Potential Safety Hazard Areas - Stratasys FORTUS 360mc Service Manual

Potential Safety Hazard Areas

The following components and areas of the system are highlighted as
potential safety hazards that may cause system failure or reliability
problems if proper safety procedures are not followed.
Oven
XY Gantry
Z Stage
High Voltage Sign. The high voltage sign indicates the presence of high
voltages. Always stay away from any exposed electrical circuitry. It is
recommended that all jewelry be removed.
Hot Surface Sign. The hot surface sign indicates the presence of devices
with high temperatures. Always use extra care when working around
heated components. Always wear the safety gloves and safety sleeves
provided in the 360mc/400mc Startup Kit.
Gloves and Sleeves–Required Sign. The gloves sign indicates that safety
gloves and sleeves approved for high temperatures must be used. These
are provided in the Startup Kit.
Crushed–Hand Sign. The crushed hand sign indicates that a crushing
hazard exists between two objects.
Always wear safety gloves and long sleeves when working inside the
oven. Components are hot! The oven temperature is extremely hot. The
oven heater is controlled by a safety thermal breaker that shuts the
system off the temperature reaches 260° C (500° F). Opening the oven
door shuts the oven heaters off.
Never wear a tie, loose clothing or dangling jewelry when working
around moving components of the system. Beneath the top cover of
the system is the XY Gantry. This area houses the mechanical drive
components of the X and Y axes. Use extreme caution whenever
accessing this area of the system. The servo drive system is extremely
powerful so care must be taken. The servo motors are disabled when
the oven door or top covers are opened. The XY pinch hazard
between the timing belts and pulleys is minimized by locking the hood
while building and disabling the motors when the top hood is open.
Never wear a tie, loose clothing or dangling jewelry when working
around moving components of the system. The Z stage and Z stage
servo motor can cause severe injury. The Z stage crushing hazard is
minimized by locking the door during Z stage movement and disables
the Z-Motor when the door is open. If the side covers are removed, the
Z stage components are exposed.
