The PCL 600 is designed to be safe. Despite all risk reduction measures, care must always be taken when
operating the machine. Pay special attention to moving parts or machine components that are coloured
orange, these parts/components may move suddenly or unexpectedly. Some risks cannot be entirely
eliminated, the greatest potential residual risks of the are:
Wedging/crushing
Burning
(skin
injury)
Falling
material
Operators should pay special attention to the following residual risks:
WARNING! Sideways infeed chains and buffer chains
Do not approach the chain conveyors during operation, you could
caught between material and the conveyor. Clothing could get caught
by the moving chains or cams.
WARNING! Gripper and infeed conveyor
Do not approach the gripper or conveyor during operation. You could
get hit by moving parts. You could get crushed by moving material. The
gripper may move unexpectedly during the infeed process.
WARNING! Cutting cell
The plasma cutting process generates high temperatures. Material may
be hot for a time after cutting. There is a safety switch on the doors to
the cutting cell, cutting cannot take place if the doors are open. The
doors cannot be opened during the cutting process. The robot arm and
torch can be hot for a time after the cutting process! Always wear
fireproof gloves when handling material or removing scrap pieces.
When cutting stainless steel wait until the smoke has been extracted
before opening the doors to the cutting cell.
WARNING! Parts and scrap
Cut parts and scrap pieces can be hot due to the cutting process!
Always wear flame proof gloves and clothes and wait until the machine
has completely stopped before cleaning or removing pieces. Beware of
parts and scrap pieces falling to the floor, wear safety boots to avoid
injury.
WARNING! Slat belt, outfeed conveyor and pushers
Material leaving the cutting cell will be hot. Do not approach the slat
belt during operation. The pusher removes material from the belt, keep
your hands and clothing away from the belt. Do not approach the
outfeed conveyor during operation, the pusher removes material from
the conveyor, you could be hit or wedged by moving material.
