1. Safety Rules
The safety rules for using the rotary index unit are described here. Read also Part 1,
Safety Rules, in the operator’s manual of the FO MII series.
OBefore cutting the pipe/section, securely grip it in the main chuck and support
chuck. Otherwise the pipe/section may drop off during the cutting operation,
resulting in injury.
OWhen gripping the pipe/section, wear leather gloves, and take care not to get your
hands pinched. If you get your hands pinched, your fingers may be cut or
crushed.
OBefore moving the X- and Y-axes, zero-return the Z-axis. Otherwise the laser
head and other moving parts of the machine may interfere with the pipe/section
and the parts of the rotary index unit.
OCutting of pipes and other sections reduces the dust collection efficiency as
compared with cutting of sheets. Provide good ventilation.
OInstall the light curtain as indicated on the floor plan drawing.
