05.3 Floor Specifications
Floor Area
Floors and counter spaces in the ProJet™ 7000 work area should be nonporous and suitable for cleaning with solvents. Do not install the
ProJet™ 7000 on carpeted floors. The feet of the system should be on a non-resilient surface such as bare concrete. The machine should not
straddle any floor seams. The maximum permissible floor incline is 2.5 cm/12 m (1 in/40 ft). Not following floor recommendations may result in
poor printer operation.
Floor Vibration and Shock
The system is a precision mechanical and optical machine that is sensitive to vibration. In order to ensure part quality and accuracy, a ground
floor location with a concrete floor, (miminum of 4 inches thick) is recommended.
Poor Printer Operation
If the site's floor is extremely out of level, The system cannot be installed. The cart will not fit making it impossible to level the system.
The ProJet™ 7000 is slightly self-damping, and should not be affected by normal or incidental environmental vibration; however the area should
be isolated, either via location or some other physical or mechanical means, from any significant internal or external vibration sources such as
heavy machinery, HVAC and fans. Locations near airports or train tracks which could cause unacceptable shock or vibration levels are not
recommended.
