Noise Emission
Notes concerning noise emission
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it
is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The
factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of
time exposed and the characteristics of the working environment, such as other
sources of dust and noise - for example, adjacent machines - in other words, the
level of ambient noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary from
country to country.

Introduction to Your CNC Router
CNC is designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s
The
manual in its entirety before assembly or use.
The advantage of the CNC machine is that it can, in most cases, fully machine the
complete job with out it being removed from the table so that you have finished
parts of high accuracy that are totally repeatable.
It can also produce intricate carvings with the purchase of the relevant software.
Nesting is also a valuable feature of CNC machining that saves on waste and
costs.
It is
possible to reduce the amount of different machines in the shop, as the CNC
will perform multiple functions and is a must for cabinetmakers and serious
wood workers.

The gantry straddles the bed and carries the router spindle motion system. It is
moved along the length of the bed by a precision ball screw system that is
controlled by the machine controller.
3. Router Spindle
The router spindle is moved along the gantry by a precision ball screw system
that is controlled by t
he machine controller.
4. Frame
The frame is a heavy welded construction that supports all the other parts of the
machine.

5. Electrical control box
The electrical control box is located on the side of the machine in a dust-free
enclosure.
6. Caterpillar track
The caterpillar track runs along the side of the machine in a trough and carries all
the electrical cables and the spindle cooling tubes.
7. Water pump
The water pump provides coolant for the router spindle motor. Running the
router spindle without the cooling pump running can lead to spindle-bearing
failure.
Additional instructions for the use of the CNC
Like all machines, there is danger associated with the machine. Injury is
frequently caused by lack of knowledge or familiarity. Use this machine with
respect. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur. As the CNC is under the control of the onboard machine
controller, it is important that you are clear of the cutter when operating the
machine.
