MANUAL OPERATIONS

The

print applicator

is on a rail system above the material delivery module (MDM). The applicator process combines elevator

and applicator movements to apply material to the top of the part so that the next layer can be built. The applicator, which

contacts the material, can be removed from the ProX 950. The applicator should be kept with the MDM so that when the

material is changed, the applicator remains with the material that it has been in contact with.

Note: applicator tabs are delicate . Extra care should be taken to prevent damage to them . If tabs are damaged,

the applicator calibration process will not perform properly, resulting in print failures .

To install the applicator, do the following:

Take applicator off of the applicator rest that is on the

MDM.

Place the applicator onto the two locating pins.

Secure applicator with the thumb screws which are

present.

To remove the applicator, do the reverse of above:

Loosen the thumb screws.

Remove the applicator from the two locating pins.

Place applicator onto the applicator rest located on the MDM.

Note: During printing, if the print completes or stops, or if the applicator stalls, the applicator automatically

moves back to the home position .

The print applicator will need to be cleaned periodically. Remove the print applicator, wipe print applicator off with a paper

towel with some isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to get any isopropyl alcohol in the material in the MDM. Be sure to wear nitrile

gloves when handling print applicator.
