Upon meeting customer, ask to start the pre-site from loading dock first. Follow the path that will be used to bring
the cutter from loading dock to the proposed cutter location. Answer all of the following questions and refer to the
accompanied drawings.

Loading Dock Height (from ground to the dock floor): _______________________________________

Loading Dock Width: ______________________________________________

How will the equipment be removed from delivery vehicle? ____________________________

Is a Forklift available? Yes or No

Note: The customer is responsible for providing appropriate moving equipment, i.e. (dollies, forklift)
*See Page 6 for Specifications

What is the narrowest doorway or aisle the cutter must pass through to get to its permanent location?

_________________________________________________________

Factory Level the cutter will be installed on: (1st Floor, 2nd Floor, 3rd Floor, etc.) _________________

Method of transport to upper floors:

Riggers: _______
Elevator: _______
Size & capacity of elevator ____________lbs.______________________ *See Page 6 for Specifications

NOTE: Please contact the salesman if cutter needs to be shipped on flat bed trailer. If the loading dock
heights are incompatible, if the cutter is going in on upper levels and/or a rigger is needed then the
cutter may need to be shipped on a flatbed trailer, have the customer make that decision.

NOTE: The customer is responsible for rigging and building modifications. The customer may contact
their contract administrator for referrals of rigging company in the area.

Electrical and Air requirements:
It is the customer responsibility to supply and make all connections for air and power for the GERBERcutter.
The customer will supply the electrical feed to a power termination box. Its location depends on the system type.
On traveling systems this will be located at end of overhead track.
On stationary systems this will be located in one of two places:
Standard: Below the Take-Off end of the table near the 480-Volt power panel.
Optional: Above the Power Mast
Note: For applications where material cutting results in the production of conductive dust, an RFQ is
required.

ITEM #1
Table Power Requirements:

380/480 VAC 4 wire, 3 phase, single ground 50/60 HZ.

The 3-phase power is used to run the vacuum motor using a variable frequency drive unit.

The 40 HP Vacuum Blower used on the 1.8M and 2.2M wide cutter will require nominally 40-50 Amps at 380/480V,
the cutter vacuum circuit breaker is rated at 63 A. It is recommended that a certified electrician use a 4 conductor #4
cable (supplied by customer for static systems), to wire the cutter to the customer’s facility circuit breaker, in
accordance with national and local electrical code.

NOTE: All three phase power supply to cutter shall be derived from a three phase transformer with no less than
70KVA if it is dedicated to Paragon cutter but is not to exceed 190KVA.
The secondary windings shall be wye configuration, solidly grounded center, 30 ohm max.
The voltage provided to cutter must be within the ranges of 380V - 10% and 480V +10% or 200 -10%
and 240 +10% measured at full load and at zero load, and must be balanced within 3%.
A Ufer ground, installed locally at the cutter, where available, per local code, may provide operational
advantages, especially when processing ESD prone materials.

Control Power Requirement:

220 VAC Nominal (190V Min. – 240V Max), 20 Amp, 50/60 HZ, single-phase w/ground.
The control electronics will require nominally 5 Amps at 220V, the control electronics circuit breaker is rated at 20 A. It
is recommended that a certified electrician use a D-type 30 Amp breaker to wire the cutter to the customer’s facility
circuit panel, in accordance with national and local electrical code.

NOTE: Local code should dictate wire size and any other items which deal with customers electrical
questions. Also, the control power should not be taken from the same line as the three phase
(vacuum) power, it should have its own dedicated power supply.

ITEM #2
System Air:

The customer is required to supply clean air line (water & oil free) with a minimum flow of 4-cfm @ 80 PSI.
Vortec cold air gun option requires an additional minimum flow of 10-cfm @ 100 PSI
The air line will have the same routing requirements as the electrical feed.

Table Requirements

ITEM #3
Select System and Track configuration:

____ Stationary Power Feed (On Feet)

____ Floor Feed

____ Power Mast Feed

____ Configuration Traveling Track (Power Mast Feed Only)

____ On the floor

____ In the floor (Option for new installs only, Paragon is not compatible with other cutters with in-floor track)

____ Low track (Option for existing setup only)

NOTE: The overhead and floor tracks are to be installed by the customer. The floor track must be level
within 1/8" for the full length of travel. Also the distance from the top of the floor to the top of
guide track must maintain a minimum 17mm (0.7”) clearance. Customer should verify that there are no
mechanical restrictions where track is to be installed (i.e. in-floor heating, plumbing).

NOTE: The Customer is responsible for verifying and rectifying that the floor meets the load capacity of
the systems weight.

ITEM #4
Cable Storage: Select where the cable will be stored.

Plan A._____ (feed comes from operator side, Standard Machine)

Plan B._____ (feed comes from remote side, Standard Machine)

ITEM #5
Cutter travel: __________. Measure the distance from the center of the first table to the center of the last table.

NOTE # 1: Measure only from the center of the first table to the center of the last table, do not add for
extra floor track. If extra floor track is requested, you must inform the salesman of the extra
amount.

NOTE # 2: The recommend distance from the centerline of the cutter to a wall or obstruction is 8' (244cm) for
1.8m wide and 9’ (274cm) for 2.2m wide. Cable storage requirements may increase the min. distance to a wall
or obstruction.
3
 
ITEM # 6
Cutter Travel Clearance Width: __________. Measure the distance from the end of a spreader table to a
building column or any fixed object within the full length of the cutters
travel.
NOTE: The minimum clearance required is 181" (460cm") for a Standard Table.

ITEM #7
Ceiling Height: __________. Measure from the floor to lowest point of the ceiling, where the cutter will travel
Be sure to look for low obstacles (pipes, lights, etc.) in the way.

NOTE: The minimum height required is 10’ 2’’ (310 cm).

ITEM #8
Machine Height:
Measure the height of the existing spreading tables, and choose a machine height below.
To accomplish this, measure from the top of the floor to the top of the spreading tables.

Record Height ____________.

NOTE #1: If the measurement is not the same as the choices below, inform the customer they may have to
adjust the height of the spread tables up or down to match the choices of cutter heights below. Let the
customer make the decision whether they want to go up or down to match one of the choices.

NOTE #2: The customer can choose a special height, but that requires a Request for Quote.
______ 80cm (31.5”).
______ 85cm (33.47”).
______ 90cm (35.43”).
______ Other – Requires an RFQ.

Network connection is required to provide full Customer Service support. Network connection requires Cat5e
Ethernet cable (or better).

Site Drawing:
Make a drawing of the area where cutter is to be installed, showing all existing spreading tables, distances of tables
from walls, from each other, widths of the tables, location of power, and proposed location of the cutter track. Show
column locations.

Note: Please be sure that these measurements are accurate, as the final layout will depend on the information
that you have provided.

ITEM #9
CTOT VERSION:
_____ Standard CTOT

_____ Extended CTOT
