This chapter provides important safety information needed for the proper operation
of the unit.
2.2 General safety precautions
General accepted safety precautions, in particular the applicable precautions
relating to the handling of live electrical equipment, must be followed when
operating the system. Failure to observe these safety precautions may result in
personal injury or damage to the product.
It is understood that safety rules within individual companies vary. If a conflict
exists between the material contained in these instructions and the rules of a
company using this system, the more stringent rules take precedence.
2.3 Intended use
The products of the POSITIP 8000 series are advanced digital readouts for use on
manually operated machine tools. In combination with linear and angle encoders,
digital readouts of the POSITIP 8000 series return the position of the tool in more
than one axis and provide further functions for operating the machine tool.
The POSITIP 8000 NC1 software option can automate the production of a
workpiece.
The products of this series
must only be used in commercial applications and in an industrial environment
must be mounted on a suitable stand or holder to ensure the correct and
intended operation of the product
are intended for indoor use in an environment in which the contamination
caused by humidity, dirt, oil and lubricants complies with the requirements of
the specifications
The products support the use of peripheral devices from different
manufacturers. HEIDENHAIN cannot make any statements on the
intended use of these devices. The information on their intended use,
which is provided in the respective documentation, must be observed.
