Safety System Tests
Step 1: Safety switch test procedure
Experienced personnel must test the Safety System at the
beginning of each work shift. See the Safety System Test in this
section of this manual.
Depending on the ambient shop temperature, you may need
to warm up your Haeger Hardware Insertion Machine before
beginning any operations. To do this, turn it on and let it run
for about ten minutes.
1. Turn the Main Disconnect Switch to the On position. The Main Disconnect Switch is located on the
upper left and right side of the cylinder cover of the machine.
2. Start the machine by pressing the On Switch on the control Panel. The green light in the switch will
be illuminated and the motor will start. If the machine doesn’t turn on, twist the Off/E-Stop
Switch(s) clockwise until it pops out and try pressing the On Switch again. Using the touch screen
controls, select the Conductive operation.
Except for the Down Footswitch and the Off/E-Stop Switch, all
the other operating controls referred to in the rest of this
procedure are on the T o u c h S c r e e n Panel. The Touch
Screen Panel is located on the front o f t h e m a c h i n e c o v e r .
3. Set the machine to Run mode by touching the circle next to the word Run on the screen. Set the Up
Travel distance to 40% by touching the box containing the Up Travel value and then choosing 30
from the entry screen. You can also use the +/- buttons.
4. Keep your hands away from the Tool Holder area. Use the Footswitches to lower or raise the Upper
Tool Holder until it is about 4 in. /100 mm above the Lower Tool Holder. Remove your foot from the
Footswitches and keep your feet away from it.
5. Carefully grasp the sides of the Upper Tool Holder and push it upwards. This upward movement
should actuate the Safety Switch and the Upper Tool Holder should move up. The movement will
continue until the Up timer (set by the Up Travel % number you enter) has timed out. Remove your
hand from the Upper Tool Holder as soon as the movement starts.
6. If the Upper Tool Holder moves up, the Safety System Switch is operating. Go to Step 2,
“Conductive Mode Test Procedure.”
7. If the Upper Tool Holder does not move up, the Safety System has failed!
