5.0 Machine Placement
When unpacking the SmartShop CBX Fiber Laser, separate all enclosed items from the packing
materials and inspect each for damage. Save the packaging materials until all issues concerning
missing or damaged items have been resolved.
5.1 Placement
Select the area where the SmartShop CBX Fiber Laser will be operated. The physical
environment where the SmartShop CBX is located is important to safe assembly and operation.
Before removing the SmartShop CBX from its packaging, consider the weight load, electrical
installation requirements, lighting, dust collection, and space allocation available for the machine
and accompanying materials.
Guidelines for properly placing the machine follow:
1. There should be a minimum of a 4ft area around all sides of the machine. If you cannot
fully open all the doors around the machine, it cannot be installed or serviced in the future if
need be. Make sure you leave room for the chiller and gases (Oxygen and Nitrogen)
There should be a sufficient area around the machine to facilitate easy access to the
workpiece, perform maintenance, and provide safe egress in the event of an emergency.
2. Select a solid level floor rated to hold the weight of the and workpieces under both static and
dynamic loads. Laguna Tools recommends concrete flooring. Consult a licensed and
experienced professional if in doubt.
3. Position the SmartShop CBX close to a power source and dust collection.
4. Allow an area for the storage of workpiece materials, finished products, and tools.
5. Leave ample space around the machine for the operator to handle both the equipment and
the materials being cut.
6. Leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the
maintenance described in the Owner’s Manual.
5.2 Lighting
Ensure that the lighting your machine is placed under is sufficient to safely perform regular
operation and maintenance. Any glares, shadows, or strobe lighting which may distract or prevent
the operator from safely operating the machinery should be removed from the working area.
