The upper section of a TITAN machine is heavy and contains precision laser components. Mishandling it can cause serious injury or permanent damage.
The TITAN contains an RF tube, and the TITAN Pro contains both an RF tube and a fiber laser. These components are easily damaged by impact. Move the machine slowly and avoid striking it against anything.
Before you begin: power the machine off and unplug it, photograph every wiring connection before you disconnect it, use enough people and a properly rated dolly for the weight, and keep all removed screws and terminals organized so the machine can be reassembled correctly.
This article explains how to separate the upper section of a TITAN machine from its fixed base so the machine can be moved through doorways, elevators, or other tight spaces, and then reassembled in its new location. It applies to the TITAN and TITAN Pro in the 27, 35, 51, and 63 sizes. Step 4 and Step 5 include details that differ by size and model, so follow the variant that matches your machine.

Power off and unplug the machine, then gather the following tools:
Photograph every wiring connection before you disconnect it. The photos are your reference for reconnecting the machine correctly in Step 6.
Removing these parts reduces the weight and makes the machine easier to move. Take a picture of the wiring before you disconnect anything.
