About Emergency Stops
Important: Learn all safety precautionary controls on the machine.
Depending on the model of machine, there are emergency shutdown (E-
Stop) switches located at key points around the machine.
The E-Stop switches are to be used when the machine is out of control or
is about to damage personnel or equipment.
When an E-Stop switch is activated, high voltage power is cut to the
machine. The motors will stop, but power to the PLC and the Operator
Station Screen will remain on.

If an E-Stop is activated, use the following procedure to recover, after the cause of the emergency
stop is resolved:
1.

• Gate Latches: Sensors are located on the gates surrounding the machine. If a gate

• Laser Safety Scanners: These are located on the front of the machine. These
assemblies create an invisible safety field stopping the machine if the operator
enters the cutting area of the machine.
• Safety Curtain: This creates an invisible curtain on all entrances to the machine.
