When you use any SLS equipment, follow all
general safety guidelines in
Safety on page 9.
When you use the BOS, follow the guidelines in
this section as well. They are specific to the BOS.
Lifting and lowering the BOS RCM seal
The RCM seal in the BOS is a sheet metal/ rubber
seal assembly that seals the RCM cylinder during
part breakout. This seal is normally stored in its
upward clip position out of the way of the RCM
entry point. It may not always be in this position.
In order to push the RCM into the BOS for part
breakout, the BOS door should be lifted out of
the way to see if the seal is in the clip near the
work light lens. If not, lift the seal until it clips into
its stored position. The RCM may now be docked.
Using the BOS work platform
Center the work platform directly in front of the
BOS and between the end panels
The BOS main door is designed for easy and
comfortable access to the breakout area. In order
to accommodate some users, a work platform
may be acquired for easier access to the work
area. This platform is 228.9 mm (9 in.) high and
can accommodate a maximum 114 kg (250 lb).
person. The installation of the platform does not
require any tools and is not physically connected
to the BOS. Two wheels are provided to roll one
end of the platform across a floor. The hand-hold
is at the opposite end from the wheels. Hands are
easily placed on the end support for lifting. As
with all lifting, proper lifting techniques must be
used. Care must be taken for safety as in the use
of any work platform. A non-slip surface is
provided, but care must be taken to prevent
slipping, tripping, and falling.
Be
Be careful when handling RCM seal. If
the seal drops from its clip it can
injure your fingers or hands. Also, do
not to place your hands on the entry
side of the RCM when docking. A
shear hazard exists for hands and
fingers during docking.
