Minimum requirements for a successful integration of the Meltio Engine with a CNC machine are:
- Spindle motors can handle the additional weight
- Deployment mechanism can be mounted without collisions
- Eight unused M-code controlled relays
- Ability to add a NO relays to the feed hold
- Ability to add feed resume/start buttons
- Laser safety windows can be mounted
- System can lock all doors and windows
*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.
