AGV3D Hardware Manual

2.7. Water Requirements

If the -WC (water-cooling) option was purchased, use this option to cool the galvo motors and the AGV3D
enclosure.
Use distilled water and a chiller that is sized to deliver 0.35 GPM (gallons per minute) at 60 psid. Use nylon
tubes with an outer diameter of 6 mm to deliver and retrieve the coolant from the scan head. You could use a
corrosion inhibitor additive meant for multi-metal cooling channels to help increase the life of components in
the water cooling circuit.
W A R N I N G : Do not use cooling additives that are corrosive or damaging to common cooling-
circuit materials. These materials include brass, stainless steel, aluminum (plain or anodized),
nickel plating, polyurethane, nylon, and nitrile rubber. Contact the factory to discuss the
specifics of your application before you use a coolant other than distilled water.
W A R N I N G : To prevent damage to the AGV3D, do not attach a water hose to an air fitting or
an air hose to a water fitting.
