Rotary and axes limits

Hello,
I’m brand not so new lightburn user.
I just bought a small galvo scan Raycus 20w based with à 110x110mm lens.
I have a perfectly well tuned and functionnal rotary chuck installed on Y axis .
But something burriyng me when I mount a 70mm thumbler I potentially have a 219.911 mm circumference on Y axis against the limited 110 from my lens,

My question is, is there any way to override my 110 Y limit by the circumference when using a rotary ?

Thanks for your lights :slight_smile:

If you have a cor file for it, then I think work area is grayed out…

Mine came with the factory setup and I can change the work area size… haven’t tried it, but the numbers are not grayed out…

These are in the Device Settings… device-setting-wrench-sm

Let us know what you find…

Hello,
thank you for answer :slight_smile: sometime thing are so evident … I was able to modify my machine params in chord with the circumference. And i’m now able to engrave the whole 360° surface !
Maybe Lightbrun Devs should integer an automatic dimension upgrade ?

Thanks for all !

A better explanation would be appreciated…

Others may have this problem and your answer is rather abstract, rather than one with more detail of what/how you achieved success…


Glad it’s up…

Ok you are right :slight_smile:

So for à focal lens @ 110x110 I was limited to the machine surface even rotary activated. For a 70 tumbler i have 219.911 mm circumference that is less than 110 on Y axis, so for cheat my surface limits i where in the machine params and i modify the 110mm Y axis by the tumbler cirumference. So i could profit the whole 360° tumbler surface to engrave it.
With hope i’m clear with my poor english.
Thanks :slight_smile:

What I suggested in the first post…

When I use a cor file, these number are grayed out, so I can’t change them… wonder what to do then… ?

Great it’s working like you need…


You English is much better than my <your language> is … :wink:

:smile_cat:

Yes and thank you for driving me to that :slight_smile:

I guess this could be automatic in lightburn for rotary config activation. When using the Rotary you anyway are locked @360° on its own axis so the circumference could be “the” variable :slight_smile:

:face_with_monocle:

Don’t follow the meaning here… the rotary is just a cylindrical Y axes…
