2.1 PREPARE THE MACHINE

1. Power off the machine and the PathPilot controller.

a. Push in the Emergency Stop button on the operator box,

which removes power to motion control.

b. From the PathPilot interface, select Exit.

c. Turn the Main Disconnect switch to OFF on the side of the

electrical cabinet.

2. Close the enclosure doors.

NOTICE! This procedure requires you to drill four holes

into the enclosure. If the enclosure's right door is open,

there's a risk that you'll drill into it.

2.1.1 Remove the Right Side Window

To make it easier to install the mount arm, we recommend

removing the right side window from the enclosure. Loosen

the screws on the vertical window retainers, and slide the

window out of the right side panel. Set the window aside.

2.1.2 Remove the Operator Box

1. Remove the Emergency Stop cable from the operator box.

2. Remove the four screws that secure the operator box to the

machine stand using a 3 mm hex wrench.

Discard the operator box.

3. Put the four screws from the operator box back on to the

machine stand.

2.2 INSTALL THE MOUNT ARM

1. Find the drill template (provided), and cut it out along its

edges.

2. Find the operator console's mount arm.

3. Put the drill template on the mount arm's top bracket. Then,

verify that the holes on the bracket align with the holes on the

drill template. If they don't, trace the correct hole pattern on

to the drill template.

4. Align the drill template to the top of the enclosure and tape it

in place, as shown in the following image.

Figure 2-1: Drill template taped to the enclosure.

5. Put a mark in each hole on the drill template using a hole

punch.

6. Remove the drill template from the enclosure and discard it.

7. Drill into the marks on the enclosure that you made in Step 5

using an electric drill and a 15/64 in. drill bit.

Figure 2-2: Drilling holes into the top of the enclosure.

8. Secure the top of the mount arm to the enclosure with four

M6 screws, four washers, and four nuts using an M3 hex

wrench.

9. Using a level, align the bottom of the mount arm with the

bottom of the enclosure.

Figure 2-4: Bottom of the mount arm level on the

enclosure.

10. Using the bottom of the mount arm as a template, drill one

hole using an electric drill and a 15/64 in. drill bit.

11. Put one M6 screw, one washer, and one nut into the hole that

you drilled in Step 10 using an M3 hex wrench.

The mount arm is now secure enough to reliably drill the

remaining three holes.

12. Drill the remaining three holes for the mount arm's bottom

bracket.

Figure 2-5: Drilling the remaining three holes into the

enclosure.

13. Put three M6 screws, three washers, and three nuts into the

remaining three holes using an M3 hex wrench.

14. Once the mount arm is secured to the enclosure, open the

enclosure door and verify that the mount arm's screws don't

interfere with the enclosure door jamb. If they do, loosen the

screws on the door jamb, and slide it toward the back of the

machine.

Figure 2-6: Door jamb moved to provide clearance for the

mount arm's screws.

2.3 MOUNT THE CONSOLE

Complete the following steps in the order listed:

2.3.1 Assemble the Controller and Keyboard Tray 4

2.3.2 Lift and Secure the Controller Assembly 5

2.3.1 Assemble the Controller and Keyboard Tray

1. Find the three provided split collars. If they're connected,

remove their bolts using a 6 mm hex wrench, and separate

them. The split collars are matched pairs, so you must keep

them together.

Figure 2-7: One split collar disassembled.

2. Find the four provided pieces of plastic with adhesive backing.

Cut each piece of plastic so that it's the length of the inside of

the split collar.

of the controller with four M4 screws using a 2.5 mm hex

wrench, as shown in the following image. Verify that the

curved edge is facing away from the controller.

Note: Don't completely tighten the brackets to the

controller. You'll adjust them when you're adjusting

the height of the entire console assembly.
