Description of the protective equipment
The gantry press has been constructed using state-of-the-art technology and in
accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.
Safety equipment (e.g. Emergency Stop switch, trigger lines, etc.) must neither be
removed, bridged or their function impaired in any other way. Regularly check that all
safety switch devices function.
2.5.1
Location of the Emergency Stop devices
– The Emergency Stop button is located on the control panel
2.5.2
Safety equipment on the gantry press
The loading door is secured with a non-manipulable solenoid switch/sensor. If the
loading door is opened the gantry press is completely shut down.
The pressing chamber is secured with a spring-loaded catch.
A mechanical hold-up device mounted into the press prevents the pressing shield
from being inadvertently lowered.
Access to the hydraulic cylinders of the press is protected by cover plates - the plates
can only be removed using a tool and remain open when not in the cover position.
The machine can only be operated when the two-handed control is held. Releasing it
prematurely will result in immediate shutdown of the gantry press.
