4 Delivery and Transport
This chapter provides information regarding the delivery, transport and unpacking
of the handheld laser welding system.
4.1 Delivery
The welding system is shipped in a foam insulated collapsible crate with foam
shock absorbers and impact indicators to help secure and ensure safe handling
during shipping.
Special care is recommended when unpacking. To minimize the risk of damage to
the unit, Miller recommends that you unpack the unit using the instructions
provided in section 4.2 [▶75].
4.1.1 Inspection Upon Delivery
The shipping package is labeled with information for both the carrier and receiver;
however, these markings may not always ensure proper handling. Inspect the
crate exterior for any apparent damage that may have occurred during transit.
• Identification - A packing label is affixed on the top panel of the shipping package
to: (1) identify the manufacturer’s name, address and phone number; (2) provide
general product information such as model number, model code, serial number;
and (3) specify the shipping date (MM/DD/YEAR).
• Impact Indicators - The following labels and indicators are affixed on the side
panels or ends of the wooden crate to help provide guidance for proper handling
and what to do if mishandling is apparent (refer to Table 18 [▶74]).
IMPORTANT
If the packaging shows any signs of external damage, check unit for damages
and notify the shipping agent and Miller immediately.
Particular care must be taken when you remove the unit from the packing case
to ensure that the fiber optic cable is not broken or damaged.
IMPORTANT
Shipping container indicators
Red and blue arrow indicators are a sign of possible damage (container
mishandled).
Immediately after delivery check the crate and laser device for damage.
In the event of damage: (1) take pictures showing condition of crate, indicators,
and unit; (2) inform both Miller and the shipping company in writing.
Always specify the serial number of the shock and/or tip and tell monitoring
device.
