1. The machine is connected and operating normally, and the lens cover has been removed.

The mug are cylindrical so we need a rotary to have a laser etching.

First, prepare the adapted rotary.

Next, attach the rotary to the machine.

Finally, clamp the mug to the rotary. Don’t forget to check to make sure it’s clamped steady and level. It’s important for laser etching.

oad your design into LightBurn software, adjusting its size and position to fit your ceramic mugs. Then make sure the laser etching parameters are set correctly. And the parameters of the rotary axis should also be set appropriately.

Missing the focus is one of the biggest reasons for laser etching failure. So don’t forget to click the AF button for auto focus. Of course, manual focus is also effective.

Of course, manual focus is also effective. Hang the focal stick at the correct position under the lens, and then carefully adjust the Z-axis height. When the end of the focal stick just touches the surface of the mug, it is in focus!

Auto focus

Manual focus

Press the frame button and check if the visual red light indicate the right area to be etched. The frame should be located in the middle of the mug. If not, move the pattern positions until they align.

After checking, close the laser door and begin Aurora Lite’s operation.

Stay near the machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This vigilance ensures safety during laser etching, as laser energy is potent. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam, even with protective measures in place.

Once laser etching is complete, carefully open the door and get your newly personalized ceramic mug. Laser etching does not produce toxic substances, and you can use the ceramic mug after a simple cleaning!
