26.1 Avid CNC Deployable Laser Kit

I just received my 26.1 Avid CNC Deployable Laser Kit and had question regarding the following step of the installation:

Were do I find the explanation for these 3 mounting heights to determine what i should go with? I have a 4 HP plug and play spindle from AVID. Thank you!

My interpretation, it’s based on the height you installed the Cylinder Nose Bracket in a previous step. For a MTC spindle, like the 4hp, that would be the lowest group (by color).

The highest position is suited for the new ATC system.

Lower is for your spindle.

You can use the middle mount if you want to work on taller stuff.

Is the older style with one rail compatible with the ATC?

Yes but you’ll lose a bunch of tool holders because you’ll need to space your tools out a lot more because the laser will hit the adjacent tool with that older deployment system

Okay thanks Eric I’ve sent in a request for the proper replacement parts :grin:
