Safety Functions
The use and operation of the machine must only be initiated when all safety functions are fully
present and in an operable condition. Defective safety functions and protection equipment may
lead to unsafe and hazardous situations. In case that a risk to safety is found, do the following:
1. Stop the machine immediately: it can be brought to a safe stop by either the touch screen,
activating the Cancel-function, or by the emergency stop button.
2. Disconnect the supply sources to prevent the IntelliXcap from restarting.
E-Stop
The emergency stop button is a safety device designed for use as a complementary protective
measure. As an example, the operator can press the emergency stop function to cease all
mechanical movement of the IntelliXcap if a hazardous situation arises that could cause personal
injury, or damage to the machine or equipment.
When activating the emergency stop button, the status will appear on the operator monitor:
Error
238 – Emergency stop
Test the emergency stop function before commissioning the IntelliXcap for use and after each
installation or re-installation.
At minimum, the function must be visually checked and activated at least every six months.
Safety Switch
There is a safety switch installed on the access door that, if the door is not completely closed, the
IntelliXcap will not function. Opening of the access door while tool is in use initiates an immediate
stop function of all moving parts.
This function protects operators against hazardous moving parts accessible through the front of
the IntelliXcap.
