SAFETY

GB WARNINGS

SAFETY NOTE

Each ACR2 port contains spring-loaded components which cause pinch
hazards if covers are removed.

Do not dismantle ACR2 ports or remove them from their mounting plates.

Return defective units to an authorised Renishaw Customer Service Centre.

Pinch hazards exist between moving parts and between moving and static
parts. Do not hold any part of the Autochange system during movements or
during automatic probe changes.

Beware of unexpected movement. The user should remain outside of the full
working envelope of probe head / extension / probe combinations.

In all applications involving the use of machine tools or CMMs, eye protection
is recommended.

There are no user serviceable parts inside Renishaw ACR2 units. Return
defective units to an authorised Renishaw Customer Service Centre.

For instructions regarding the safe cleaning of Renishaw products, refer to
the MAINTENANCE section of the relevant product documentation.

Refer to the machine supplier's operating instructions.

It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to ensure that the user is made
aware of any hazards involved in operation, including those mentioned in
Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure that adequate guards and
safety interlocks are provided.

Under certain circumstances the probe signal may falsely indicate a probe
seated condition. Do not rely on probe signals to stop machine movement.

The expected method of providing an emergency stop for Renishaw products
is to remove power.

SAFETY

F AVERTISSEMENTS

NOTE DE SECURITE

Chaque port ACR2 contient des composants à ressort pinçants. Faire
attention lorsque les couvercles sont retirés.

Ne pas démonter les ports ACR2 ou les ôter de leurs plaques de montage.

Renvoyer toute machine défectueuse à un Centre Après Vente Renishaw
agréé.

L'effet de pincement dû au mouvement des pièces mobiles entre elles ou
avec des pièces fixes présente des dangers. Ne pas retenir de pièce du
système Autochange en cours de mouvement ou au cours d'une opération
de changement automatique de palpeur.

Attention aux mouvements brusques. L'utilisateur doit toujours rester en
dehors de la zone de sécurité des installations multiples tête de
palpeur/rallonge/palpeur.

Le port de lunettes de protection est recommandé pour toute application sur
machine-outil et MMC.

Les dispositifs ACR2 Renishaw ne possèdent pas de pièces pouvant être
employées par l'utilisateur. Renvoyer toute machine défectueuse à un Centre
Après Vente Renishaw agréé.

Les conseils de nettoyage en toute sécurité des produits Renishaw figurent
dans la section MAINTENANCE de votre documentation.

Consulter le mode d’emploi du fournisseur de la machine.

Il incombe au fournisseur de la machine d’assurer que l’utilisateur prenne
connaissance des dangers d'exploitation, y compris ceux décrits dans la
documentation du produit Renishaw, et d'assurer que des protections et
verrouillages de sûreté adéquats soient prévus.

Dans certains cas, il est possible que le signal du palpeur indique à tort que
le palpeur est au repos. Ne pas se fier aux signaux du palpeur qui ne
garantissent pas toujours l’arrêt de la machine.

La procédure habituelle d’arrêt d'urgence des produits Renishaw est la mise
hors tension.

SAFETY

D ACHTUNG

SICHERHEITSHINWEIS

Jeder ACR2-Anschluß enthält federgespannte Bauteile, die beim Entfernen
von Abdeckungen eine Quetschgefahr darstellen.

ACR2-Anschlüsse sollten nicht auseinandergenommen oder von ihren
Montageplatten abgenommen werden.

Im Falle von Mängeln sind diese Geräte an Ihren Renishaw Kundendienst zu
senden.

Zwischen beweglichen und zwischen beweglichen und statischen Teilen
besteht eine Einklemmgefahr. Bei Bewegungen oder während des
automatischen Tasterwechsels keinen Teil des automatischen
Tasterwechselsystems festhalten.

Auf unerwartete Bewegungen achten. Der Anwender soll sich immer
außerhalb des Meßtasterkopf-Arm-Meßtaster-Bereichs aufhalten.

Bei der Bedienung von Werkzeugmaschinen oder Koordinatenmeßanlagen
ist Augenschutz empfohlen.

ACR2-Einheiten von Renishaw enthalten keine vom Benutzer zu wartenden
Teile. Im Falle von Mängeln sind diese Geräte an Ihren Renishaw
Kundendienst zu senden.

Anleitungen über die sichere Reinigung von Renishaw-Produkten sind in
Kapitel MAINTENANCE (WARTUNG) in der Produktdokumentation
enthalten.

Beziehen Sie sich auf die Wartungsanleitungen des Lieferanten.

Es obliegt dem Maschinenlieferanten, den Anwender über alle Gefahren, die
sich aus dem Betrieb der Ausrüstung, einschließlich der, die in der Renishaw
Produktdokumentation erwähnt sind, zu unterrichten und zu versichern, daß
ausreichende Sicherheitsvorrichtungen und Verriegelungen eingebaut sind.

Unter gewissen Umständen könnte das Meßtastersignal falscherweise
melden, daß der Meßtaster nicht ausgelenkt ist. Verlassen Sie sich nicht
allein auf Sondensignale, um sich über Maschinenbewegungen zu
informieren.

Renishaw-Produkte sollen im Notfall durch Trennen der Stromversorgung
gestoppt werden.

inerenti al funzionamento della stessa, compresi quelli riportati nelle istruzioni
della Renishaw, e di mettere a disposizione i ripari di sicurezza e gli
interruttori di esclusione.

E' possibile, in certe situazioni, che la sonda emetta erroneamente un
segnale che la sonda è in posizione. Evitare di fare affidamento sugli impulsi
trasmessi dalla sonda per arrestare la macchina.

Lo stop d'emergenza per i prodotti Renishaw è l'isolamento
dall'alimentazione elettrica.

SIKKERHEDSBEMÆRKNING

Hver ACR2-port indeholder fjederbelastede komponenter, som medfører
klemningsrisiko, hvis dækslerne fjernes.

ACR2-porte må ikke skilles ad eller fjernes fra monteringspladerne.
Send alle defekte enheder til Renishaws kundeservicecenter.

Der er risiko for at blive klemt mellem bevægelige dele og mellem
bevægelige og statiske dele. Hold ikke fast i nogen af Autochange-systemet
dele, når disse er i bevægelse, eller under automatisk sondeudskiftning.

Pas på uventede bevægelser. Brugeren bør holde sig uden for hele
sondehovedets/forlængerens/sondens arbejdsområde.

I alle tilfælde, hvor der anvendes værktøjs- og koordinatmålemaskiner,
anbefales det at bære øjenbeskyttelse.

Renishaw ACR2-enheder indeholder ingen dele, der kan serviceres af
brugeren. Send alle defekte enheder til Renishaws kundeservicecenter.

Se afsnittet MAINTENANCE (VEDLIGEHOLDELSE) i
produktdokumentationen for at få instruktioner til sikker rengøring af
Renishaw-produkter.

Det er maskinleverandørens ansvar at sikre, at brugeren er bekendt med
eventuelle risici i forbindelse med driften, herunder de risici, som er nævnt i
Renishaws produktdokumentation, og at sikre, at der er tilstrækkelig
afskærmning og sikkerhedsblokeringer.

Under visse omstændigheder kan sondesignalet ved en fejl angive, at
sonden står stille. Stol ikke på, at sondesignaler stopper maskinens
bevægelse.

Den forventede metode til nødstop af Renishaw-produkter er afbrydelse
strømforsyningen.

NL WAARSCHUWINGEN

VEILIGHEIDSMELDING

Elke ACR2 poort bevat veerbelaste componenten die gevaarlijk zijn als ze
worden gedemonteerd.

De ACR2 poorten mogen niet worden gedemonteerd of van hun
montageplaten worden verwijderd.

U kunt defecte units naar een erkend Renishaw Klantenservice Centrum
brengen of toezenden.

Er is risico op klemmen tussen de bewegende onderdelen onderling en
tussen bewegende en niet-bewegende onderdelen. Tijdens bewegingen of
tijdens het automatisch verwisselen van tasters mogen geen delen van het
automatische tasterwisselsysteem worden vastgehouden.

Oppassen voor onverwachte beweging. De gebruiker dient buiten het
werkende signaalveld van de sondekop/extensie/sonde combinaties te
blijven.

Het dragen van oogbescherming wordt tijdens gebruik van
machinewerktuigen en CMM’s aanbevolen.

De Renishaw ACR2 bevat geen onderdelen die door de gebruiker kunnen
worden onderhouden. U kunt defecte units naar een erkend Renishaw
Klantenservice Centrum brengen of toezenden.

Voor het veilig reinigen van Renishaw produkten wordt verwezen naar het
hoofdstuk MAINTENANCE (ONDERHOUD) in de produktendocumentatie.

De bedieningsinstructies van de machineleverancier raadplegen.

De leverancier van de machine is ervoor verantwoordelijk dat de gebruiker
