A Kapex is on my list to be acquired soon. Can someone tell me the height of the bed. I thought I heard something about the bed height being the same as a sys 2 so you could jury rig supports  in the field.  Other dimensions are given in the catalog but not this one. Mine will not be used in the field, but I am trying to see what changes need to be made to my current MS table setup.

The height of the bed depends a little on where you place the Kapex, because it has two sets of feet.

There are rubber pads, upon which it sits when placed on a solid flat surface like a floor. Positioned like this, the bed of my machine is 110mm above the floor

When you place the machine on an MFT, the rubber pads fit into the holes of the MFT and stop the Kapex moving around. In this case, the Kapex now rests on metal lugs, and the bed of my machine is 108 mm above the MFT top (because the rubber feet "sink" into the MFT holes by 2mm.

Thanks Forrest ( and others). This will enable me to get started preparing a home for my Kapex.
