Perforex BC safety equipment
Main switch
Actuating the black main switch located on the front door of the enclosure
(Fig. 2, item 5) switches the energy supply to your Perforex BC machining
centre on or off. All auxiliary equipment is supplied with the necessary oper-
ating voltage via the enclosure. Consequently, all auxiliary equipment is also
de-energised when the main switch is switched off.
EMERGENCY STOP switch
Actuating the red Emergency Stop switch installed on the operator console
interrupts the voltage supply for all outlets (Fig. 2, item 1). The PLC, PC and
the graphical user interface remain switched on.
Light array / light barrier
A light array / light barrier is provided to protect the work area during the ma-
chining operation. The transmitter (Fig. 2, item 3) and receiver (Fig. 2,
item 4) of the light array / light barrier are located on the side wings of the
safety fence that encloses the work area.
The voltage supply for all outlets is interrupted if this area is entered during
the machining operation. The PLC, PC and the graphical user interface re-
main switched on.
Door safety switch
A closed door protects the rear work area during the machining operation.
This door has a safety interlock (Fig. 2, item 2) that interrupts the voltage
supply for all outputs. The PLC, PC and the graphical user interface remain
switched on if this door is opened during a machining operation.
