Exhaust Plenum - Epilog Fusion M2 32 Manual

SECTION 10: SYSTEM FEATURES

Exhaust Plenum

The Fusion incorporates an exhaust plenum and an integrated Vacuum hold-down table. Both the exhaust plenum and the
hold-down table use the airflow from the exhaust fan for two distinct functions.
1. Exhaust Plenum: The exhaust fan moves air from the front towards the rear of your machine and out the exhaust
plenum. This air removes combustible gases and smoke through the exhaust plenum.
2. Vacuum Hold-Down Table: The Vacuum Table and the Vector Cutting Table each mate to the manifold with spring-
loaded ports that are located at the back of the table and grid. Air from the exhaust fan pulls air through the table
and grid to provide suction that pulls slightly warped material flat as well as moving smoke and fumes towards the
exhaust plenum from under your material when you are using the Vector Cutting Table.
The large black manifold at each exhaust port can be rotated to different
positions depending on the table you are using. Simply loosen each screw
on the left edge of the manifold to the desired option. The photo above
shows the four black manifolds. To rotate the manifold, loosen the
Phillips-head screw holding it in place. The photo to the right shows the
manifold halfway between the 2" lens and the Downdraft Table options.
Fusion M2 32 three manifold options:
1. Blocked: Rotate the manifold to this position if you want to
block all airflow through the table. This option only blocks
air from moving through the table. It does not block air from
moving through the exhaust plenum.
2. Downdraft Table: Rotate the manifold to this position when you
are not using a Vector Cutting Table.
3. Vector Grid: Rotate the manifold to this position when you are
using the standard lens with the Vector Cutting Table installed.
Fusion M2 40 four manifold options:
1. 2" Lens (with vector grid): Rotate the manifold to this position when using the standard 2" lens with Vector Grid
installed.
2. Downdraft Table (Task Plate): Rotate the manifold to this position when you are not using the Vector Grid.
3. 4" Lens (with vector grid): Rotate the manifold to this position when you are using the optional 4" lens with Vector
Grid installed.
4. Blocked: Rotate the manifold to this position if you want to block all airflow through the table. This option only
blocks air from moving through the table. It does not block air from moving through the exhaust plenum.
In addition to the three manifold options, the exhaust plenum is divided into four (Fusion M2 32) or five (Fusion M2 40)
sections. Each section uses two thumbscrews to vary the amount of air flowing over your material towards the back of the
