Safety
Information for the user
In all applications involving the use of machine
tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
Remove power before performing any
maintenance operations.
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to
ensure that the user is made aware of any
hazards involved in operation, including those
mentioned in Renishaw product documentation,
and to ensure that adequate guards and safety
interlocks are provided.
Under certain circumstances the probe signal
may falsely indicate a probe-seated condition.
Do not rely on probe signals to stop machine
movement.
The expected method of providing an emergency
stop for Renishaw products is to remove power.
Information for the machine supplier/installer
The automatic probe cover (APC) system must
be installed by a competent person, observing
relevant safety precautions. Before starting
work, ensure that the machine tool is in a safe
condition with the power switched OFF and the
power supply to the HSI or HSI-C disconnected.
