Epilog Rotary Attachment

[Brian Robison]

I took my auto focus of a couple years ago.

Hi guys.... it was rotary. If you look carefully, you will see part of Anthony's last name farther down on the toothpick. It was done on the ULS I have, no galvos! And, it is wrapped around the toothpick. The only thing I did was adapt a very small chuck to my rotary attachment. You can see it here:

The chucks are commonly used on very small lathes. Even cheaper would be a replacement drill chuck. The ULS has a 1/4" diameter shaft on the stepper shaft, so it is easy to adapt.

You need to persuade the software to accept the diameter, since ULS only built it to accept about 3/8" at a minimum. A distortion of the image is all it takes.

Mark, that's a great solution, would prevent slipping too. I hope Epilog is paying attention to this!

Thanks for the explanation Mark......now I just need to wait for an attachment for an Epilog rotary to be developed. So Dave, what are you doing this week?
