Safety System Tests
Step 1: Safety Switch Test Procedure
Experience d personnel must test the Safety System at the
beginning of each work shift. See the Safety System Test in this
section of this manual.
Depending on the ambient shop temperature, you may need
to warm up your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine before
beginning any operations. To do this, turn it on and let it run
for about ten minutes.
1. Turn the Main Disconnect Switch to the On position. The Main Disconnect Switch is located on the
electrical cabinet to the right side of the machine.
2. Start the machine by pressing the On Switch on the touch screen control panel. The green light in
the switch will be displayed and the motor will start. If the machine doesn’t turn on, twist the
Off/E-Stop Switch(s) clockwise until it pops out and try pressing the On Switch again. Using the
touch screen controls, select the Conductive operation.
Except for the Down Footswitch and the Off/E-Stop Switch , all
the other operating controls referred to in the rest of this
procedure are on the Touchscreen Panel. The Touchscreen
Panel is located on the front of the machine cover.
3. Set the Up Travel distance to 40% by touching the touch screen containing the Up Travel value and
then choosing 30 from the entry screen. You can also use the + /- buttons.
4. Keep your hands away from the Tool Holder area. Use the Footswitches to lower or raise the Upper
Tool Holder until it is about 4 in. /100 mm above the Lower Tool Holder. Remove your foot from the
Footswitches and keep your feet away from it.
5. Carefully grasp the sides of the Upper Tool Holder and push it upwards. This upward movement
should actuate the Safety Sensors and the Upper Tool Holder should move up. The movement will
continue until the RAM reaches top of stroke. Remove your hand from the Upper Tool Holder as
soon as the movement starts.
6. If the RAM moves up, the Safety System Sensors are operating. Go to Step 2, “Conductive Mode
Test Procedure.”
