Environment
Facility environment requirements
Ambient temperature ………………15.5°–38°C (60°–100°F)
Recommended temperature ……………… 20°±3°C (68°± 5°F)
Relative humidity ……………… up to 90% @ 38°C (100°F), non-condensing
Airborne dust/contaminants ……………… minimal
Radio frequency interference ……………… minimal
Lighting ……………… adequate to operate and service the machine
Large temperature changes
If large temperature changes occur within an undefined period, length variances exceeding specified
tolerances could occur over the entire work envelope. The tolerances of parts cut in extreme heat
will differ from those cut in extreme cold because of variances produced in both the machine's
structure and expansion of the actual part.
Foundation
Everything starts with a great foundation and your waterjet is no exception! If you do not have an
adequate foundation, the accuracy of your machine is affected.
Your foundation must be:
• Able to support the weight of the machine when the catcher tank is filled with dirty water.
• Free of expansion joints in the area that you plan to put your machine. (The purpose of
expansion joints is to concentrate foundation movement and imperfections to these specific
areas.)
• Level to 20 mm (3/4 in.) across the span of the machine.
• Structurally reinforced and undivided to ensure even settling, should any settling occur.
In abnormal cases where a poor foundation or unusual soil conditions are present, your machine could
require an isolated monolithic foundation of adequate mass to resist both static and dynamic loads
imposed by the machine. Consult a local structural engineer to obtain design input based upon your
particular soil bearing and floor conditions.
