• Emergency stop button.
• Totally enclosed guard door with interlock switch.
• Electronic shear key built into spindle controller.
• Axis limit microswitches, adjustable on Z slide.
• Automatic tool retraction and spindle stop during a tool change
operation on the (optional) Automatic Tool Changer.
• Option on control software to check CNC programs prior to
machining.
Safety Precautions.
Safety is very important when working with all forms of machinery
but particularly when working with CNC equipment, due to the
hazardous voltages, speeds and forces that exist in the hardware.
Follow the rules below at all times, when using your Denford Triac
CNC machine.
General Safety Precautions :
• Wear clothing suitable for machine operation and follow the safe
working procedures in place at your establishment.
• Do not place any objects so that they interfere with the guards or
the operation of the machine.
• Never try to clean the machine if any part of it is rotating or in motion.
• Always secure the work on the table or in a fixture or vice.
• Ensure that the correct cable for the power source is used.
• If power fails turn off the yellow/red isolator (found on the front of
the electrical control box) immediately.
• Hazardous voltages can still exist immediately after switching the
electrical control box isolator to the OFF position. Always wait at
least 5 minutes before entering the electrical control box.
• Ensure the power is switched off before starting any maintenance
work on the machine. Always post a warning informing others
that the machine is undergoing essential maintenance.
• Lubricate the required machine areas at the intervals specified in
this manual, to prevent the axes from seizing (see the
Maintenance section for further details).
• Observe caution when adding or removing machine tooling.
• When an emergency stop is required, press the circular red emergency
stop button, located on the front machine operators panel.
