Safety All persons who work on and with the gantry press must be aware of these residual risks and follow the instructions which prevent these residual risks from causing accidents or damage. During any set-up and tool setting work, it may be necessary to remove protective equipment installed by the customer.
Safety Warning! Severe injuries to hands and arms! Hands and arms may be crushed or cut-off when the press cylinder is lowered. Before starting work in the pressing chamber, the press cylinder must either be lowered or secured at its highest position. Description of the protective equipment The gantry press has been constructed using state-of-the-art technology and in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.
Safety Labels and signs on the gantry press Sign Meaning Attachment location Warning of overpressure! On the hydraulic accumulators Caution! Before starting servicing work, depressurise Text the system. sign Medium: Nitrogen Warning of hazardous voltage Signs on all junction boxes, switch boxes and control cabinets for low voltage.
Safety Clearly specify and observe the responsibilities for the various activities connected with maintenance and servicing. This is the only way of avoiding mistakes, in particular, in hazardous situations. The plant operator shall ensure that the operating and maintenance personnel wear personal protective equipment.
Safety When replacing individual parts and large assemblies, carefully attach and secure them to lifting devices in order to minimise the danger which emanates from them. Use only suitable and technically perfect lifting devices and load suspension devices which have adequate load-bearing capacity! Never stand or work under suspended loads! Do not use aggressive cleaning agents! Use non-linting cleaning cloths! Dispose of operating and auxiliary materials as well as replacement parts safely and...
Safety Hydraulic system 2.10.2 Only personnel with specialist knowledge and experience in the area of hydraulics may work on the hydraulic equipment! When performing maintenance work on the hydraulic system, the maintenance personnel must be completely familiar with the hydraulic circuit diagram and must be acquainted with function as well as the possible consequences of any faulty operation.

Product description Press chamber The press chamber frame is made of structural-steel sections. Amply dimensioned square tube guides serve for absorbing the developing forces. The tubes are guided in adjustable, high-strength plastic friction bearings. Three folding blank holders in the press chamber door and two folding blank holders in the rear panel prevent any material expansion following the compression process, to maintain as large a loading area as possible (Circle System).
Product description Fig. 3-3: Two-handed control On the gantry press with hydraulic door lock, the two-handed control (2) is mounted at the left next to the control panel. The two-handed control is mounted on the control panel itself on the other gantry presses. Information! An exact description of the controls can be found in Chapter 5.2 Gantry press controls.
