Hi,
I have bought a rotary chuck for my 1390 laser.
The Rotary is set up on the U axis and it works fine.
It’s the X axis that moves left to right to engrave on the pipe.
However, I have now rotated my chuck 90 degrees. But it’s still the X axis that moves left to right to engrave. Instead of the Y axis, moving forward and backwards.
Hope someone can help, it’s really frustrating.

Change your scan angle to 90 degrees from 00 degrees.

That doesn’t work. The Rotary just stops moving when you change scan angle. I don’t think it’s designed to use the Y axis somehow.

Read this topic;
I have a laser mounted to a CNC router. I have a dedicated A axis rotary that is oriented along the Y axis (wrapping X). I’m trying to figure out how to set up Lightburn to work with it. If I choose A axis in the rotary setup and create gcode to send to the controller (GRBL), only the A axis moves. The gantry stays in place. Is there a setting in Lightburn to let it know that the A axis is aligned along the Y axis? As I mentioned, I’m not using the Y axis motor to turn the rotary. I have a dedic…
Sorry you´re laser is Ruida controlled.

Did you move your stepper motor control wires? If not, how do you think the controller would know where the laser is?

Which stepper motor wire?
The Rotary chuck is connected to the U axis.
I just have to swap wires for x and y everytime I engrave in that direction, that works ok.

Currently, we only allow for the X axis being the rotary for certain GRBL devices.
This setup will not work with Ruida Devices
