Front Access Door; Task Plate/Vacuum Hold-Down Table - Epilog Fusion M2 32 Manual

SECTION 10: SYSTEM FEATURES

Front Access Door

The front access door is usually used for easy loading and unloading of palletized materials. The door is interlocked and
the laser will not fire if the door is open.
The front access door is supported by struts. The struts can be disconnected if you wish to open the door more than the
standard 90 degree opening. Remove the left and right thumb screws to allow the door to open the full 180 degrees.

Task Plate/Vacuum Hold-Down Table

Task Plate
On the Fusion, the task plate is used as the standard engraving table for jobs that do not include vector cutting. The task
plate is stainless steel and allows you to use magnets to hold oddly shaped items in place.
Vacuum Hold-Down Table
The holes in the task plate provide vacuum hold-down capability that keeps thin materials flat while engraving. The exhaust
system is designed so that it evacuates from both the top and the bottom of the task plate when the task plate is at its
highest position. The exhaust pulls air through the holes and forms enough of a vacuum that it will flatten slightly warped
paper, wood, aluminum sheet stock and other materials. As long as the exhaust is operating and the task plate is no more
than an inch (25.4 mm) below its highest point, the vacuum table will work.
If you have a piece of sheet stock that does not flatten out because it is not covering enough of the vacuum
holes, you can use any material (including paper) to cover some of the exposed holes. Simply blocking most
of the vacuum holes will be enough to flatten most sheet stock as long as it is not too severely warped, bent
or too rigid. Magnets can be used to hold oddly shaped items in place if needed.
