5.8 Emergency Off

5.8.1 Location

The DMP Flex 350 systems is equipped with 2 emergency off buttons:

•  1 x on the control panel of the printer
•  1 x on the control box inside the process chamber
•  1 x on the enable switch (located at the rear control panel)

5.8.2 What Happens?

Pressing one of these buttons will activate a

Category 0 emergency stop

which will immediately remove all power to the

machine actuators, i.e. an uncontrolled stop.
All printer valves will be closed. The argon will remain sealed in the process chamber and pressure levels will stay at a constant

level. A mechanical pressure release valve will open if the pressure level inside the process chamber continues to rise after an

emergency stop.
Main argon and compressed air valves are closed and pressure is released from the flexible tube.
DMP Deposition closes automatically.
