OMtech 60W laser DM545A Can I use this rotary?
I have you 50W laser and I purchased the cylindrical style rotary. When I was finished with the rotary, I connected my Y axis again the system does not recognize the limits and it moves extremely fast now. How do I fix this and get back to flat engraving?
I have your 80w co2 cabinet laser. I just bought the 3rd type rotary from you that you show in this video. It doesn't fit inside the machine. I lowered the Z axis all the way down and took the bed out of the machine. The laser head will hit the rotary so my question is, what is the work around? How do you make this rotary work with this machine the way it's supposed to?
yes it is possible... take the deck out, and the bottom tray from under, get 2x4s cut to width of machine and set under the feet, unscrew the feet and raise up a little more and the rotary will fit inside the hole on the bottom of the machine
I have a rotary device from another machine I want to use on my OMTECH 150w. it has a different plug so for wiring do you have any type of pinout or diagram and is there any other special configuration in lightburn I might need to change? do the steppers on the 150W machine run at 24v or 48v?
Hey Shaun, great question! Our machines utilize aviation plugs for rotary attachments. You will need to disconnect the Y axis aviation plug from the machine chassis and plug your rotary into it. It is a 4 pin plug that is wired to the driver in this configuration: 1-A+, 2-A-, 3-B-, 4-B+ You will also need to find out what lead represents which direction so you can pair them up correctly.
Hey there, great questions!! To confirm, the plug connection controls the Y-Axis. When the machine powers on, all of the motors will lock up; therefore, you cannot move the bed manually. For further assistance, feel free to reach our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
The model might be similar externally, but we build our machines with the most up-to-date parts and features. Additionally, we provide a lifetime of customer and technical support to each customer, a 2 year warranty on machines, and free shipping/lift gate service for orders. A lot of things to compare and contrast!
At 1:50 Re: "once you connect your rotary device you will not be able to move your laser up or down." Shouldn't you have said "backward and forward along the Y axis?" The Y axis does not control "up and down." That's the Z axis, and you certainly should be able to move the laser head up and down while the rotary tool is attached.
Hey there, great question! Our cabinet models like showcased in this video can engrave Rtic and Yeti tumblers. However, our machines can only engrave ones with a colored coat, not stainless steel.
@@vandieseldesigns Good question! Any metal materials can be marked by our Fiber Laser Marker machines. However, with the application of laser bond spray, it is possible to mark this material with the CO2. For more questions and advice, feel free to reach our technical support team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
Good question!! This depends on where you disengage the Y-Axis. You can place it anywhere you desire; however, the center of the bed is the most convenient.

@@omtechlaser thank you, I rather like that you guys offer a permanent license to light burn. Like who buys a nearly $10K machine and is like, na after 6 months I don't want to use it anymore, the way the subscription service on light burn's website would imply.
An indepth video on the chuck rotary would be very much appreciated. Thank You!

@@omtechlaser I'm waiting for another video showing the next steps to install in Lightburn
@@dawnbreaker84 Plenty of Lightburn videos for that.
This is all well and good, but helps me not with my 60w laser! Where do you plug it in?!
My adjustable 4 wheel won't fit in my 60w unit, too tall! Even with the tray all the way down

Did you ever get a response from them?
Is it possible to use a rotary with the K40+ and can you do tumblers with it? Thanks.
yes it is possible... take the deck out, and the bottom tray from under, get 2x4s cut to width of machine and set under the feet, unscrew the feet and raise up a little more and the rotary will fit inside the hole on the bottom of the machine
@@MrMalik918 Thanks for the reply. I skipped the K40 and ended up buying an OMtech 2028-80w. Loving it so far...

What is the best rotary attachment to use for a pint glass?
did ou mean Z axis and not Y axis on the plug connection? Are you able to lower the bed further once you disconnect the cabe?

Thanks for reaching out! To clarify, you will be detaching the Y-Axis. Therefore, you can still move the Z-Axis. We appreciate you catching this!
Good catch! I just scrapped all of my research because of his statement. Now, I can resume the rabbit hole of research on this model. :)
@@robindurangosame here
Can you also engrave Rtic and Yeti Tumblers with this machine?

@@omtechlaser awesome! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to order my engraver!
Why can’t it do stainless steel?

No explanation about settings on Lightburn, this did nothing for me.
We apologize for any inconvenience! Feel free to watch the following as well: ua-cam.com/video/bLhJWjDUDsk/v-deo.html&t
im looking to get one of these because you get alot more for the money then a glowforge.
That's a great way at looking at it!! We believe that hobbyists and small businesses should be able to engrave without breaking the bank.
So you just set it in the middle?
Good question!! This depends on where you disengage the Y-Axis. You can place it anywhere you desire; however, the center of the bed is the most convenient.
the four wheel rotary is too high for my omtech 60 watt laser.
Hey there, thanks for reaching out! Which model 60W do you own? You can check the USB number on the website's listing.
Did you ever get a reply to this question? I'm having the same problem
wish I could aford a 400 watt one
