Unless there is an
emergency, always
shut down SLS process
machines in a safe,
orderly way.
Proper shut down procedures for each SLS
process machine are found in the following
sections of this guide:
SLS System – Shutting Down the SLS System on
page 192 of the SLS System section.
IRS – Shutting Down the IRS on page 168 of the
IRS & IPC section.
BOS – Shutting Down the BOS on page 232 of the
BOS section.
Depressurization
The SLS system, IRS, and BOS all connect to
facility compressed air. In addition, the IRS
pressurizes the IPC container.
Normal shutdown requires proper
depressurization. Be sure to follow the
depressurization instructions for the individual
machines in the shutdown procedures above.
Only use E-stop to shut down a
machine in an emergency. Shutting
down a machine with E-stop can
result in data loss and material waste.
See Emergency
Shutdown on page 40
for SLS process machine
emergency shutdown
instructions.
