SYSTEM DELIVERY
After placing your order, a 3D Systems™ representative will contact you to schedule your shipment delivery date. Ensure
that the area you intend to place your SLA
®
system is ready to move the system in to, and that you have appropriate forklifts
or other lifting devices before scheduling the installation of your system by a 3D Systems representative. The following
information will guide you through this preparation phase.
PREPARATION FOR RECEIVING
Being that the ProX 950 crate is quite large, have an adequate forklift available before you begin to unload the crate from the
shipping truck. Make sure that the available forklift, or other lifting device, can handle the load during unloading and during de-
crating. (
and other figures/charts below for forklift points and weights/measures.)
NOTICE: Crates can only be unpacked by, or under the supervision of, a 3D Systems Customer Support Engineer. 3D
Systems™ accepts no responsibility for missing items if crates are opened without an authorized 3D Systems employee
present supervising this procedure.
Inform your receiving personnel that these crates will be arriving and arrange for a location to store them until your
appointment with a 3D Systems Customer Support Engineer.
Inform your receiving personnel that the crates allow forklift access from the side to make sure they can be properly unloaded
or moved to your warehouse until the 3D Systems representative is scheduled to install the systems.
If you do not have an adequate forklift on-site, contact the shipping company in advance of the shipment to discuss whether
one is needed for receiving the shipment. The forklift must have a minimum of 1.8m (6 ft) forks for safe and stable transport,
but we recommend 2m (6.5 ft). The forks must reach past the center shipping bar (
).
It must be rated for the weight of any of the components you ordered. The lift loops are designed to accept 1.5 in (38 mm) thick,
4 in (approximately 100 mm) wide forks. Fork extensions will not fit in the lift loops on the machine frame. Review the charts on
page 11 for crated dimensions and weights of the components.
