Activating Safety Enclosure Sensor
When the Safety Enclosure is chosen (optional accessory), users may Activate/
Deactivate the Safety Enclosure Sensor. When the sensor is activated, the Spindle Motor
will come to an immediate stop when the enclosure is lifted. To resume machine
operation, the enclosure must be properly closed again. If there is no Safety Enclosure
installed on the machine, the sensor setting should remain Off at all times.

Z-Axis Auto Indexer & Tool-Change Safety
Some projects may require multiple tools, and the user will need to change the tool mid-
operation. The i2015 comes with a Z-Axis Auto Indexer, which will automatically measure
the length of the tools, to avoid having to reset the Z-Axis Position of Origin during
operation. The machine is also equipped with a Tool-Change Safety switch, to prevent
accidental injury to a tool change.
1.
Begin your G-Code operation, using standard machine operation procedures. The
machine will identify that there are multiple tools in the G-Code. Machine will begin
operation by moving to the Z-Axis Auto Indexer to measure the first tool. It will request
that you ensure that the Auto Indexer is clean. Press Down and choose Continue.
2.
The Spindle will move to the center of the table, ready for tool change. The machine will
go through the following process for each tool, including the first tool, though it is not
required that you change the tool initially. A message will pop up to remind the user to
turn on the Tool Change Safety switch. Choose Yes once the switch is set to On, and
press Enter. Please ensure that the switch is turned on, which will cut power from the
Spindle Motor, prior to tool change.
3.
The LCD will display the name of the next required tool. With the Tool Change Safety
switch set to On, it is now safe to replace the tool (expect for the first tool, which should
already be installed). Once properly installed, press Continue.
4.
A message will pop up to remind the user to turn off the Tool Change Safety switch.
Choose Yes once the switch is set to Off, and press Enter. The Spindle will not be able
to activate for operation unless the switch is turned off.
5.
Repeat process as necessary, based on the number of tool changes required.
