LAYOUT OF CUTTING MACHINE AND HT4001 SYSTEM

When configuring an HT4001 system(s), it is important to know where each major component
will be placed. This will vary with the cutting machine type (gantry or cantilever) and with the
particular installation. After determining the location of the major components, specify the
interconnecting leads and cable lengths.

It is critical to follow the path that the interconnecting leads will follow and allow for some
slack when specifying their lengths. Do not try to get by with the next shorter length!

Pictured below are two diagrams showing overhead views of typical cantilever and gantry
systems. Installations vary, so use these figures as a guide.

* Cables are usually in a power track or
festoon system. Cable, lead and hose lengths
must allow for routing through the system.
