AccuMetal Setup: Site Requirements
Getting Ready for your AccuMetal
Have power, gas, cooling water and floor space ready before your AccuMetal arrives. This checklist covers what the site needs.
Floor space
On its own, the machine needs 1.2 m (about 4 ft) of clear floor on every side. Next to other equipment, keep 1.2 m on the left and right; set the front and rear gaps to suit your workflow.

See the electrical power connection article for wiring details. A licensed electrician should install the circuit.
Gas, water and environment
Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
Compressed air | 0.6–1.6 MPa (87–232 psi); completely dry, no water or oil |
Nitrogen | 0.6–1.6 MPa (87–232 psi); purity ≥99.99% |
Oxygen | 0.2–1.0 MPa (29–145 psi); purity ≥99.99% |
Gas flow | More than 1.0 m³/min (about 35 CFM) |
Chiller water | Distilled or deionized: about 16 L (4.2 gal) for 1500 W, 22 L (5.8 gal) for 3000 W |
Floor | Supports 500 kg/m² (about 100 lb/ft²); low vibration, no stamping presses nearby |
Temperature and humidity | 41–104 °F (5–40 °C); humidity 80% or less |
Air quality | No smoke or heavy dust; keep away from grinding and polishing |
Interference | No strong electromagnetic sources or radio transmitters nearby |
Flooring | Anti-static flooring with shielding wires connected |
Assist gas (an air compressor or gas cylinders) is not included with the machine.
In areas that freeze, add antifreeze to the chiller water.
