Safety

Information to the user

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

Information for the machine supplier

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

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

The automatic probe cover (APCA-45) system must

be installed by a competent person, observing relevant
safety precautions. Before starting work, ensure that
the machine tool is in a safe condition with the power

switched OFF and the power supply to the HSI or HSI-C

disconnected.

Warnings

The following residual risks of this device need to be
managed to an acceptable level by the integrator:

• Noise levels: this device emits noise as an essential

part of its operation and has been measured at

76dB.

• Pinch point: when this device operates there is a

pinching hazard between the stylus cube and the
cover

• Care must be taken when installing or cleaning the

product inside the machine tool to ensure sharp
objects are avoided.

• Ejection of debris: when air bleed is activated debris

(including metal particles) can be ejected from the
cover

viii

Before you begin (continued)

• Installation of this pneumatically powered device
presents foreseeable pneumatic and mechanical
hazards so should only be installed by a competent
person.

• The noise level, pinch point and air bleed hazards
identified above will need to be managed during
maintenance of the machine or this device.

General warnings

GB - safety

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

• Remove power before performing any maintenance
operations.

• 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.

BG - Раздел по безопасност

•

Препоръчва се защита на очите във всички

приложения, включващи използване на машини

или CMM.

• Преди извършване на всякакви операции по

поддръжката да се изключва захранването.

• Отговорност на доставчика на машината е

да гарантира, че на потребителя са обяснени

всякакви рискове по време на работа,

включително онези, упоменати в документацията

на продуктите Renishaw и да гарантира

осигуряване на съответни предпазители и

обезопасителни блокировки.

• При определени обстоятелства сигналът от

пробника може да посочва фалшиво състояние

на опрян пробник. Да не се разчита на сигналите

от пробника за спиране движението на машината.

• Очакваният метод за осигуряване на аварийно

спиране за продуктите Renishaw е да се изключи

захранването.

CS - Upozornění

• Při jakékoli práci s obráběcími stroji nebo
souřadnicovými měřicími stroji (CMM) je doporučeno
používat ochranu očí.

Before you begin (continued)

ix

• Před započetím jakékoliv údržby zařízení odpojte
napájení.

• Povinností dodavatele stroje je informovat uživatele o
nebezpečích spojených s provozem i o nebezpečích
zmiňovaných v dokumentaci k produktům
společnosti Renishaw a zajistit dostatečné ochranné

beskyttelsesbriller.

• Afbryd strømforsyningen, før der foretages vedlige­holdelse.

• 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 af sikkerhedsblokeringer.

• Under visse omstændigheder kan sondesignalet ved
en fejl angive, at sonden står stille. Stol ikke på, at
probesignaler vil stoppe maskinens bevægelse.

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

EL - Ασφάλεια

• Σε όλες τις εφαρμογές που συνεπάγονται τη χρήση

εργαλείων μηχανημάτων και εξαρτημάτων CMM,

συνιστάται η χρήση συσκευής προστασίας των

ματιών.

• Αποσυνδέστε το μηχάνημα από το ηλεκτρικό

ρεύμα πριν επιχειρήσετε οποιεσδήποτε εργασίες

συντήρησης.

• Αποτελεί ευθύνη του προμηθευτή του μηχανήματος

να εξασφαλίσει ότι ο χρήστης είναι ενήμερος για

εγχειρίδια του προϊόντος της Renishaw. Είναι

επίσης ευθύνη του να εξασφαλίσει ότι υπάρχουν

τα απαιτούμενα προστατευτικά καλύμματα και οι

συνδέσεις ασφαλείας.

• Υπό ορισμένες συνθήκες το σήμα του ανιχνευτή

μπορεί να υποδεικνύει λανθασμένη ένδειξη

τοποθέτησης του ανιχνευτή. Μη βασίζεστε στα

σήματα ανιχνευτή για τη διακοπή της κίνησης του

μηχανήματος.

x

Before you begin (continued)

• Masina tarnija vastutuseks on tagada, et kasutajat
teavitatakse masina tööga kaasnevatest ohtud­est, kaasa arvatud need ohud, mida on mainitud
Renishaw toote dokumentides, ning samuti tagada,
et masinaga oleks kaasas korrektsed kaitsepiirded
ja turvalukud.

• Teatud tingimustel võib sondi signaal ekslikult näida­ta, nagu oleks sond paigale asetunud. Ärge lähtuge
masina liikumise peatamisel sondi signaalidest.

• Mielőtt bármilyen karbantartási művelet végezne,
kapcsolja ki a berendezést.

• A gép szállítója felelős azért, hogy felhívja a
felhasználó figyelmét az üzemeltetéssel kapcsola­tos veszélyforrásokra, ideértve az illető Renishaw
termék dokumentációjában ismertetetteket is, és
hogy gondoskodjon a megfelelő védőburkolatok és
biztonsági reteszelések meglétéről.

• Bizonyos körülmények között a mérőtapintó azt
jelezheti, hogy a mérőtapintó felfeküdt a mérendő
objektumon, noha ez nincs így. Ezért a gép
mozgásának leállításakor nem szabad a mérőtapintó

jeleire hagyatkozni.

• A Renishaw termékek vészleállításának elvárt mód-

szere a berendezés kikapcsolása.

• Dobavljač stroja dužan je osigurati da korisnik bude
upozoren na sve opasnosti tijekom rada, uključujući

one navedene u dokumentaciji proizvoda Renishaw,

te mora osigurati odgovarajuće zaštite i sigurnosne

blokade.

• Pod određenim okolnostima signal sonde može

lažno pokazivati stanje položaja sonde.

• Očekivana metoda omogućavanja zaustavljanja u
