Key Integration Requirements
Includes actuated mounting hardware where the deposition head is stored in a sealed enclosure when not in use and automatically deployed when needed.
Spindle motors can handle the additional weight.
Deployment mechanism can be mounted without collitions.
5 – 8 digital input ports available.
1 – 7 digital output ports available.
Ability to add a NO relays to the feed hold.
Possibility to add safety integration (depending on the integration).
Laser safety windows can be mounted.
Ability to add feed resume/start buttons.
*The integration will require laser safety windows, door safety interlocks and sheet metal protection for any penetrations in the roof or side walls of the machine. These hardware items are to be sourced by the integrator and depend on the CNC machine of choice.
Upgrades and Accessories
Dual Wire:
This option allows to 3D print two wire materials sequentially with very quick wire switches.
Laser Alignment System:
It allows users to calibrate Meltio’s multi-laser deposition head accurately and effortlessly prior to every print.
