Look what Avid sent me!

The boxes came in really good shape form across the country. I’m taking a few minutes to enjoy the view before I dive in :rofl:

Well I made it up to step seven today.

I installed the moving rack myself (not recommended) I have the minimum space in back of the CNC 12 in to squeeze back there and get in the center it literally slipped in by itself so there wasn’t any problem. Putting that together took most of the time today.

NICE!! Keep it up!

It will be so satisfying when you get it complete and run your first sequences of tool changes. It’s like a well choreographed dance.

It’s getting there!! I put the moving plate on and spindle today.

One thing to note is don’t forget to reattach your cable track before the spindle this puppies a little taller :slightly_smiling_face:

I did the same thing, but I went ahead and trammed the spindle before I noticed. I was able to get the screws in but I needed to cut down a 5mm allen wrench to get in and tighten them.

That’s a good idea I think I’m going to do that need a 6 mm too for the tram plate upper right hand corner.

Avid provided a shortened 6mm with the AV40S just for the tramming plate bolt. I didn’t notice it until after I cut one down. Might save you a 6mm if you can find it.

Today I ran cable and airline to the spindle through all the cable track. I don’t have photos but they’re getting full I wonder if they have a 5-in track for the y?

The track gets full no doubt. But it will all fit. You may just need to massage them a little to get them to lay right.

I have all the standard cables as well as the AV40S air supply hose, laser cable and hose, extra cable for the KP1 probe, and a couple of spare 6mm air lines for mister air and fluid. Tight fit, but it works.

I’ll check that out I didn’t see one every time I turn around I see a roll hose an cables :rofl:

Yep!! It’s quite a bundle.. :wink: :+1:

Deployable laser install today. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m setting it up for the right side of the spindle my question is does the PTC fittings still point to the mounting ears of the bearing plate? As shown in the photo this would have the little black square on top of the cylinder pointing out the back..

One thing to note is the m10 hex nut does not fit over the washer..

The little black square with the pin should stick out the front. This is a lock pin to hold the cylinder up when no air is present.

I have mine mounted on the right side as well.

Okay great!! Thank you..:slightly_smiling_face: :+1:

Retro fit arming box.

Found two wires that were flipped yellow on top blue on bottom assembly instructions have them the other way around can anyone verify the proper wiring?

I can’t certify it, but this is how I wired mine and it works.
