Center Support Lift
Dragon A150 models with a 24-foot Rail come equipped with a Center Support Lift that
supports longer material, keeping it from sagging, allowing the machine to achieve accurate
operation. The Center Support Lift also relieves pressure on the Chuck, Trolley and Gate,
and assists in preventing potential Torch collision. The Center Support Lift is operated via
compressed air. It uses a mechanical push/pull switch to engage and disengage from the
material.
