Rotary accessories let G1 work with cylindrical or curved objects, but the best fixture depends on the shape, surface, and stability of the item.
Rotary chuck
A chuck is useful when the object needs positive gripping and controlled rotation. It is often the better choice for smaller cylindrical pieces where repeatable alignment matters.
Rotary roller plus extension
A roller supports objects on driven rollers and is useful for compatible cylinders that can rest stably. The long-format extension expands the physical workflow for suitable projects.
Check before ordering
- Object diameter, length, weight, and surface shape
- Whether the object can be safely gripped or supported
- Clearance around the laser head and fixture
- Whether the surface stays consistent while rotating
Use low-power alignment checks before engraving and never leave a rotary job unattended.
