Using Flexible Fixture with LX2

  • Updated

The flexible fixture is designed to securely hold objects of various irregular shapes, uneven surfaces, or items lacking stable support points, enabling smooth engraving on planar or curved surfaces.

1. Fixture Setup Instructions

Step 1 – Unlock the Steel Pins

Ensure the steel pins are unlocked before positioning your object. If needed, turn the handle counterclockwise to unlock.

Step 2 – Position the Object

Press the object gently onto the array of steel pins, allowing them to embed into the object’s surface.

3. Compatibility with LX2 and Riser Base

The LX2 supports a maximum processing height of 45 mm. Since the flexible fixture itself exceeds this limit, it must be used with a Riser Base (sold separately).

Please refer to the LX2 Riser Base Guide for detailed setup instructions.

Compatible Material Height with Flexible Fixture + Riser Base:

Level Material Height
1 Not supported
2 Not supported
3 0–23 mm
4 0–47.5 mm

Tips
Using different Riser Base levels affects the maximum material height. Always verify your setup before starting the process.

4. Material Processing Guide

Step 1 – Place Material on Base Plate

Place the material on the Base Plate and move the Laser Module above it.

Step 4 – Record Reference Points

  • Drag the Laser Module to align the center of the red crosshair with the first point of your desired engraving area. Press the LX2 device button to record the point (a beep confirms successful recording).
  • Repeat for the second point.

Installing the Base Plate on a different Riser Base layer may cause visual parallax, reducing camera positioning accuracy. Using the physical red crosshair for calibration avoids this error.

Step 5 – Import Design and Set Engraving

Import your design, adjust its size and orientation, set the appropriate engraving parameters, preview the processing area, and start the engraving job.
