To avoid problems
Revised: February 2007
In order to ensure time- and labour-saving delivery and installation of our systems, we recommend to make certain arrangements:
Checklist before delivery
1. Where and how is the machine to be placed:
- There must be suitable electric power connection with a sufficient number of sockets
- The room should be dry
- Please make sure that there is enough light
- The machine needs a solid table to be put on
- There should be enough room for machine and computer
2. The PC
- 32bit-operating system, Windows 2000 and more, W98 limited only
- min. 128 MB main memory, CD-drive to instal nccad
- A free serial port/interface for communication with the CNC-machine
- Laptops without serial port must have an adapter from serial port to USB
- Installed Internet-Explorer from Microsoft, min. IE5 ( not Netscape), necessary for the helppages of nccad.
- Graphical resolution min. 1024 x 768 Pixel. Fast OpenGL-Graphic board (otherwise no OpenGL-Simulation).
- Ordinary 32bit-computer to work directly at the CNC-machine is sufficient for operating and monitoring.
3. Important for big and heavy machines:
- Preferably the machine should be placed on ground level, make sure that your doors are wide enough
- It might be difficult to carry the machines into the basement, especially when the staircase is narrow and steep.
- It is recommended to have a cart, a fork lifter or strong men to help.
- The table or rack must be solid enough to carry the heavy machine
