<h3>Additional Machine Options:</h3>
<p><strong>Consumable kits</strong></p>
<p>Consumable kits are available which provide a starting stock of items that are recommended for a range of LASER cutting applications. If a different combination of items is desired, please contact the sales department for a quotation specific to those items.</p>
<p><strong>Remote CNC Control Station</strong></p>
<p>The Remote CNC Control Station is located at the rear of the LASER enclosure and includes dual monitors and a keyboard. The main CNC control screen and video feed is mirrored. This system allows for LASER operation when loading or unloading the pallets.</p>
<p><strong>Pop-up ball transfer sheet loading assist system</strong></p>
<p>The pop-up ball transfer sheet loading assist system is designed to allow material to be easily moved to the material reference stops. Ball transfers will raise to a location above the pallet slats. Once the operator locates the work piece against the stops, the ball transfers will retract so that the work piece rests directly on the slats, in the correct zero location. The system is located below the outside pallet and will work with either pallet in the pallet load location. This system is available for 510 and 613 configurations. Consult with your Piranha sales representative if another size is requested.</p>
<p><strong>Laminar Flow Box</strong></p>
<p>Piranha recommends preparing an optics servicing area located away from manufacturing area. This area must have minimum air movement and a dust free environment. For best results, we recommend purchase of a laminar flow box located in an office area.</p>
<p>NOTE: Optics contamination is the leading cause of premature cutting head failure. It is important that optics, such as cover slides, are changed in an extremely clean environment. This area will also be used for on-site cutting head maintenance (to be done by our technicians).</p>
<p><strong>CAM Programming and Nesting Software</strong></p>
<p>CNC Programming of the Piranha FLEX requires CAM software capable of supporting the advanced functions of the machine. The customer is responsible for all costs associated with the development of any new post processor from their selected CAM software vendor. Piranha will provide any information required for the post processor development and will verify that the NC code samples created by that post processor are functional. Requests for information and NC code samples for testing must be received by Piranha eight (8) weeks prior to the scheduled machine shipment.</p>
<p>If extra start-up time is required by Piranha to work with the CAM provider and to test the NC code during or after the machine installation, the additional Piranha service time and expenses will be invoiced to the customer at Piranha’s standard service rates</p>
<h3>Preventative Maintenance Program (Optional)</h3>
<p>Protect your investment and keep your Piranha CNC Fiber Laser performing at its best with our <b>Preventative Maintenance (PM) Program</b>. Designed and delivered by Piranha’s highly trained Field Service Engineers, this program provides scheduled inspections, adjustments, and system checks to ensure maximum uptime, cut quality, and machine life.</p>

<h3>Assist Gas Cutting Systems (Optional)</h3>
<p><strong>Air Assist Gas Cutting Systems</strong></p>
<p>Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are the most common assist gases used when cutting metals with a fiber LASER. Air is a combination of both O2 (21%) and N2 (78%), small amounts of argon and carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases and water vapor.</p>
<p>Air cutting provides many of the benefits of N2 cutting along with increased cutting speeds in thicknesses 10ga (0.135”) and thinner and significantly lower cutting gas costs.</p>
<p>Air used in LASER cutting must be available with the correct purity, dryness, pressure, and flow. Typical shop air compressor systems are unable to deliver the air quality and performance necessary. A dedicated air compressor system is required.</p>
