Estimated time: 10–15 minutes • Skill: Basic
This guide explains how to install the strain relief kit on the lens carriage of your Epilog Laser system. The kit includes a harness clamp and mounting hardware designed to guide and secure the autofocus and camera cables as they move with the lens carriage. By installing this kit, you’ll reduce cable strain, prevent mechanical stress, and improve the long-term reliability of your machine’s internal wiring.
To complete this process, you’ll need a Phillips head screwdriver and a 3/32″ hex key. Follow the step-by-step instructions below and refer to the photos for visual guidance. The installation takes approximately 10–15 minutes and requires only basic tools and skills.
Installation
-
Remove screws and cable clamps.
Remove 3–4 Phillips head screws and any cable clamps securing the harness to the lens carriage.
-
Install standoffs.

Fasten hex screws.
Install and tighten the two 3/32″ hex screws to secure the clamp to the standoffs.
-
Route the harness.
