VM Series Maintenance and Safety Manual 704-0212-209 Operation Requirements 2- 13
Noise Levels
Noise level readings are taken in the vicinity of the console, 1.6 meters from the floor, 1
meter from the machine’s enclosure. The maximum ambient noise level reading taken for
machines is 60 dB. The maximum reading for any Hurco machine will not exceed 85 dB.
The following noise levels represent the maximum reading a machine will produce in the
vicinity of the console.

The maximum noise levels in the previous table are for reference
only, and are not necessarily safe working levels. While there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be
used to determine whether further precautions are required. Factors
that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include
characteristics of the workroom, other sources of noise, the number
of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible
exposure level can vary from country to country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better
evaluation of the hazard and risk.
