2.6.7 Bumper and micro switch
The spring-loaded bumper and corresponding micro switch provide object detection.
If an object gets detected the safety circuit is interrupted and subsequently the movement of the axis,
the current job processing and the laser emission stop immediately.
2.6.8 Light curtain
The light curtain provides access detection for hazardous areas. It is located in front of the X-axis and
is 16 cm (6.29 inch) high.
If an object gets detected the safety circuit is interrupted and subsequently the movement of the axis,
the current job processing and the laser emission stop immediately.
2.6.9 Laser deflector shield and hall sensor
The laser deflector shield absorbs a majority of scattered or reflected radiation in the area of the laser
beam output and is therefore mandatory during operation.
The presence of the magnetically fixed laser deflector shield is monitored via hall sensors. If the laser
deflector shield was removed on purpose or due to collision with a work piece, the safety circuit is
interrupted and subsequently the movement of the axis, the current job processing and the laser
emission stop immediately.
2.6.10 Light sensor and reflector
The light sensor and reflector provide access detection for hazardous areas. If an object gets detected
the safety circuit is interrupted and subsequently the movement of the axis, the current job processing
and the laser emission stop immediately.
2.6.11 In case of safety device malfunction
In case of actual or presumed damage to the safety devices:
Press the emergency stop button
Disconnect the machine from the mains
