6.4 Installation
WARNING!: Before proceeding with installation of the machine, carefully read the instructions below.
Failure to observe the following warnings can cause injuries, death or damage to equipment.
ELETTROLASER S.R.L. declines any liabilities for damage to persons or things due to installation in an environment characterized
by one of the situations described below.
6.5 Installation limits
PROHIBITION!: The machine cannot be installed in explosive atmosphere environments as defined by standards EN 60079-10-1
“Explosive atmospheres. Part 10 -1: Classification of places – Explosive atmospheres due to the presence of gas” and EN 60079 -10-
2 “Expl osive atmospheres. Part 10-2: Classification of places – Explosive atmospheres due to the presence of combustible dusts”.
Machines, components and devices designed to operate in explosive atmospheres must feature the (ATEX) label as set forth
by standard EN 60079- 14 “Explosive atmospheres. Part 14: Design, choice and installation of electrical systems”.
PROHIBITION!: The machine cannot be installed in environments requiring a higher IP protection level than 2X .
PROHIBITION!: As use of these lasers entails the danger of fires, the machine must not be installed near flammable materials.
A fire extinguisher must be kept near the machine.
WARNING!: Do not perform welding operations in proximity of degreasing, cleaning or vaporization areas.
A reaction could take place between the heat and the vapors, generating highly toxic and irritating gases.
6.6 Preparation of the installation site
The machine can be installed only in a specially prepared site, located upon a stable work surface, capable of sustaining its weight
(please refer to Tab. 5-3), in a perfectly horizontal position and at a height from the floor that ensures ergonomic use by the operator;
the work surface must be of suitable dimensions to allow for use of the machine.
As established by currently effective laws, the installation site must comply with requirements for hosting a class 4 laser (laser
controlled area, LCA).
The site is a well-ventilated indoor area.
The minimum dimensions of the installation area are 2600 x 2900 mm, mm, in order to ensure adequate access to the machine and
suitable space for maneuvering around it. The minimum height of the building where the machine is installed must correspond to
2700 mm.
The client is responsible for preparing the power supply network (electricity). This network must be designed and sized to guarantee
correct functioning of the machine and compliance with safety laws.
The work environment must feature an independent lighting system and an adequate aspiration system for fumes deriving from
machine operations; in terms of the latter, the
ideal configuration (to obtain a healthy environment and protect the operator’s health)
is one that features a suction vent (to be connected to an aspiration system via a duct – these elements are not supplied with the
