Fundamental Safety Instructions
2 Fundamental Safety Instructions
2.1 Intended Use
The Matrix-Plate is a clamping element and is used exclusively for
clamping workpieces on a CNC machining center. A workpiece is
secured to the Matrix-Plate by applying a vacuum and can then be
machined from five sides.
The Matrix-Plate must be used with an operating vacuum of -750
mbar (guide value) (> see the chapter “Pneumatic Connection”).
The product is intended for industrial use.
Intended use includes observing the technical data and the
installation and operating instructions in this manual.
2.2 Non-Intended Use
SCHUNK accepts no liability for damages caused by the use of the
Matrix-Plate for purposes other than those described under
Intended Use.
Non-intended use includes the following:
• In potentially explosive atmospheres
• Unauthorized refits
2.3 Danger Zone
Hazards arise when the Matrix-Plate is clamped to a machine table
and a workpiece is being processed.
Due to the function of the Matrix-Plate in connection with the
machine table and the tool in use, constant vibrations occur. As a
result, mechanical and fluid connections may loosen or even
become disconnected.
Measures for avoiding accidents:
• Ensure that no persons are present in the danger zone.
• Ensure that no persons enter the danger zone during operation.
CAUTION
Vacuum close to the eye
Severe eye injury!
•
Wear eye protection.
•
Do not look into vacuum openings such as suction lines and
hoses.
