1.2.1 Safety features
Emergency stops
The machine has four (4) Emergency Stops. When activated the machine will come to a
complete stop and the power to the motor controller is switched off. The Emergency Stops
must be disengaged before a restart is possible.
Optical safety devices
The machine has an optical safety device (photo eye) at the input and output side of the
nip at the main rollers. This device performs a check of the operation between transmitter
and receiver.
When an error is detected (e.g. the signal is interrupted) the motor will stop and the motor
controller will be disabled.
The stop signal from the optical device is overruled:
• On the photo eyes on the output side of each nip.
• When the footswitch is pressed.
Safety footswitch
The safety footswitch is used as remote control to start and stop the machine in the normal
and the slow mode.
The safety footswitch is protected with a safety cover to prevent accidental switching.
WARNING:
THE OPTICAL SAFETY DEVICE STOP SIGNAL IS DISABLED WHEN
USING THE SAFETY FOOTSWITCH IN SLOW MODE.
KEEP CLEAR OF THE NIP WHEN PRESSING THE FOOTSWITCH, WHILE
SLOW MODE IS ACTIVE.
Slow mode
The slow mode is used when setting up the machine with new films or images.
In slow mode the machine is started with the footswitch and will then run at slow speed so
that the operator has both hands free to position and feed new film or image correctly into
the machine. Slow mode is automatically engaged if the photo eyes are blocked while the
rollers are turning.
