EN - Safety

CAUTION: Before unpacking and installing the REVO system, the user should carefully read the safety instructions below and ensure that they are followed at all times by all operators.

The RSP3 range of probes is only to be used with the Renishaw REVO head.

Operators must be trained in the use and application of the REVO system and accompanying products, in the context of the machine it is fitted to, before being allowed to operate that machine.

Permanent magnets are used in some components of the REVO system and associated products. It is important to keep them away from items which may be affected by magnetic fields, e.g. data storage systems, pacemakers and watches etc.

RSP3 LED emissions

The RSP3 range of scanning probes incorporate embedded high power LED sources and should not be used in the event of serious damage to, or rupture of, any part of the RSP3. In such cases IMMEDIATELY disconnect the power source, remove and do not attempt to re-use the parts. Contact your supplier for advice.

RCP TC-2 and RCP TC-3

The method of interrupting power is to disconnect the power cable or turn off the supply.

Warnings

Beware of unexpected movement. The user should remain outside of the full working envelope of probe head and stylus. The machine supplier should ensure the user is aware of the full working envelope of the system.

In all applications involving the use of machine tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.

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 documentation, and to ensure that adequate guards and safety interlocks are provided.

Refer to the machine supplier's operating instructions.

The system components contain no user serviceable parts, with the exception of RCP TC-2, RCP TC-3, RCP2 and FCR25. No attempt should be made to disassemble any part of the product. In the event of a problem please contact your supplier for assistance.

Under certain circumstances the probe signal may falsely indicate a probe-seated condition. Do not rely on probe signals to stop machine movement.

Probe trigger override will prevent machine backing off in the event of a probe collision.

The probe joints are designed to release the probe and / or the stylus holder in the event of a crash.

This equipment is not suitable for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Pinch hazards exist between parts. Do not hold the probe or probe head during movements.

It is essential for continued safety that all fuses are replaced by the correct type and rating.

REVO-2 must be transported in Renishaw supplied packaging.

The cables must meet Renishaw specifications. Incorrect cabling could cause damage to the equipment.
