Unattended Operation
Fully enclosed Haas CNC machines are designed to operate unattended; how -
ever, your machining process may not be safe to operate unmonitored.
As it is the shop owner’s responsibility to set up the machines safely and use
best practice machining techniques, it is also their responsibility to manage
the progress of these methods. The machining process must be monitored to
prevent damage if a hazardous condition occurs.
For example, if there is the risk of fire due to the material machined, then an
appropriate fire suppression system must be installed to reduce the risk of
harm to personnel, equipment and the building. A suitable specialist must be
contacted to install monitoring tools before machines are allowed to run unat-
tended.
It is especially important to select monitoring equipment that can immediately
perform an appropriate action without human intervention to prevent an acci-
dent, should a problem be detected
Run/Setup Key
This key switch is installed on European machines. This key switch selects
between two modes, Run and Setup.
Run mode: All buttons on the control pendant are ignored except Cycle Start,
Feed Hold, and E-stop. The message, ”Run Mode: Button press ignored” will
be displayed whenever a button is ignored.
In Setup mode, all buttons on the control pendant work as expected. This mode
is only used by trained personnel.
