My laser keeps spinning the cups off when I hit start or frame but then slows to the speed I have set when it engraves, how do I get it to stop so it won’t mess up my engraving on cups?
A step by step settings in lightburn would be great. I know alot of people have bought Omtech lasers lately and like me need a little extra help. I have the k40+ and regular roller and it throws the cup off every time. I want to upgrade to the Chuck rotary but apparently it doesn't fit on mine.

Hey Deniera!! We are expecting a lot of our machines to be available in early April. We appreciate your patience and support!! For the time being, you can click the blue "Email Me When Available" button next to the desired machine that is out of stock.
Great video. Couple of questions, do you disconnect the rotary cable while the machine is on ? And when you disconnect it do you do.it while the machine is on ? When going back to regular, after plugging back y cable your settings Don't change right?
Great questions!! Yes, you have to disable the rotary device and can do so through LightBurn. Then you will have to disconnect the rotary device and connect the regular Y-Axis connection back while the machine is on. Afterwards you will have to reset the machine. For more questions or assistance, please reach our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
Good question!! Yes, we have several types of Rotary Attachments. We have a 4-Wheel, Jaw Chuck, and "Hotdog" Rotary for cylindrical objects. Whereas, we have the 80mm for irregular-shaped objects. You can explore each one at omtechlaser.com/collections/accessories
I have OMTECH 50W laser and same rotary, follow all instructions but every time I try to frame it it will jump and bee off the roller tried adjusting idle speed didn’t help and idea?
Good question! You will have to place your rotary on the bed and position the laser head over the rotary and object. You will then have to select your starting point and track the frame to see if it appears centered. Hope this helps!
Hey Ben, great questions!! In this video, the machine homes to the top right. The origin settings for the project were set to Current Position, and origin location was set to top left. Hope this helps!!
I am confused my 60 watt engraver say not to engraver anything metallic yet everyone is engraving metal tumblers and other metallic things??? What am I missing?
@omtechlaser I've watched this video many times. I have an OMTech 80w and have matched the steps in this video one for one. All of my settings are the same. It does not cut through my powder coating. And now, I just get Frame Slop. Any advice?
Hey Robert we think it would be best for one of our senior techs to assist you. We were able to locate your order and sent you an email regarding getting you set-up with our techs for help.
I was watching another maker and they went to machine settings in lightburn and made changes prior to the rotary settings but I didn’t see you do that. Also they said some rotary machines the art needs to be mirrored first. I have this laser and your rotary. Are those things that need done and just wasn’t part of this tutorial?
I just tried out my new rotary with the settings at 30 power. It is on a white tumbler and there is a yellow almost burn coloring around the lettering. Does that happen when the power is too high?
Hey there, thanks for reaching out! There are different factors that can lead to discoloration including the material and quality of the material, beam alignment, and the speed/power of your settings. We suggest slightly decreasing the power and increase the speed . In some cases the tumblers will need to be cleaned after being processed. For more assistance or advice, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
I just bought the 50W laser from omtech. It is supposed to be here next week. What speed and power would you recommend me to start with when engraving tumblers? I was thinking 250mm/sec at 50% power before I finished watching the video. I noticed you go slower.
Hey there, thanks for reaching out and choosing us as your laser provider! We're excited to have you become apart of the OMTech Community! In regards to your settings, we suggest trying our initial settings first. If the results are not the best, you can start reducing the speed. This will also depend on your wattage model, as higher wattage machines can engrave with higher speeds. For more assistance or advice, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
@@omtechlaser I'm having trouble getting all of the powdercoating in my cuts with the 50W laser with some colors (red, gray so far black works well). I even bump the power up to 100% and move anywhere from 150 to 75mm/s and still have some small dots of powdercoating. I'm using 0.04mm LPI. Do you think it is something with the laser or just those color tumblers? The cut looks grayish white when done engraving and there will be bumps all over it. When I clean it off some spots look good but others don't. Any help would be greatly appreciated
@@rogert5365 Hey there!! This can depend on the color coating and the quality of the tumbler. We suggest staying under 60% max power and reduce the speed. Furthermore, we suggest performing quick and small sample tests. Our specialist team does recommend setting the LPI at around .07-.09mm. For further assistance, feel free to reach our Technical Support Team at omtechlaser.com/pages/contact-us
@@omtechlaser thank you yes it does my rotary will be here Friday so I'm actually glad this video was posted so I have a good starting point to go by as fat as settings go because I have the 80w red and black machine
I'm kind of wondering why OMTech bother doing any videos at all the couple I've seen have been pretty much useless for such a great product you need to do better. 1. You removed all form of bed from the device adjustable shelf now what's it sitting on? because it's still able to up and down. There's also no mention of how you aligned it to the X top rail. 2. you changed from normal to rotary does changing it back ruin the existing settings I've seen other videos show you how to backup existing setting so you don't ruin your old settings. 3. You've located the drive rollers on the part of the tumbler that has a thread on it I just cant imagine why you'd do that risking it walking up and down the thread. 4. You've centred the device but how there are no markings on the rotary device. 5. No mention at all of how your going to stop the project from walking up the drive train nothing stopping it from doing this. 6. If I was OMTech I'd have suggested settings for all my models for this process or should we just destroy 6 tumblers working it out. 7. No mention of Lightburn suggested settings for line interval distance either. As a business owner and CEO if your going to do something do it properly this is pretty useless.

Can you engrave any kind of tumbler or does it have to be a specific kind?
With a PiBurn Rotary, you are able to engrave nearly any kind of tumbler!
Where do you put the rotary, we have 100 watt and chuck style
How long did it take to engrave the tumbler in the video?
How do you make sure that rotary is centered with laser?
Good question! You will have to place your rotary on the bed and position the laser head over the rotary and object. You will then have to select your starting point and track the frame to see if it appears centered. Hope this helps!
Great video but your missing some steps. 1. what is your home setting? 2. Where do you have the home set to?
Hey Ben, great questions!! In this video, the machine homes to the top right. The origin settings for the project were set to Current Position, and origin location was set to top left. Hope this helps!!
I am confused my 60 watt engraver say not to engraver anything metallic yet everyone is engraving metal tumblers and other metallic things??? What am I missing?
As long as it is powder coated it’s good to engrave
You cannot engrave the metal, you can engrave the coating off, leaving the metal.
I’m confused how do I focus the machine if I removed the bed and set the rotary on the bottom below the blades?
Did you watch the video?
@omtechlaser I've watched this video many times. I have an OMTech 80w and have matched the steps in this video one for one. All of my settings are the same. It does not cut through my powder coating. And now, I just get Frame Slop. Any advice?

Does the rotary sit in the tray in the bottom of laser?
If your machine has a debris collection system (catch tray), it may sit on top. If not, it can rest on the honeycomb bed. Hope this helps!

My 80W auto focus says that i can not engrave metal, what tumblers can we engrave? The one you engraved looked like metal.
Hello, we're checking in with our specialists here in-house to get a clear answer to your question, we'll will get back to you shortly!
you can engrave the finish off metal, and plain metal you can apply brilliance and it will stick to metal after you laser it
deberia de enseñar como funciona con el programa rdword
Do you run the air assist while engraving If so is it set pretty high or somewhat low
Good question!! We used the stock air assist for this model, and used it at around 4-7 psi. Hope this helps!!

Lazy presentation at best, this will not get you through actually engraving tumblers using Lightburn. Please up the content for your customers guys.
