Machine Installation
Machine Location
Before unpacking the machine, select the area where the machine will be
installed. There are no hard-and-fast rules for its location, but below are a few
guidelines:
1) There should be an area around the machine suitable for the length of
material that will be machined as well as any loading and unloading
requirements.
2) There should be adequate lighting in the work area. The better the
lighting, the better the productivity.
3) The floor area under the machine should be flat and solid so that the
machine frame does not shift as the gantry and tool plate traverse.
Concrete is preferable.
4) Consider the electrical and air supplies, vacuum pump location and dust
collection when identifying an area to place the machine.
Unpacking the Machine
Unpacking the machine will require tin snips (to cut banding), a knife and an
adjustable wrench. Follow the steps below:
1) Using the tin snips, cut the banding that is securing the machine to the
pallet (if fitted).
2) WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED BECAUSE THE
BANDING CAN SPRING AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
3) Remove the box from the CNC machine (if fitted) and any other
packaging material. The parts ordered with the machine will be packed on
or inside the machine. (Please note, the machine is heavy, and it is
recommended that professional assistance [rigging] be used for
unloading and placing the machine.)
4) Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and
forks that are long enough to reach the complete
width of the machine before attempting to lift the
machine.
5) Remove the securing bolts that attach the
machine to the pallet (if fitted).
6) Approaching the machine from the side, lift the
machine on the frame, taking care that there are
no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
7) Move the machine to the required position and
install the leveling feet.
8) Then lower the machine gently to the floor.
9) Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of
the machine and no rocking is taking place.
