Safety Regulations and Residual Risks During Maintenance
Failure to respect the regulations listed here below may cause injury to persons
and damage to the equipment.
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, maintenance engineers of the measuring machine must have:
An adequate knowledge of the general specifications given in the document entitled “Use and
Maintenance of the Measuring System – General Safety Regulations”. These regulations must be
strictly respected during maintenance of the measuring machine.
An adequate knowledge of the residual risks for maintenance engineers indicated in the table
below together with the remedies to be taken to reduce them to a minimum or eliminate them
altogether.
Z-rail moving upwards (or downwards) unexpectedly or
suddenly
The removal or assembly of parts on the Z-rail (for
example, when the measuring head or a tool is changed)
may cause the Z-rail and, consequently, the elements
applied to its flange to move upwards or downwards
rapidly. This may create hazardous situations for the user
in the presence of particular measuring probe
configurations.
To minimize this risk, before performing any maintenance
operation, set the Z-rail in position −Z (at bottom end
position).
Unexpected movement of moving parts of the measuring
machine axes
Shut off the power supply to the measuring system
before performing any maintenance operations, removing
or reassembling covers, guards, other protective devices,
components or making inspections requiring physical
contact with the measuring machine.
Also turn off the air supply, except for short periods in
which it must be possible to move the moving parts of the
machine.
Slight cut or abrasion during periodic maintenance (with
guards open)
Turn the Main Switch OFF before performing maintenance operations,
removing or replacing covers, guards and components or making inspections
requiring physical contact with the measuring machine.
Also turn off the air supply except when it must be possible to move the moving
parts of the machine, so as to avoid unexpected movements.
