INTERLOCK FUNCTIONS THAT ENSURE SAFE OPERATION
This machine features the following interlock functions to ensure the operators safety.
Before starting the machine, always make sure these functions are valid. Mori Seiki is
not responsible for accidents that occur as a result of the machine being operated
without first validating these interlock functions.
<Front door interlock>
The front door interlock function disables manual operation
such as spindle rotation and the cycle start of automatic
operation while the front door is open.
If a workpiece flies out of the chuck due to improper clamping
or a programming error, the operator will be safe because the
front door is closed. The front door interlock function also
prevents any accident caused by starting spindle rotation
while the operator is touching the chuck or workpiece.
DOOR INTERLOCK FUNCTION
<Chuck interlock>
The chuck interlock function disables spindle rotation and the
cycle start of automatic operation while the chuck is
unclamped. If the spindle is started while the workpiece is
not clamped by the chuck, there is a danger that the
workpiece will disengage from the chuck.
The tailstock spindle interlock function ensures operator
safety by preventing such accidents.
<Tailstock spindle interlock
(for machines with tailstock)>
The tailstock spindle interlock function disables the cycle
start of memory (tape) operation when the tailstock spindle is
in the IN position (inside the tailstock body) or when it is in
the OUT position due to inching operation while the tailstock
spindle interlock is valid.
If the memory (tape) operation is started while a workpiece is
not held by the center (tailstock spindle), there is a danger
that the workpiece will disengage from the chuck.
The tailstock spindle interlock function ensures operator
safety by preventing such accidents.
