2.3 Material Support Lift
The Material Support Lift allows the Dragon A400 to process extremely long or thin material.
Long Material can sag under its own weight which can a󰀨ect machine operation and accuracy.
2.3.1 Material Support Lift Overview
Depending on the type and length of stock being cut, it may be necessary to utilize the Material
Support Lift to prevent material from sagging. This will ensure accurate cutting of the material.
The Material Support Lift can accommodate up to 6-inch OD round stock or 4-inch diameter
square stock.
2.3.2 Material Support Lift Operation
The Material Support Lift is powered by the B Axis motor which moves the lift up and down.
The rotation of the Material Support Lift is achieved via a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic
controls for the Material Lift Support are pre-set to 60 psi. However, line pressure going into
the machine can a󰀨ect the speed of operation of the Material Support Lift so some adjustment
may be necessary.
