xTool RA3 rotary axis for Laser Engravers

xTool RA3 – Rotary Engraving Attachment for Tumblers, Glasses, Vases

Thanks to the intelligent xTool RA3, you will unlock a new level of possibilities in laser engraving, transforming your machine into a versatile tool for working with cylindrical, spherical, and even conical objects. This is not just a rotary module — it is the world's first intelligent system with MagSwap™ technology, providing unprecedented speed and accuracy in 360-degree engraving.

Revolutionary Versatility: 5-in-1

The RA3 module is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to work with virtually any round object. It includes four interchangeable modes combined into one compact system (while MagSwap™ allows for quick accessory changes):

• Roller Rotary: ideal for straight cylindrical items such as glasses, bottles, candlesticks. Supports diameters from 3 to 198 mm, allowing you to work with very long blanks and use the batch processing function.
• Chuck Rotary: designed for complex, uneven, or conical shapes, such as mugs with handles, tumblers, or vases. The clamping range is from 0 to 130 mm. The advanced T-shaped jaw design ensures a secure, non-slip grip even for large and heavy items.
• Sphere Rotary: allows you to process spherical items such as Christmas ornaments or baseballs. Supported diameter is 25–100 mm.
• Ring Rotary: specifically for engraving jewelry rings, both inner and outer surfaces. Diameter is 11–70 mm. The single-step 26° tilt adjustment feature ensures ideal positioning for inner ring and conical object engraving.

• Full-Wrap Engraving: thanks to a special ring mount, the module allows for seamless engraving around the entire circumference of vases and other rotating objects, which was previously an extremely difficult task.

Smart Features and Specifications

RA3 elevates rotary engraving to an expert level by integrating intelligent technologies that minimize errors and accelerate the workflow:

• MagSwap™ Technology (Removable Magnetic Modules): a revolutionary system for tool-free assembly and replacement of attachments. Switching from chuck to rollers takes mere seconds, boosting work efficiency by up to 2.4 times compared to traditional systems.
• 360° LiDAR Mapping™ (Precise 3D Scanning): in conjunction with the machine's vision system, RA3 uses laser mapping to create an accurate 3D model of the object. This allows for real-time engraving preview, ensuring ideal positioning even on the most uneven surfaces and complex shapes, preventing costly errors.
• Automatic Mode Recognition: the system automatically determines which mode (chuck or rollers) is installed and synchronizes the settings in the software (xTool Creative Space / LightBurn). This eliminates manual setup and associated errors.
• Batch Processing: for commercial projects, the module supports high-speed batch engraving up to 1200 mm/s. You can process several identical or different objects (e.g., mugs) in one run, significantly reducing the time required for large personalized orders.

Advantages of using xTool RA3

RA3 is the key accessory for those striving for excellence and efficiency in engraving:

• Seamless 360-degree Engraving: provides the ability to apply a design to the entire surface of a cylinder without visible seams.
• Increased Accuracy: intelligent 3D mapping and automatic positioning guarantee that the engraving will always be placed exactly as intended.
• Accelerated Workflow: the MagSwap™ system and batch processing features significantly reduce the time spent on preparation and execution of orders.
• Increased Maximum Object Size: processing diameter up to 198 mm in roller mode and reliable grip of items up to 2.26 kg (total module weight) opens the door to working with larger and more valuable items.
• Ease of Use: Plug-and-Play installation and intuitive control via proprietary software (xTool Creative Space/LightBurn) make it accessible to both professionals and beginners.

Compatibility and Applications

Compatibility

The xTool RA3 Rotary Module is designed for full and intelligent integration with xTool P3 laser machines (and typically xTool P2/P2S), utilizing their advanced vision systems (camera and LiDAR) to activate all smart functions such as 360° LiDAR Mapping and automatic mode recognition.

Application Areas

• Gift Personalization: creating unique inscriptions and drawings on mugs, tumblers, bottles, glasses (materials: glass, ceramics, stainless steel).
• Jewelry Making: precise engraving on rings and bracelets.
• Decor and Interior: engraving on vases, candlesticks, wooden cylindrical items, as well as baseball bats or other sports equipment.
• Souvenir Products and Merchandising: efficient production of corporate gifts and personalized products in large volumes (batch processing).

With RA3, you get not just an accessory, but an intelligent 5-in-1 system that provides high-precision, fast, and versatile rotary engraving, allowing you to bring to life the most complex and creative projects with unmatched quality.
