Changeover (operating mode 4)
Definition
This is not a production mode type. The production mode is deactivated in this
operating mode. In order to carry out an automatic changeover, e.g. to a new
production part, a standard control unit can be used to access the clutch and brake
(e.g. to adjust the stroke height).
Note
In this operating mode, the machine manufacturer must ensure that it is not
possible to initiate a hazardous stroke when the press is controlled by a standard
control unit. Safety measures may have to implemented to safeguard the
machine.
