COBRACOBRAELITEELITELooking Ahead . . . Prepping for Your MachineThank you again for choosing CAMaster. We value your trust in our company and look forward tobuilding and delivering your Cobra Elite CNC Router. In the interim, we hope you’ll find the followinginformation helpful as you prepare for the arrival of your machine.Shipping and ReceivingYou will receive an email from CAMaster when your machine is completed. The email will containinstructions for processing your remaining balance and ask you to provide/confirm ship-to location.Once the balance and ship-to information requirements are satisfied, we will schedule a freight carrierfor pick-up. Upon pick-up, we will email you a bill of lading with the carrier name and tracking info.Please note that the freight carrier is not responsible for unloading your machine. As such, a forkliftwith fork extensions is required for unloading. Please see Page 10 Handling CNC Equipment for moreinformation.CAMaster recommends a forklift with a minimum 8,000 lbs. lifting capacity for 5x8 and largermachines and 5,000 lbs. lifting capacity for a 5x5 machine.Basic Shop PreparationMachine Space and Location Please see Page 7 for dimensions and weights for your machine.If you haven’t already done so, please consider doorway/entry clearances between your dock,shop and installation location.When determining final machine placement, CAMaster recommends a minimum of 36”clearance around the machine perimeter. Also, please consider space for materialloading/unloading along with material staging. Please see Page 11 Final Positioning of yourRouter for more information.Other items to consider when selecting your installation location and layout include:§ Electrical connections for machine as well as options/accessories/supporting equipment§ Dust/chip collector location and related ductwork§ Vacuum pump location (if applicable)§ Compressor location (if applicable)§ Misc. cabinetry/storage for tooling, wrenches, clamping/work holding tools/fixtures,etc. (if applicable)33
COBRACOBRAELITEELITEElectrical Requirements CNC System: Please see Page 8Accessories/Options (if) purchased from CAMaster- Vacuum pump: Please see Page 9- Oneida dust/chip collection: Please see Page 9Other Accessories- Air compressor (required for air-assist, ATC, pop-up pins, blast gates)- Dust/chip collection (if applicable)Dust/Chip Collection Dust Boot Connections – The Cobra Elite comes standard with a 6” inletOneida Dust Collection Systems – Please See Page 9 for links to manualsCompressor Requirements Machines equipped with Counter Balance (air assist) and/or Pop-up Pins require 90 PSI static pressure. Connection is made by using ¼” male ARO type quick-connect hose coupler.Machines equipped with ATC and Counter Balance (air assist) and/or Pop-up Pins require min.100 PSI and 10 CFM. Single connection (for all) is made by using ¼” male ARO type quickconnect hose coupler.Misc. Considerations - Spoil Board and Work holdingIn most cases, it’s necessary to utilize a spoil board over the machine table top. We recommend that youuse MDF, LDF, or ULDF to increase flow. We also recommend purchasing a spoil board cutter to surfaceyour table. Tooling reference, see page 6.Work holding strategies can vary tremendously depending upon application, machine/optionsconfigurations, personal preference, etc. Common strategies typically involve vacuum, screws, clamping(various), t-tracks clamps, press-fit jigs, adhesives (double-stick tape, glue, and spray adhesives) andpolymer/composite nails. You can find various discussions on these and other topics athttp://camheads.org.44
COBRACOBRAELITEELITESoftware Familiarization CAD/CAM Software - VectricYour new CAMaster machine will ship with Vectric V-carve Pro software (unless otherwisespecified). If you haven’t already done so, we recommend that you download a trial versionavailable at ml as well as review thetraining material/videos at http://support.vectric.com/training-material prior to receiving yourmachine. Additionally, CAMaster offers quarterly in-house training classes covering Vectricsoftware, WinCNC software along with basic machine operation. Please visitwww.camaster.com or our forum at www.camheads.org for more information on these classes. Control Software – WinCNCYour machine Control PC will arrive pre-loaded with WinCNC software/hardware. Advancecopies of WinCNC are not available as WinCNC will only operate on your control PC. This said,you’ll be provided a full run-down on WinCNC as part of your on-line orientation after youreceive your machine.
