Follow these guidelines while performing jobs on the machine:
Normal operation - Keep the door closed while machine is operating.
Part loading and unloading – An operator opens the door or guard, completes task, closes door or guard
before pressing cycle start (starting automatic motion).
Tool loading or unloading – A machinist enters the machining area to load or unload tools. Exit the area
completely before automatic movement is commanded (for example, next tool, ATC/Turret
FWD/REV).
Maintenance / Machine Cleaner– Press emergency stop or power off the machine before entering
enclosure.
Do not enter the machining area anytime the machine is in motion; severe injury or death may
result.
Unattended Operation
Fully enclosed LEI Tech CNC machines are designed to operate unattended; however, your machining
process may not be safe to operate unmonitored.
As it is the shop owner’s responsibility to set up the machines safely and use best practice machining
techniques, it is also their responsibility to manage the progress of these methods. The machining
process must be monitored to prevent damage if a hazardous condition occurs.
For example, if there is the risk of fire due to the material machined, then an appropriate fire
suppression system must be installed to reduce the risk of harm to personnel, equipment and the
building. A suitable specialist must be contacted to install monitoring tools before machines are
allowed to run unattended.
It is especially important to select monitoring equipment that can immediately perform an appropriate
action without human intervention to prevent an accident, should a problem be detected
