Cutting Stage Lid and Side Panels
NOTICE
Do not remove the side panels under normal conditions. Damage may occur when
operating the ProtoMAX with the side panels removed. Only remove them when
required by maintenance or troubleshooting procedures.
The cutting stage lid provides safe access to view the cutting process. The lid has a
built in safety interlock switch that halts all cutting operations (pauses MAKE, stops
stage motion, and turns off the pump) when the lid is opened. Always use the Pause
button in the software to pause the system before opening the lid. This allows the
operator to safely inspect the work and adjust materials as needed. Once the lid is
closed, the cutting operation may be continued. Side panels provide protection to
the catcher tank and pump. Incoming water pressure may be monitored through the
viewing portal located on the right side panel. Panels should remain on the table
assembly during operation. Panels can be easily removed for access to the interior
components.
