Ken Stissel with C.R. Onsrud (Troutman, NC) discusses the benefits with a floating duct option for CNC machines with long travel.
Advantages:
- It helps eliminate the need for complicated overhead ductwork.
- Provides ease of access to the machine for overhead cranes and forklifts.
- With the gantry parked out of the way, you can load and unload material without interference.
- Eliminates the resistance and stress on the overall frame caused by traditional zipper ducts; thus, the floating duct option increases efficiency and reduces maintenance.
- For low ceiling environments which can interfere with dust collection, we provide an additional floating duct across the bridge, lowering the overall height requirement.
- Pre-assembly of the floating ductwork at our factory in NC takes the guesswork out of where to layout your overhead ductwork.
- Easy set up — once your machine is in place, connect your dust collector to the 12-inch ports.
