NC4 non-contact tool setting system: NC4 basics
Guidelines for best practice
• The NC4 unit is a precision device and must be handled with care.
• Ensure that all mountings are secure.
• Keep electrical contacts clean.
• Mount the NC4 unit in a position that limits the risk of it being subjected to impact when operating the
machine.
• Mount the NC4 unit in a position where it will not be affected by a build-up of swarf. Do not allow
excessive waste material to build up on or around the NC4 unit.
• Cables, piping and conduit should be suitably secured to avoid damage and loads being transferred to
the NC4 unit.
• Optimum performance is achieved by continuously supplying air and power to the NC4 unit.
• The NC4 unit is protected by a continuous stream of clean air. Approximately once a month, inspect
the optics for contamination. The service interval may be extended or reduced depending on
experience.
• The NC4 barrier air supply must conform to BS ISO 8573-1 air quality of Class 1.4.2 and be moisture-
free.
