Formlabs Fuse Sift Sifter Rework Kit

Formlabs Fuse Sift Sifter Rework Kit

The flange and sifting assembly of the Formlabs Fuse Sift post-processing station ensure efficient separation of sintered particles from the polymer powder, which can be reused in the production cycle. During regular operation, the mechanism is constantly affected by vibrations and the abrasive properties of fine nylon powder. As a result, the fasteners and moving elements of the flange gradually lose their initial operational characteristics. The Fuse Sift Sifter Rework Kit is designed to restore the sifting mechanism and replace worn components. Using the kit helps restore the assembly's proper efficiency, maintain a stable sifting speed of the material, and avoid a decrease in the overall productivity of SLS equipment.

The need for repair may arise in case of noticeable wear of fasteners, the appearance of atypical vibrations during operation, the emergence of gaps along the contour of the flange, or a slowdown in the passage of powder through the sifting mesh. Installation and replacement of components should be carried out according to the official step-by-step Formlabs instructions. It provides the procedure for dismantling worn elements, installing parts of the repair kit, and correct adjustment of the updated assembly.
