LAYOUT OF CUTTING MACHINE AND PAC-500 SYSTEM
When configuring a PAC-500 system(s), it is important to know where each major component
will be placed. This will vary with the cutting machine type (gantry or cantilever) and with the
particular installation. After the location of the major components has been determined, the
interconnecting leads and cable lengths can be specified.
It is critical to follow the path that the interconnecting leads will follow and allow for some
slack when specifying their lengths. Do not try to get by with the next shorter length!
Pictured below are two diagrams showing overhead views of typical cantilever and gantry
systems. Installations vary, so use these figures as a guide.

festoon system. Cable, lead and hose lengths
must allow for routing through the system.
