• Lifting or moving the Equator should only be attempted by two people, using the-hand hold
locations provided in the base casting (1).
• Do not move or lift the machine by the top casting (5), the support arms of the constraint
mechanism (9), the support legs (4), or the three drive struts (e.g. by holding the orange protectors
or any part of the drive strut mechanism) (6)
• Due to the collision risk, always engage the stop button or activate Manual mode (15) when the
user is present within the machine volume. Disengage when the Equator is ready to operate and
the operator is clear of the machine volume.
• Potential finger traps and pinch points exist between:
• Support arm (9) and casting (5).
• Support arm (9) and constraint mechanism (12).
• Hooke’s joints (8) and drive body (6).
• Platform (3) and piece part (14).
• Platform (3) and constraint mechanism (12).
• In the centre between the struts of the constraint mechanisms (12).
• Users should not touch the Equator in these locations.
• When connecting a joystick or a stop button (15) to the Equator, it must be disconnected from the
mains power supply. Not doing so can cause damage to the circuitry.
• Never keep an additional non-connected stop button (15) or joystick in the vicinity of the system.
• On systems already fitted with the SP25 probe (2), the SP25M body contains high power LEDs
which emit invisible infrared radiation. The user cannot be exposed to this radiation unless the
probe is mechanically damaged.
• Please refer to SP25 Installation and Integration Guide, H-1000-5104.
• To avoid unexpected movements of the Equator, always recalibrate all probing tools after importing
a new environment into the UCCserver Equator.
• If this equipment is not used in its intended manner, any protection provided may be impaired and
the warranty may become void.
• CE mark and serial number (10) are located underneath the support arm for the constraint
mechanism (9).
• To warn users of potential risks involved with moving parts, active parts are coloured bright orange
(3), (6), (7), (9).
• During homing, the machine is in automatic mode and will only halt if the physical stop button is
engaged. (15)
