MACHINE SAFETY

It is up to the machine manufacturer to make sure that the safety of the machine is enabled in order to prevent personal injury and damage to the CNC or to the products connected to it.

On start-up and while validating CNC parameters, it checks the status of the following safety elements:

•Feedback alarm for analog axes.

•Software limits for analog and sercos linear axes.

•Following error monitoring for analog and sercos axes (except the spindle) both at the CNC and at the drives.

•Tendency test on analog axes.

If any of them is disabled, the CNC shows a warning message and it must be enabled to guarantee a safe working environment.

FAGOR AUTOMATION shall not be held responsible for any personal injuries or physical damage caused or suffered by the CNC resulting from any of the safety elements being disabled.

HARDWARE EXPANSIONS

FAGOR AUTOMATION shall not be held responsible for any personal injuries or physical damage caused or suffered by the CNC resulting from any hardware manipulation by personnel unauthorized by Fagor Automation.

If the CNC hardware is modified by personnel unauthorized by Fagor Automation, it will no longer be under warranty.

COMPUTER VIRUSES

FAGOR AUTOMATION guarantees that the software installed contains no computer viruses. It is up to the user to keep the unit virus free in order to guarantee its proper operation.

Computer viruses at the CNC may cause it to malfunction. An antivirus software is highly recommended if the CNC is connected directly to another PC, it is part of a computer network or floppy disks or other computer media is used to transmit data.

FAGOR AUTOMATION shall not be held responsible for any personal injuries or physical damage caused or suffered by the CNC due a computer virus in the system.

If a computer virus is found in the system, the unit will no longer be under warranty.
