FAMILIARIZATION

This Cart Station, (PN: 284107-00) is a wall or table mounted power supply to provide power to the material cart that is sup-

plied with the ProJet® 6000 / 7000. If the cart is removed from the printer, it can be connected to the Cart Station instead.

Once connected to the Cart Station, the cart will perform the following:

1. Pump material from the print tray to the cart until the tray is empty or the cart is full.

2. Heat the material to the proper temperature.

3. Stir the material at xed time intervals to keep the material homogeneous.

Each Cart Station will maintain one material cart. 3D Systems recommends proper material storage, as this is an important

factor of achieving the ne details and reliable material properties that the ProJet 6000/7000 can provide.

MAINTENANCE

Before attempting to clean away any liquids or debris that may come into contact with the cart station, turn off the

power, unplug the Umbilical, and unplug the station’s power cord.

The Cart Station housing may be cleaned with a towel that has been dampened with detergent and water. How-

ever, the station is not water or air tight, so care must be taken to ensure no water or other uids enter through

the ventilation holes. Any aerosol, water, or paint sprays should be directed away from the station. Contact 3D

customer support if further cleaning is required.

Keep the Umbilical plug and connector clean.

When not in use, the Umbilical should be placed in the holder, to keep it out of the way.

Keep Umbilical connector away from liquids, grease, dirt, and dust.
