D . Screen control panel and external control panel
Screen control panel
This touch screen provides a human-machine-interface for visualization of the various
steps during the manufacturing process.
The touch screen displays all controls, status indicators and positioning information from
different parts of the machine.
External control panel
On the right side, an external control is used to manage the main parts & events during a manufacturing cycle:
1
EMERGENCY STOP
This button activates immediate shutdown of the heating element and cuts the power
supply to the laser and the motors. It also triggers an emergency software stop. If the
printer needs to be stopped in an emergency situation, press this button.
2

PUSH BUTTON "ON"
This push button turns the machine on when it is powered up with the "start-up key"
switched to "1".
4
STOP
This button instantly stops all currently operating processes (power, heating element,
motor, laser, etc.). If the machine is stopped during a sintering operation, manufacturing
will be stopped immediately and may not be continued. All processes will have to be
reset.
5
CYCLE BREAK
This button interrupts a cycle at its completion and lets the operator choose either to
continue the cycle by pressing the button again or to end the process by pressing the
stop button (layering or sintering cycles for example).
6
RECOIL OF VACUUM CLEANER
This button is used to recoil the vacuum cleaner hose. When the tip of the vacuum cleaner is correctly engaged, the hose is
locked in its housing.
7

This device deactivates the locking system on the doors to access the airlock and the glove doors.
8
USB PORT
Allows to connect any USB device.
