Mechanical Axes Limitation
All axes feature mechanical end stop according to EN 319/ ISO 13854 “Safety of machinery - Mini-
mum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body“, in order to avoid crushes.
Emergency Stop
The emergency stop is located in a separate housing with a magnetic disk and is firmly connected with
the machine. In order to be able to intervene at all times, the emergency stop has to be positioned at a
suitable place.
By pressing the emergency stop switch, the emergency stop is triggered. The machine stops immedi-
ately (see chapter 2.4) which can lead to step and data losses. A controlled stop of the machine can
only be effected via the control software.
Only activate the emergency stop in case of emergency!
If you want to deactivate the emergency stop status, reactivate the control by turning the emergency
stop switch to the right. The operating process has to be restarted.
Semi Closed Loop System
TM
(optional)
The optionally available Semi Closed Loop System
TM
upgrades your CNC system with an electronical
monitoring of all stepper motors regarding possible step losses. If the Semi Closed Loop-System
TM
de-
tects a deviation from the preplanned steps of the respective stepper motor, as in case of a collision or
false settings, the emergency stop is automatically triggered and, thus, your workpiece protected from
potential damage. You now have to identify and eliminate the cause of the step losses, for example a
collision, too high a feed or a mechanical defect of the machine.
Press the emergency stop again to deactivate the emergency stop status.
After homing, the interrupted operation can be continued.
Blockages due to Accidents or Malfunctions
In case of an emergency stop all axis turn currentless and can only be moved manually with increased
effort.
Machine Table
The machine table of the STEPCRAFT M-Series can be individually adjusted according to your needs
and projects. For this purpose, the following machine table solutions are available.
MDF Machine Table with Aluminum T-slots
The MDF machine table with aluminum T-slots consists of individual MDF panels of 19 mm strength
and aluminum T-slot profiles M6. The T-slots have a distance of 100 mm to each other and run in X
direction.
The MDF machine table with aluminum T-slots can be inserted in the upper as well as in the lower
guide slot of the Y-axis and, thus, allows a change of the passage height from 135 mm to 195 mm.
