The Z carriage (4) supports the thermostated needle and can be displaced over the Y carriage (3), which, in turn, can
be displaced over the X carriage (2), which, in turn, can be displaced over the X guide (1). In this way, the needle can
be displaced in the three Cartesian directions of X, Y and Z. The cable carrier chain (5) houses the Teflon dispensing
tube (6) and all the electrical hoses (7) of the arm. The support cover (8) guides the cable carrier chain of the Y
carriage along the X carriage.
