GETTING STARTED

■ Your welcome package includes key documents such as a bill of materials(BOM), your machine assembly
instructions, and–if you ordered MachineMotion–your automation system diagram.

■ Our support team is here for you. Chat live on www.vention.io, call 1-800-940-3617 , or
email support@vention.io

■ We recommend you watch our assembly tutorial videos at www.vention.io/videos

■ Need more help? We offer assembly and integration services through our network of Certified Systems
Integrators.

Unboxing

■ Open every box first. Group similar parts together so you can ■ As you discard the packaging, be careful to not accidentally

■ Consider placing the flattened carboard boxes on the floor

under your components to prevent them from getting scratched

during assembly.

PRO TIPS DURING ASSEMBLY

We recommend these five best practices:

■ You can slide T-nuts in from the end of an extrusion, or insert

them anywhere along the length of the extrusion–no need to
