AM010 - Checking the work area door and window pane
Orientation
Inspection and maintenance of the work area door includes several steps:
- Inspection of the window pane for damage,
- Checking the safety label on the window pane,
- Checking the work area door for smooth opening/closing,
- Functional testing of the safety interlock.
The window pane consists of three (or four, depending on the machine type) panes,
the inner pane made of tempered glass, the central pane made of polycarbonate,
and the outer pane also made of polycarbonate. The inner pane is relatively
resistant to chemical substances. It can be cleaned with any commercially available
cleaning agents. Only the center pane is essential for the impact resistance of the
window pane.
The polycarbonate panes are subject to natural aging and therefore must be
subjected to regular visual inspection. Through contact with cooling lubricant, the
aging process is accelerated even further.
Damage to the window pane by improper cleaning.
- Do not use sharp objects such as razors or screwdrivers.
- Do not use abrasive or alkaline cleaning agents such as
petroleum spirit, benzene, acetone, or carbon tetrachloride
(tetrachloromethane).
If a workpiece has hit an inspection window, the viewing and
laminated panes must be replaced immediately by the INDEX
service. This is necessary regardless of the extent of damage.
Even with minimal damage, the impact resistance of the pane
can no longer be guaranteed.
Check the guide rails of the work area door. The guide bars must be checked and
cleaned regularly so that the work area door can be moved without much effort.
Requirement
For cleaning, only:
- a soft cloth or sponge
- cleaning solution of water and soap
- isopropyl alcohol (45%)
- isobutyl alcohol
- ethyl alcohol
- methyl alcohol
- white spirit
must be used.
Procedure
1. Check window pane for damage.
