Clamping the workpiece on the measuring table
Workpieces must always be clamped in order to avoid their being
moved, knocked over or falling off of the measuring table. Any un-
clamped workpiece represents a risk to persons, the CMM, and the
workpiece itself.
CAUTION
Risk of injury if an unclamped workpiece falls down.
Crushing and cutting of body parts.
—
Clamp the workpiece on the measuring table before measuring it.
Precautionary measures
Certain safety measures have to be observed to avoid damage to the
CMM and the measuring table.
1 Do not exceed the permissible workpiece weight. See Technical
specifications.
2 Carefully put the workpiece down on the measuring table.
3 Never place the workpiece on the guideway.
The function of the bearings could otherwise be adversely affected.
4 Lift and move heavy workpieces with a lifting device.
—
Approach the CMM slowly in order to avoid damage to the
CMM.
—
Make sure that the workpiece or lifting device does not strike the
CMM. Even light jolts may affect the functioning of the CMM.
—
Lower workpieces of more than 15 kg onto the measuring table
at a maximum speed of 2 mm/s. The CMM may be damaged if
the workpiece is set down abruptly.
5 Put the workpiece down vertically on the measuring table.
6 Do not move the workpiece on the measuring table.
