Specifications are subject to change without notice.
* Workpiece geometry and weight specifications are approximate values to be used as general guidelines. Due to other factors such as workpiece inertia that are difficult to quantify, there are parts outside this range that can be run under certain circumstances, as well as parts within this range that may not run under all circumstances. Use caution when attempting parts outside these limits, or contact QED for further guidance.
** Vacuum generation is supplied with machine.
*** Axes are applicable to machine model and configuration.
**** Distilled water must be used for the chiller. The use of DI water (De-Ionized Water) is prohibited due to its reaction with metals in the lines, couplings and chiller unit.
