Ok.. I've finally recieved my machine and I've tripple checked all of the installs on everything and am now ready to do the Laser Alignment.
To be honest this part makes me a little nervous, and I want to get it right.
1) I installed the Laser Tube and connected the wires to both ends as explained.
2) I hooked up the Chiller, the new CW5000 unit and filled the Laser tube with water. Everything seemd to go well. I "DID NOT" have any bubble develop though??? It seems totally full and the CW5000 seems to be operating properly and says normal.
I was kind of amazed that there was no bubble after all the talk about one, but maybe I got lucky or something.
a) I used 6 litres of distilled water mixed with one cup of "Propylene Glycol" based Antifreeze.
b) Once i filled the Laser tube I added an additional 1 1/2 litres of distilled water into the CW5000 to bring it back up to full.
3) I connected the exhaust fan to the unit and vented it outdoors. This was a little bit of a challenge because the exhaust hose did not have a face plate on the machine itself to connect it to?? So I made one in my shop and solved the problem. I've got a nice tight seal to the machine now but it took some time to do.
4) I connected the Air Assist with no difficulty.
5) I connected the power supply to the board inside the panel box and now I think I'm ready to start the actual Laser Alignment. I will do this tomorrow and I'm hoping I don't have any fireworks when I first put power to the unit.
6) It says in the manual "the best I can understand anyhow" that you move the Laser head to the four corners of the unit. Right now "without power" the Laser head "CAN NOT" be moved. When I put power to the unit for the first time
"DOES THIS FREE UP THE LASER HEAD SO THAT I CAN MOVE IT AROUND???"
If anyone has any VIDEO of the actual setup I would love to see it. If not any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David
