Multi Roller User Guide

Steps

1. Plug in the machine and turn it on. Allow the machine to home
2. Press the Z/U key on the keypad so that Z Move is highlighted. Then, press and hold the RIGHT arrow key until the table lowers all the way down and automatically stops.

   

3. Open the lid on the machine, and use the cabinet key to open the lower access door.
4. If it is not already in place, position the honeycomb tray on the bed of the machine, ensuring it is pushed fully to the back of the machine.
   

   📌 Note for MIRA5: If you are using a MIRA5 do NOT use the honeycomb tray while using the Multi-Roller. The Multi-Roller should be placed directly on the laser bed. At this time, if you are using the Multi-Roller in a MIRA5, remove the autofocus pin. (See: Autofocus Pin Resource)

   

5. Lay the Multi-Roller onto the honeycomb tray. Position it so that it is pushed against the black rim of the honeycomb tray, but is NOT laying on the rim.
   

   📌 Note for MIRA5: In the MIRA5, place the Multi-Roller directly on the laser bed and push it to the back of the bed until it is touching the back wall of the machine.

   The center beam of the Multi-Roller should be centered on the bed - use the “arrow” created by the air vents at the back of the laser bed to find the center.

6. Use an Allen key to loosen the two screws on the center beam of the Multi-Roller.

   

7. Lay 4 tumblers on the four corners of the Multi-Roller, adjusting the center beam so all tumblers are snug.
8. When the center beam is in the correct position, tighten the screws.

   

9. Load all of the tumblers onto the Multi-Roller.
10. Rotate the tumblers so that the center of the area you wish to engrave is facing upwards.

    

11. Press ESC on the keypad to exit the menu, then press Speed to adjust the job/frame speed. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to select which digit to edit, followed by the UP and DOWN arrow keys to increase or decrease the value. Set the speed to 35mm/sec, then press Enter.

    

12. Press ESC on the keypad to exit the menu. Use the arrow keys to jog the gantry so that the laser head is positioned over the middle of the tumblers in the rear row on the Multi-Roller.

    

13. Press the Z/U key on the keypad so that Z Move is highlighted. Then, use the LEFT arrow key to SLOWLY raise the table until the laser head is just a few millimeters away from touching the item.

    

14. Manually focus the laser using the supplied manual focal gauge. Press the RIGHT arrow key to incrementally lower the table until the “step” for the desired focal distance* fits snugly between the workpiece and the nozzle, if necessary. (See: Manual Focusing MIRA)

    

    📌 Note: A focus of 10mm is recommended for most tumblers.

    ⚠️CAUTION ⚠️Never try to raise the table with a focus gauge beneath the nozzle. The table should always be LOWERED into focus, not raised. Raising the table too high with the loaded Multi-Roller on the bed, can result in a collision.

15. Plug the Multi-Roller into the plug port on the Super Box.
    

    📌 Note: DO NOT plug the Multi-Roller into the machine Rotary Port used for the Smart Rotary.

16. Route any excess cable so that it is out of the way of the laser beam.

    

    📌 Note: Once the Multi-Roller is plugged into the machine, the UP and DOWN arrow keys will now control the rollers, NOT the gantry. Avoid pressing them at this time.
