DANGER
!
NON-WINTRISS OPERATOR STATION MAY NOT MEET SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that the operator station run buttons are placed so that two hands are required to
push both buttons at the same time and no one can press both buttons with one hand or with
one hand and one elbow.
Ensure that the run buttons have ring guards in place.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
This section explains how to wire and mount the Operator Station and light curtain
(optionally, two light curtains).
The Operator Station should be located where the operator will run the press. On most OBIs
this will be on the front of the bolster. For straight side presses, it may be on the press or on a
pedestal. No one means is preferred or recommended. Each application will be different.
If you are not installing a light curtain, and if you plan to use the operator station as a two-
hand safety device, you must mount the operator station at the correct safety distance away
from the nearest pinch point. You must calculate this distance based on the stopping time of
your press. Mounting the operator station at the correct safety distance prevents an operator
from leaving the station and reaching the pinch point before the press stops.
If you are installing light curtains, the operator station needs to be installed outside of the
area guarded by the light curtain. The light curtain is normally mounted in front of the die
space, at least the safety distance away from any pinch point. Any opening or access to the
die space not guarded by the light curtain must be guarded by mechanical barriers.
Refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on determining the stopping time of the press and
calculating the correct safety distance (page 348). For complete Shadow light curtain
mounting instructions, see your Shadow user manual.
NOTICE
You cannot permanently mount the operator station or light curtain until you have the WPC
working, and have measured the stopping time and set the brake monitor, in order to
calculate the correct safety distance. However, you will be able to wire the operator station
and light curtain.
Refer to Figure 2 - 9 and Figure 2 - 10 for mounting dimensions of the two types of Wintriss
operator stations and see Table A at the end of the manual.
1. Use an existing hole or knockout in the operator station enclosure for conduit or sealtight,
or punch a new one if necessary.
2. Connect the conduit or sealtight to the hole; then open the operator station box. Run the
operator station cable in the sealtight.
