Introduction
The Dimension 200is a router/engraver for three-dimensional
signage created for use with the GRAPHIX ADVANTAGEor
other computer systems along with ART Pathsoftware.
The ART Path Software Option allows the GRAPHIX
ADVANTAGE to fully control the routing operation, enabling
you to send jobs directly from ART Path on the GRAPHIX
ADVANTAGE through the ADVANTAGE RouterControl
(ARC) station.
The Dimension 200 can cut designs from a variety of materials, as
well as draw all types of text or graphics. In addition, the
Dimension 200 is an excellent solution for creating ADA-
compliant (Americans with Disabilities Act) signage.
Warning: THE DIMENSION 200 IS A COMPUTER-

OPERATED ONLY BY TRAINED OPERATORS. THE SAFETY
GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED AT
ALL TIMES TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY.

Router Requirements
This section discusses the work space, equipment, and electrical
requirements for the Dimension 200 router system.
Work Space Requirements
Warning: THERE MUST BE SUFFICIENT SPACE PROVIDED
IN THE PRODUCTION AREA AROUND THE ROUTER FOR
MATERIAL STORAGE AND SAFE ACCESS FROM ALL
SIDES.
A 3-ft. clearance on all sides of the router stand is the
recommended minimum work area. In addition, all equipment
should be kept reasonably close together. The T-Vacblower
must be located close to the rear of the table.
CAUTION: Do not place a router in a damp work area. The
operating environment should fall within a temperature range
between 32 - 99°
°°
°F (0 and 37oC) and within a relative humidity
range between 0 and 70%.
Equipment Requirements
ROUTER STAND
A 48 in. square table or stand (with 3-ft. clearance on all sides, or
more if the paneling feature is used) is needed. If the stand is not
used, the table must be a heavy duty table able to support 300 lbs.
ELECTRICAL BOX
Gerber recommends placing the electrical box on the table beside
the unit or under the table. The power switch must be easily
accessible. Do not set the box directly on concrete floors because
of condensation potential. The electrical box must also be
protected from any coolant.
4Dimension 200
HIGH FREQUENCY SPINDLE OPTION AND SPEED CONTROLLER
The Speed Controller is used only with the High Frequency
Spindle Option. Mount the Speed Controller vertically a
minimum of 3 ft. away from the system, with the controls easily
accessible. Do not set the Speed Controller directly on concrete
floors because of condensation potential. The Speed Controller
must also be protected from coolant.
MIST COOLANT COMPRESSED AIR
The optional Mist Coolant System requires 30-100 psi of
compressed air. The compressor is purchased separately.
CHIP REMOVAL SYSTEM
The Chip Removal System requires a wet/dry shop vacuum with
a 2 1/2" hose diameter to attach to the Chip Removal System.
T-VAC VACUUM SYSTEM (FACTORY-INSTALLED)
The optional T-Vac Vacuum System requires a vacuum blower
and filter (purchased and installed separately) and a dedicated
line installed by a licensed industrial electrician. The vacuum
filter must be placed directly under the rear of the router table,
with the vacuum blower nearby. To obtain additional
information on the vacuum blower, please contact your
authorized Gerber distributor.
Electrical Requirements
The Dimension 200 has specific power requirements which must
be supplied for the system to work properly. Gerber recommends
that all power requirements be installed by a licensed industrial
electrician.
Note: The High Frequency Spindle Speed Controller and T-Vac
Vacuum System electrical service MUST be installed by a licensed
industrial electrician.
