Primary Systems for the BCN3D IGNIS To better understand this instructions manual, the following describes the three fundamental systems of the BCN3D IGNIS: Optic system and X-Y axis 1 Tube laser The optic system is created with the tube, its mirrors, the 2 Mirror grouping lens and the beam combiner.

This system is located in the interior of the machine and is controlled by the system itself. BCN3D Ignis has air vents on the upper case, thus creating a continuous flow for extracting air. The ventilation system guarantees an efficient extraction of dust and gases that are formed while operating a cut, mark and scanning.
BCN3D or SAT and adjustments Security components BCN3D IGNIS is equipped with a security anchoring system, whose function is to prevent any radiation from accessing the danger area during the entire process when the laser is active and guarantee that the machine does not cause any risk during the tasks of supplying and handling pieces.
Warnings Correct use of the machine The repair, calibration, revision and start-up tasks must be performed by official BCN3D • Any use not contemplate in this manual will be personnel and autorized BCN3D distributors. considered as misuse. • Misuse of the machine can lead to risks of body injuries and/or material damage.

Transport - Storage - Installation Transport The machine will be transported by the manufacturer or, otherwise, by an authorised distributor. The manufacturer is responsible for unloading, adjusting and tuning the components. In the event of damage or missing parts, the machine shall not be released. The procedure for checking compo- nents and inspecting damage shall be carried out by the manufacturer or, otherwise, by an authorised distributor.
Assembly and Installation The machine will be assembled by an authorised dis- tributor, which may be the transport company itself or BCN3D personnel. The assembly activities must be performed by professionals qualified in completing this task and never by the user.
