the NCi-6 interface unit”, for further information).
5. Switch on the barrier air supply to the NC4 unit and set the air pressure (see page 3-9, “Setting the
NC4 barrier air pressure”, for further information).
6. Align the NC4 unit (see page 3-14, “Aligning the NC4 unit to the machine axes”, for further
