Information to the user
In all applications involving the use of machine
tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
Refer to the machine supplier’s operating
instructions.
All Renishaw equipment is designed to comply
with the relevant EU and FCC regulatory
requirements. It is the responsibility of the
equipment installer to ensure that the following
guidelines are adhered to, in order for the product
to function in accordance with these regulations:
The TS27R system must be installed by a
•
competent person, observing relevant safety
precautions. Before starting work, ensure that the
machine tool is in a safe condition with the power
switched OFF and the power supply to the HSI-C /
HSI / MI 8-4 is disconnected.
•
Information to the machine supplier/installer
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to ensure
that the user is made aware of any hazards
involved in operation, including those mentioned
in Renishaw product literature, and to ensure
that adequate guards and safety interlocks are
•
provided.
If the probe fails, the probe signal may falsely
•
indicate a probe seated condition. Do not rely
on probe signals to halt the movement of the
machine.
any interface MUST be installed in a position
away from any potential sources of electrical
noise (for example, power transformers,
servo drives);
all 0 V/ground connections should be
connected to the machine “star point” (the
“star point” is a single point return for all
equipment ground and screen cables). This
is very important and failure to adhere to this
can cause a potential difference between
grounds;
all screens must be connected as outlined in
the user instructions;
cables must not be routed alongside high
current sources (for example, motor power
supply cables), or be near high-speed data
lines;
• cable lengths should always be kept to a
minimum.
