2 Security Advice
2.1 General
-
Do not operate the machine in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
-
The machine is fully enclosed. The housing protects you from moving tools, reduces
the noise level and holds back chips.
-
The hood is locked during operation and cannot be opened. Please do not change or
remove this mechanism.
-
The safety circuit includes soft and hardware. Therefore the machine will only work with
the appropriate and proper working control-core on the circuit-board (only type 2 and 3).
-
In case of emergency, you will find an emergency stop switch on the front side of your
machine. It will interrupt power supply for the power amplifier. However, communication
between software and the machine will remain active for error diagnostics.
-
Because of an increased risk when operating the machine in test-mode only briefed
experts may make use of the key switch. Please keep the spare key shut away.
-
All 230V-consumers are connected in a unipolar way you have to assume that they are
not necessarily free from tension when switched off.
-
Please provide sufficient ventilation to remove dusts and gases resulting from the
processing of the material.
-
If you want to use a laser for measuring application, only use appropriate class-2-
devices and follow the respective technical rules.
-
Do not use running water for cooling but a spray-cooling system with a spray-fog
causing the cooling effect (look accessories). Drop formation and their gathering below
the mounting table must be avoided.
-
Do not use spiritus as a coolant (danger of explosion!).
-
Regularly clean the machine from chips and dust deposits.
2.2 Ageing of safety panes
An examination conducted by the „Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken e.V.”
(VDW) and the Employer's Liability Insurance Association has led to new discoveries about
the ageing of polycarbonate beeing used for safety panes of machine tools. Altough
polycarbonate has proved perfectly well for that purpose, these panes are losing their ability
to protect against flying parts, particulary under the influence of cutting fluids.
Polycarbonate panes that are protected from both sides against the effects of chips, cutting
fluids, cleaning agents, vapours, etc. provide the best resistibility on the long term.
We would like to point out that safety panes made from polycarbonate regularly
have to be examined with respect to their protectability and, if necessary, be replaced.
Beeing the operator of such machines it is within your duty of care. Such saftey panes, in
the future, will be classified as wear parts. Furthermore you are commited to indicate the
respective matter to a possible buyer of the machine.
Despite these new discoveries, polycarbonate as a material for safety panes within the field
of mechanical engineering still will be used for it´s extremely high protectability. We
therefore can provide you any time with ready to be installed spare panes. If required, we
can also offer you a retrofitkit as an additional protection on the operator´s side, in order to
increase the required exchange intervals.
