Thanks for the reminder about passing customs agent details
to factory, nearly forgot...<br>
<br>
Unit is a 60W unit <a

This outfit claim to have been in the laser business for 21
years and have manufactured and shipped very large numbers
of these low cost (!) units.<br>
<br>
This unit was recommended by Russ Sadler from the UK, who is
associated with <a

- he has been very helpful.<br>
<br>
Has been quite the adventure learning about the import
process, dealing with the various entities, and managing the
whole process. Fingers will be firmly crossed.<br>
<br>
May talk about the whole process at the next Robotics
meeting in 10 days.<br>
<br>
Shipping weight is 120kg, and have a man with a van and
300kg lift back lined up for transport, but not expecting
delivery for 2-3 months.<br>

Hi-ho,<br>
<br>
I used ICE for my router a few years back.
(International Cargo Express.)<br>
<br>
Fees were competitive with other folks I rang, and
only issue I had was<br>
picking it up as the shipping crate was 12" bigger
than expected and<br>
would not fit the truck I had originally planned to
get it home with so<br>
at the last minute I had to hire a tuck with a lift
back, although I'm<br>
not sure how large you're going. (The router was a
shade over 600kg in<br>
the crate.)<br>
<br>
Make sure you talk to the local agent first, and make
sure that the<br>
sender will put their name on the documentation as the
local agent.<br>
I've had problems in the past with large FOB things
landing with another<br>
agent listed on the docs and it's a pain in the butt.<br>
<br>
What laser are you getting?<br>
<br>
Good luck. :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers, Chris H.<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
Currently looking at purchasing a laser cutter from
China and wonder<br>
if anyone can recommend a company who can manage the
paperwork, and<br>
shipping process between Lyttelton Port, and my home
in CHCH.<br>
<br>
Unit is probably going to be fitted with a 60W CO2
laser, which is<br>
Class IV. I believe that there aren't any import
restrictions on such<br>
a device since it is packaged within industrial
equipment.<br>
<br>
=============<br>
<br>
From an operational point of view I believe that
the main cutting<br>
chamber must be kept above 10c to avoid
condensation, and associated<br>
corrosion. Any thoughts on anything less daft than
using 100W worth of<br>
incandescent lamps, and a temperature controller ?<br>
<br>
Final issue is to keep cooling water in laser from
freezing. Again,<br>
maybe engage heating lamps under the cooling tank
and associated<br>
circulating pump if water temp drops below 5c ?<br>
<br>
Not sure how many of these thermal issues are real
as the cutter will<br>
live in the garage which is attached to our main
property.<br>
<br>
Comments please.<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
