Compressed Air Requirements
Ensure compressed air is available.
A continuous supply of clean and dry compressed air is required for proper machine
operation. Compressed air will connect to the machine’s filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL)
unit. Use these specifications:
• Air humidity dew point: 2º C (35º F).
• Use a minimum 13 mm (0.5 in) diameter (trade size) pipe supply line to the
machine.
• Install a drip leg in the line before the connection to the FRL unit. The drip leg
will help remove the moisture in the air supply and improve operation of the
FRL unit.
• Do not use quick-coupler type fittings at the connection to the FRL unit or in
the supply line to the machine because these fittings restrict the air supply.
Recommended Operating Temperature
Ensure operating temperature requirements are met.
Hurco machines may be operated in a facility with ambient temperatures ranging from
0º C to 35º C (32º F to 95º F) and in non-condensing relative humidity up to 95%. The
electrical cabinet has a heat exchanger to regulate the temperature inside the cabinet to
ensure that the electronics operate within their temperature limits. Some high-duty cycle
applications may require that the heat exchanger be replaced with an optional air
conditioner.
Set up the machine away from external heat sources, such as direct sunlight and heating
vents.
See the Model-specific Specifications document for Air Supply
specifications.
For ambient shop temperatures higher than 35ºC (95ºF), an optional
air conditioner is recommended in place of the heat exchanger to
ensure the electronics operate within their rated limits.
