Install the Enclosure

Before You Begin

Required Tools

Install the Enclosure Panels

To install the enclosure panels, work from the left to the right of the machine.
To make it easier to install all components, don't install the side windows until later in the procedure.
Keep all screws one quarter-turn loose while installing the enclosure panels. This makes aligning panels easier. Once you're done installing the enclosure, fully tighten all screws.

Install the Left Rear Panel

Install the Left Side Panel

Install the Left Side Window Retainers

Install the Left Front Panel

Install the Enclosure Splice Plate (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Find the three installed M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws on the right side of the electrical cabinet.
  2. Remove and set aside the three M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.
  3. Attach the right rear side panel to the electrical cabinet with the three M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws that you set aside in Step 2.

Install the Right Rear Panel (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Find the three installed M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws along the top of the electrical cabinet.
  2. Remove and set aside the three M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.
  3. Attach the right rear top panel to the electrical cabinet with the three M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws that you set aside in Step 2.

Install the Right Side Panel

Install the Right Side Window Retainers (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

To make it easier to install all components, don't install the side windows yet. Wait until later in the procedure.

  1. Push a strip of rubber window trim on to the edges of:
    • Two light gray vertical window retainers
    • One light gray horizontal window retainer

      When finished, use shears or a knife to cut the excess trim.

  2. Loosely install two vertical window retainers (light gray) on both sides of the right side panel's window opening with two sets of three M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.

    Don't fully tighten the screws. Leaving the window retainers loose makes it easier to install the side windows.

  3. Loosely attach one horizontal window retainer (light gray) to the bottom of the right side panel's window opening with two M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.

Install the Right Front Panel

Install the Left Top Panel (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Attach the left top panel to the panels on the left side of the enclosure with 12 M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.

Install the Right Top Panel (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

Install the Top Panel (PCNC 440 Only)

  1. Loosely attach two short, vertical window retainers to both sides of the top panel with three sets of 10-32 × 3/8-inch Phillips screws.
  2. Loosely attach the long, vertical window retainer to the top panel with three 10-32 × 3/8-inch Phillips screws.

  3. Remove and discard the protective plastic film from the window.
  4. Slide the window into the three installed window retainers. Take care not to scratch the window.
  5. Attach the top panel assembly to the enclosure with 12 10-32 × 3/8-inch Phillips screws, as shown in the following image.

Install the Upper Front Panel

Install the Front Lower Panel

Install the Rear Splash Shield (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  • Attach the rear splash shield to the right chip pan below the electrical cabinet with four M6 × 1.0 - 12 screws.

Install the Linear Rails (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

Assemble the Linear Rails

  1. Find the four linear rails provided: use the two shorter linear rails on the right side of the enclosure. Use the two longer linear rails on the left side of the enclosure.
  2. Assemble each linear rail in the following order:
    1. Slide one linear rail mount onto one end of the linear rail.

      Don't completely tighten the clamping screw on the linear rail mount. It's easier to install and align the linear rails with loose clamping screws.

    2. Slide one bumper onto the linear rail.
    3. Slide two linear bearings onto the linear rail.

    4. Slide one bumper onto the opposite end of the linear rail.
    5. Slide one linear rail mount onto the opposite end of the linear rail.

      Make sure that the linear rail mount's clamping screw faces the same direction as the linear rail mount that you installed in Step A.

  3. Repeat Step 2 for the remaining three linear rails.

Install the Linear Assemblies

  1. Align one short linear rail assembly to the two holes on the inside of both the right front panel and the front lower panel.

    The linear rail mount's clamping screws must face up.

  2. Attach the short linear rail assembly to the outside of both the right front panel and the front lower panel with two sets of two M6 × 1.0 - 12 screws.

  3. Repeat Steps 1 to 2 for the remaining three linear rails, with the linear rail mount's clamping screws face in the following directions:

    • Up on the lower linear assemblies
    • Down on the upper linear assemblies

Install the Front Door Assemblies

Install the Door Latch (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Attach the door latch strike plate on the left front door with a Phillips screwdriver and two M3 screws.
  2. Attach the door latch in the pocket on the right door with two M3 screws.

Install the Floodlights (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Use a multimeter to verify the ground connection of both floodlights:
    1. Measure the resistance between the floodlight's power connector ground pin (the middle pin on the three-prong connector) and the floodlight's bracket screw.
    2. Read the OHMS value that displays. The value should be less than 5 OHMS. If the value is greater than 5 OHMS, don't install the floodlight. Email support@tormach.com to contact Tormach Technical Support for guidance on how to proceed.
  2. Position one floodlight over the opening on the right top panel. Take care not to drop the light through the opening into the enclosure.
  3. Attach one floodlight retainer to either side of the lights with two sets of two M5 × 0.8 - 10 screws.

    Verify that the floodlight is centered over the opening before hand-tightening the floodlight retainers.

  4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to install the floodlight on the left side.
  5. Connect the short power cable from the Enclosure Cable Kit to the plug on the right floodlight.
  6. Connect the long power cable from the Enclosure Cable Kit to the plug on the left floodlight.
  7. Route the power cables from the floodlights to the electrical cabinet.
  8. Plug the floodlights into the Enclosure Lights outlet on the back of the electrical cabinet.
  9. Attach the floodlights' power cables to the five wire tie anchors on the left and right top panels with five wire ties.

Install the Side Windows

Install the Access Panel (1100M/MX, 770M/MX Only)

  1. Push three round hole plugs into the three holes on the left rear panel.

    Round hole plugs pushed into the left rear panel.

  2. Push a strip of rubber trim to the edge of the access panel opening on the left rear panel. Verify that the trim covers the entire perimeter of the opening. When finished, use shears or a knife to cut the excess trim.
  3. Find the threaded hole toward the top center of the left rear panel. Then, loosely install one M5 × 0.8 - 10 screw from the inside of the enclosure.

    This screw supports the access panel while you install the remaining fasteners.
