A rotary attachment can be factory installed on Kern's laser systems for processing of pipes, rods and other
cylindrical items. The rotary device is driven by a high resolution servo motor, resulting in smooth and
accurate cutting performance.
INSTALLING THE CHUCK ROTARY STAGE
1. Turn ON the laser system and align the gantry.
2. Remove the paper, honeycomb and front two ecolite pieces.

6. Turn ON the laser system, Open KCAM, Click Test and enable the Z Rotary Mode checkbox.
CORELDRAW SETUP
1. Measure the distance from the left side of the table to the right edge of the rotary chuck.
2. Open a new file and create a guide along the left side that is set at the distance
determined in Step 1. Make sure to place all artwork on the right side of this guide so that
the laser nozzle does not hit the chuck.
3. Print your artwork to KCAM.
KCAM SETUP
