How the Safety System Works (Continued)

Do not tamper with any part of the Safety System. The
Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine will not operate properly
if any part of the Safety System is removed or damaged.

The heavy-duty, retractable Safety Electrical Cord is very
durable, but caution should be taken when working close to
the edges of deep cans. Operating with the Safety System
Electrical cord too close to sharp metal edges may cut or
shear the cord off.

Test the Safety System every day before you use the machine.
See the Safety System Test in this section of this manual.

Never test or demonstrate the Safety System by placing
any portion of your body between the Upper and Lower
Tools.

When operating the machine in the Non -Conductive Mode,
be very careful. Do not press the Down Footswitch a second
time with any portion of your body near the tooling.

Always wear the proper eye protection when operating this
Machine.
If the Upper Tool Holder moves up .015 in/0.4 mm to 0 .02 in/0.5 mm, the Safety Sensor will lose the
target in the upper tool holder. Sensors should change state simultaneous otherwise the machine will
bring the ram up. In order to continue in the down motion of the ram the following conditions must be
met in conductive mode:

Conductivity detected between the upper and lower tool

Within safe position set by the TPS.
Or in non-conductive mode:

Foot pedal must be released and pressed a second time

Within safe position set by the TPS.
Before each cycle the state of the 2 sensors in the ram adapter are monitored by the dedicated Safety
Controller to ensure the upper tool holder is installed, and in released state.
In operation, when the Safety Sensors is actuated in Conductive Mode and a non-conductive material is
between the Upper and Lower Tools, the Upper Tool Holder’s downward motion is reversed
immediately and returns to its Up position. If the Safety Sensors is actuated and a conductive material is
between the Upper and Lower Tools, the machine will continue the hardware insertion cycle if inside
the TPS window. The machine will apply the set down force to the conductive material between the
Upper and Lower Tools and then return to its Up position.
