1 Setting up the machine
1.1 Transport
For safe transport to the setup site, the transport route must be
checked. In all areas, make sure that the width, height and load-
bearing capacity are sufficient. Check the following:
■Entrance and parking options for a truck
■Access inside the building (stairs, doors, passageways)
■Stairwells and elevators
■Floor conditions and surfacing
1.2 Setup site
CAUTION
Building damage due to impermissible load-bearing capacity!
When setting up the machine in residential buildings, the
permissible floor load must be checked by a structural engineer.
■Here, observe the machine weight (see table in the chapter
"Dimensions and weight") and also note that the machine
generates dynamic loads of approx. 500 N with a frequency
from 0 to 5 Hz.
The machine is installed on site on a solid base. The floor of
the installation location must be sufficiently strong, rigid and
smooth. The height of the support feet is adjustable and they
are not screwed to the floor. The machine requires a minimum
all-round clearance to its surroundings to allow access to
components within the casing. See the Technical Data for the
various dimensions.
Also observe the legal regulations on occupational health and
safety and escape routes.
CAUTION
Risks of using cooling lubricants!
Flammable vapours may be generated when using cooling
lubricants.
■Open flames, smoking, eating and drinking are prohibited in
the vicinity of the machine.

1.3 Room climate
NOTE Air should be free of aggressive dusts and gases.
Required room climate:
Temperature 18 - 30 °C
Humidity < 65 % rel.
Make sure the room temperature is sufficient. The ideal room
temperature is 20 - 23 °C. The machine must be completely at
room temperature before commissioning. For perfect operation,
the spindles require a coolant temperature of at least 18 °C, ideal
would be 25 °C.
If there is a risk of frost during storage or transport of the DATRON
machine, the cooling water must be completely drained out of the
machine and the cooling device beforehand.
Venting the set-up location Make sure there is good ventilation in the set-up environment.
When machining materials which release harmful dusts, the dusts
which are formed must be suctioned off. Observe the statutory
regulations.
The following must be observed when the machine is operated
with cooling lubricant:
During continuous machine operation the area around the
machine must be well ventilated or an exhaust system for the
removing the cooling lubricant vapour must be installed. When
installing the room exhaust system, note whether the cooling
lubricant in use is lighter or heavier than air. Install the room
exhaust system at the top or bottom as applicable. The AGW
values (maximum workplace concentration values) of the cooling
lubricant must be below the maximum limit.
In HVAC technology, the following general empirical values are
used for the air exchange numbers (i.e. exchanged air per hour):

4 Safety regulations for operating the machine
The following points are an excerpt from the operating
instructions. Please observe the complete operating instructions
when operating the machine.
4.1 Dry machining
In dry machining, the material is machined without the cooling
spray function. The released dusts must be suctioned by a
deduster.
WARNING
Damage to health due to harmful dusts!
When dry machining materials, dusts which are harmful to health
can be released.
■For this, observe the information on the safety data sheet of the
respective material.
■In the case of harmful dusts, you must use a suitable vacuum
cleaner.
CAUTION
Machine damage due to released dusts!
