    Before material processing

    (1) Place xTool P2 on the riser base.

    Note: The riser base is designed with positions on the left and right sides for placing your hands. To place xTool P2, hold it on the sides instead of at the corners, so that your hands don't get hurt.

    (2) Remove the slats.

    Tips: You can keep the removed screw and slats, for subsequent use, in the storage space on the right side of the riser base.

    (3) Remove the screw that fixes the baseplate, open the door panel, and then take out the baseplate.

    (4) Connect xTool P2 to XCS.

    Process materials

    The riser base is designed with 9 placement levels to adapt to materials of multiple thicknesses.

    Before placing a material, you need to determine the level at which the baseplate of xTool P2 is to be placed based on the thickness of the material to be processed.

    Alternatively, you can determine the placement level of the baseplate by using the tape measure. For details about how to use the tape measure, visit support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/13280821588631.

    Process thick materials

    For materials thinner than 30 mm, you can place the baseplate back into xTool P2, and then place the material on the baseplate for processing.

    For materials of 30 mm or thicker, you can't place the baseplate back into xTool P2 for material processing. You need to determine the level at which the baseplate is to be placed based on the thickness of the material, as described in the following table.

    imagep2__1_.png

    1

    30 ≤ h ≤ 102

    1a

    43 ≤ h ≤ 115

    2

    55 ≤ h ≤ 127

    2a

    68 ≤ h ≤ 142

    3

    80 ≤ h ≤ 154

    3a

    93 ≤ h ≤ 167

    4

    105 ≤ h ≤ 179

    4a

    118 ≤ h ≤ 192

    5

    130 ≤ h ≤ 200

    For example, to process a flat material with a thickness of 130 mm.

    (1) Place the baseplate at level 2a, and place the material on the baseplate.

    imagep2__2_.png

    (2) Close the door panel and lid, and select Open plane on XCS.

    imagep2__3_.png

    (3) Click Aimed-measure to start automatic distance measurement.

    imagep2__4_.png

    (4) Set the position of the object to be processed and set processing parameters.

    imagep2__5_.png

    (5) Click Process, preview the object, press Process, and then press the button on the machine to start processing.

    (6) Wait for the processing to complete.

    Process long materials

    To process long materials, you can use the riser base in combination with xTool Conveyor Feeder. To use the conveyor feeder, you need to install it on the riser base first. For details, see https://support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/13773112933783.

    Process regular or irregular cylindrical materials

    To process regular or irregular cylindrical materials, you can use the riser base in combination with xTool Rotary Attachment.

    Roller mode

    For regular cylindrical materials, you can use the roller mode.

    For materials with a diameter of less than 42 mm, you can place the baseplate back into xTool P2, place the rotary attachment on the baseplate, and then place the material on the rotary attachment for processing.

    For materials with a diameter of 42 mm or greater, you can't place the baseplate back to xTool P2 for material processing. You need to determine the level at which the baseplate is to be placed based on the diameter of the material, as described in the following table.

    imagep2__7_.png

    1

    42 ≤ d ≤ 83

    1a

    54 ≤ d ≤ 94

    2

    67 ≤ d ≤ 104

    2a

    79 ≤ d ≤ 115

    3

    92 ≤ d ≤ 126

    3a

    104 ≤ d ≤ 139

    4

    117 ≤ d ≤ 150

    4a

    129 ≤ d ≤ 163

    5

    142 ≤ d ≤ 174

    For example, to process a cylinder with a diameter of 90 mm

    (1) Place the baseplate at level 2 and then place the rotary attachment and material on the baseplate.

    imagep2__8_.png

    (2) Select Laser cylindrical, and select Roller on XCS.

    imagep2__9_.png

    (3) Move the rotary attachment to allow the red spot to fall at the highest point of the material.

    imagep2__10_.png

    (4) Close the lid and refresh the image captured by the camera.

    imagep2__11_.png

    (5) Click Quick-measure to start automatic distance measurement.

    imagep2__12_.png

    (6) Move the object to the right side of the green line, and align its left side with the green line.

    Tips: Pay attention to the direction of the object. You may need to reflect it to get what you want.

    (7) Click Process to complete the processing as prompted.

    Chuck mode

    For irregular cylindrical materials, you need to use the chuck mode and determine the level at which the baseplate is to be placed based on the diameter of the material, as described in the following table.

    imagep2__7_.png

    1

    0＜ d ≤ 90

    1a

    90 ≤ d ≤ 100

    For example, to process a sphere with a diameter of 75 mm

    (1) Place the baseplate at level 1 and then place the rotary attachment and material on the baseplate.

    imagep2__14_.png

    You need to install the chuck parts and tail module on the rotary attachment to hold the sphere. For details about how to install and use the chuck parts of the rotary attachment, see https://support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/4905858897559.

    (2) Select Laser cylindrical, select Chuck, and enter the perimeter or diameter of the material on XCS.

    imagep2__15_.png

    (3) Move the rotary attachment to allow the red spot to fall at the highest point of the material.

    imagep2__16_.png

    (4) Close the lid and refresh the image captured by the camera.

    imagep2__11_.png

    (5) Click Quick-measure to start automatic distance measurement.

    imagep2__17_.png

    (6) Move the object to the right side of the green line, and align its left side with the green line.

    Tips: Pay attention to the direction of the object. You may need to reflect it to get what you want.

    (7) Click Process to complete the processing as prompted.
