About this Article

In this article, we list some issues and solutions about using the Rotary Attachment with S1. 

If your rotary attachment doesn't work properly with S1, please see if this article helps.

Symptoms & Solutions

The Distance Sensor Falls Off During Focusing

If the laser origin (the starting point of the processing) is not set properly, the distance sensor may hit the edge of the rotary attachment and fall off when it moves down to measure the focal length. When this issue occurs, please set the starting point properly and try again.

Note: When you use xTool S1 with the rotary attachment, the laser cylindrical mode is not supported. Please make sure the processing material is placed horizontally on level ground.

The Laser Module Collides with the Chuck Component

• When xTool S1 is processing an object, the machine will accelerate first, then move at a constant speed, and finally decelerate to rest. The laser module will fire only when the machine is at a constant speed. The acceleration and deceleration process is called over-scanning.
• When the laser module is framing, the red cross only scans the processing area. If it is too close to the chuck of the rotary attachment, it will collide with the chuck during processing.
• Therefore, in chuck mode, please keep a proper distance between the framing area and the jaw chuck components. And the distance is for the laser module to finish the scanning above.

The Edge of the Engraving is Missing in Chuck Mode

• In chuck mode, parts of the engraving pattern are missing or faded. If this issue occurs, please process with the same pattern in laser flat mode. If the issue still persists, the TF card and the processing file may be faulty. Please contact customer support for advice.
• If the issue disappears, please check the processing mode and the over-scanning distance settings in XCS. Changing the over-scanning distance is not supported in XCS temporarily. It's recommended to use Lightburn to increase the scanning values properly.

Note: When xTool S1 is processing an object, the machine will accelerate first, then move at a constant speed, and finally decelerate to rest. The laser module will fire only when the machine is at a constant speed. The acceleration and deceleration process is called over-scanning.

Note: If the over-scanning distance is too long, the laser module and the jaw chuck components may collide. And you need to reset the starting point of the processing properly.
