ZX5 Safety Standards And Compliance

ZX5 Safety Standards And Compliance

CE Safety Standards, Hazard Identification & Compliance

Consideration has been made to ensure that the ZX5 conforms to or exceeds all current international safety standards.

Moving Slides and Rotating Ballscrews

The ZX5 machining centre has CNC Driven axes including a rotary axis which could present possible trapping and crushing dangers.  This has been addressed by isolating and disabling these axes via approved safety hinges or locking safety switches fitted to all access doors. 

These switches control an approved safety gate relay which disables the Servo drives via the "Safe Torque Off" approved input function.

Revolving Spindles / Blades

The ZX has revolving spindles in the Multihead and a rotating blade in the Saw.

Consideration of any danger to the operator has been addressed by the interlocked guarding mentioned above.  Neither spindles or saw will run if any of the interlocked guarding is open.

Saw blades with inertial overrun are protected by an approved Zero Speed Detection system which interlocks the guards until the blade is stationary
