Preparations before assembly
When installing a Torchmate CNC Cutting System in your workshop, there are preparations you can make to
influence the productivity and ease of use of the machine—as well as the safety of the operator. The main
factors to prepare for include the physical layout and placement of the machine in the shop and the availabil-
ity of power, compressed gas or air (or both), and ventilation.
Space
Electrically
powered
modules
• When preparing to install the Torchmate CNC Cutting System, provide sufficient space
for efficient operation. This includes considering the room to safely load and unload the
material being cut, and storage for the raw materials and finished products.
• If your system is too far from your material storage or from the stations where additional
operations may be performed, it reduces your overall efficiency. A good goal is to arrange a
balance between space and efficiency.
• Consider placing the equipment in an area that can handle any expansion, as needed.
• The following components of the system must be supplied with power.
• CNC Control box
• Plasma power supply
(separate purchase)
• Computer
(separate purchase)
• Air compressor
(separate purchase)
• Oxyfuel / plate marker relay box (optional)
• Always consult with your electrical service provider or a qualified electrician to ensure
that each circuit meets the equipment’s requirements for power and EMI—and is safe to
operate.
• Many pieces of shop equipment can generate enough high frequency electromagnetic and
radio waves to interfere with the operation of the CNC Control box or the computer or both.
Consider installing a ground rod near the Torchmate CNC Cutting System to help reduce
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Always consult with your electrical service provider or a qualified electrician regarding
electrical code requirements in your local area for grounding rods and other measures you
can take to reduce EMI.
