Minimum space requirements and layout diagrams for Nova and Nova Plus laser machines, including floor footprint measurements and clearance notes.

Applies toNova PlusTopicGeneral
The drawings are done graphically and may not be to scale. Use the measurements accompanied by arrows and devices. You should also allow for working space in front of the machine and for any additional peripherals you add. You should leave room on all sides for access to open the doors and perform work, 3' minimum. For the Nova 35, 51 and 63...consider the vertical clearance from floor to opened Lid to be ~70", for the Nova 24 it will vary based on the stand used.
