Why Longer B1 Enclosure Installation Matters

Laser engraving and cutting can generate:

• Smoke
• Fine particles
• Odors
• Airborne debris

The Longer B1 enclosure was designed to help direct fumes away from the workspace through an exhaust system and improve operating conditions. The enclosure also helps reduce smoke spread inside indoor environments.

Benefits include:

• Cleaner working environment
• Reduced smoke exposure
• Better airflow
• Reduced dust accumulation
• Additional protection from stray light

For Class IV laser devices, controlled operating environments are strongly recommended.

Step-by-Step Longer B1 Enclosure Installation Guide

Step 1: Connect Beam 1 with Beam 2

Action:

Connect all "Beam 1" components with their respective "Beam 2" components.

Expected Result:

Individual Beam 1+2 assemblies are created.

Important Notes:

Make sure beam identification is correct before continuing. Incorrect identification may affect later steps.

Step 2: Form the First Square Frame

Action:

Take four Beam 1+2 assemblies and connect them with corner clips.

Expected Result:

A square base frame is formed.

Important Notes:

Check alignment before fully securing connections. 

Step 3: Install Vertical Beam 3 Components

The frame begins forming its vertical structure.

Important Notes:

Ensure each beam sits securely.

Step 4: Form the Upper Square Frame

Action:

Connect corner clips and create another square using four Beam 1+2 components.

Expected Result:

The enclosure frame structure becomes complete.

Important Notes:

Avoid twisting the frame.

Step 5: Attach Hook Clips to Beam 3

Action:

Take a Beam 3 component and attach a hook clip to both ends.

Repeat four times.
