- Insert the setting tool into the rotary (as shown below).
- Match the tip of the tool to the laser pointer. Use the direction key buttons to position the laser pointer to tip of the tool. Then, click [Next].
Or, on the machine, use
buttons then long-press 
button (for more than 1 second).
- Remove the setting tool then insert the ring into the finger chuck (as shown below). Use both finger chuck handle to tighten the clamp and secure the ring.
- Then, move to the next step. Enter the size of the ring.
- Move the [H pointer] to the center of the ring by using the direction key buttons. Then, click [Complete].
¶ How to calibrate bangle clamp origin
- Place and secure the bangle clamp to the work area.
- Click [Rotary Origin].
- If bangle clamp auto tilting function is enabled, first, set the tilting origin to 0 degree.
Match the clamp angle with the cross mark on the clamp body (as shown above).
Click up/down button to adjust the angle by 0.1 degree.
Once the angle is positioned to 0 degree, click [Next].
※Unlike the rotary clamp, adjusting the left-right position saves the setting permanently, even after restarting the program.
¶ 6. Correction
The father the laser moves away from the center, the greater the distortion occurs.
When the laser passes through the lens after passing through the scan head, the farther it moves, the more distorted the shapes become (see figure on the left).
To correct distortion, correction process is used (see figure on the right).
[How to calibrate correction]
- Use a material larger than (110x110 mm). Preferably, with a size of (120x120 mm).
- Click [Correction].
- Read the notification on calibration process. Click [Next] to start calibration.
- Enter the height of the material then click [Apply]. Click [Mark] to start marking.
- Measure the coordinate values in each corner. Enter the sizes then click [Complete] to finish calibration.
Be sure to measure the size from each corner (as shown below).
¶ 7. Camera
- Place the material on the work area. ※Use a black paper when setting the camera
- Click [Camera].

- The camera automatically recognizes the focus pointer and performs calibration.
Wait for the calibration to complete automatically.
Machine operation and program operation are prohibited during automatic calibration.
A completion confirmation appears once the calibration is completed.
¶ 8. Scan fine calibration
● Outer diameter and inner diameter scans must be calibrated separately. (Depending on the outer diameter or inner diameter option selected in the ring template.)
If the marking position is incorrect, it can be adjusted using Scan Fine Calibration.
-
Select a ring template in the program, then choose either the inner diameter or outer diameter to calibrate. Secure the material in the rotary clamp, then select [Rotary Image Scan] in the [Camera] section of the program.
-
Select the [Settings] icon in the upper-right corner of the [Rotary Image Scan] window.
- Scan again without moving the material. Compare the scan result with the actual material position, then enter the X/Y offsets in the detailed settings window to correct the position.
• The current value field displays the detected position error. Enter the required correction value in the Offset field. The final value is calculated by adding or subtracting the offset from the current value.
For example, if the current value is 0.92 and -0.1 is entered in the Offset field, the final value becomes 0.82.
• X Offset: Corrects horizontal positional errors in the scan results.
• Y Offset: Corrects vertical positional errors in the scan results.
• The outer diameter offset configured during outer diameter scanning is automatically applied to the inner diameter offset during inner diameter scanning.
