1Introduction
The isel gantry and flat-bed machines EuroMod P, EuroMod F, OverHead, FlatCom, GFV
and GFS are tried and tested CNC machines, offering a broad variety of possibilities for the
three-dimensional machining of workpieces.
The machines are built and equipped in various sizes and designs. The are based on standard
profiles which are cut to size and can be assembled in different ways, together with drive
elements which are configured according to the particular requirements; the final appearance
of the machine can thus be very different.
All machines have the same interior components, i.e. there is no difference in their general
mechanical design nor in the electrical control system. Each individual machine is tested for
many hours prior to delivery.
To work with the machines described herein, it is imperative to possess basic knowledge in
the CNC technology and in PC applications, as well as a necessary portion of creativity.
Please read these brief instructions now so that you can
• install the machine properly;
• work safely, quickly and efficiently;
• avoid possible hazards to other persons;
• and thus utilise the full performance of the machine.
The instructions given in this Manual refer to the standard scope of supply with which the machine is
ready for operation. You may therefore simply ignore any variants (e.g. accessories and software)
which do not pertain to your machine.
Before installing and commissioning any software or the accessories, please refer also to the
additional manuals and instructions specified in the list of references.

2Use as Prescribed
Our gantry and flat-bed machines are CNC-controlled machine tools with several linear axes
and one or two optional rotary axes. The motor output stages are controlled by a PC-based
control system. The control and power electronics for all axes are accommodated *in a control
cubicle by default.
-The CNC machine is designed for use in dry rooms (workshops, laboratories or the
like) and industrial enterprises (max. ambient temperature 40°C).
-The machine is suitable for milling, drilling, cutting, engraving, proportioning,
measuring, positioning and many similar applications.
-You may mount the most varied suitable machining tools or measuring systems for the
applications mentioned above.
-Suitable machining materials are light metal, plastics, wood, glass, p.c. board
materials or the like.
-Materials which produce hazardous gases when processed are deemed to be
impermissible materials.
-The machine is prepared for mounting of an extraction system. This extraction system
is intended for use with dry dust (wood, p.c. boards, etc.).
*The control cubicle is an integral part of the complete systems (but can also be delivered separately
as part of the accessories) and is usually mounted on the right-hand side of the machine frame by
default. The number of motor output stages is configured according to the specific customer
requirements. For systems without control cubicle, only the sections pertaining to the master machine
shall apply.

3Safety Notes
- Do not run the machine in an atmosphere subject to the hazard of explosion!
- The machine is enclosed on all sides. The enclosure protects you from moving tools, reduces
the noise level and retains the swarf. The cover is locked and cannot be opened during
machining. This safety device must neither be removed, nor be modified.
- Always ensure that the workpieces are mounted securely.
- The CNC operator panel possesses an EMERGENCY STOP switch for emergency cases,
interrupting the power supply to the power electronics (motor output stages) and to the
frequency converter for the main spindle drive. The shutdown is performed according to Stop
category 1 (controlled shutdown and subsequent interruption of the power supply to the
drives).
-Only qualified and instructed persons are allowed to use the keyswitch on the CNC operator
panel, since the test mode involves an increased injury hazard.
- The spare key must be kept under lock and key.
-Provide for sufficient ventilation in case of dust or gas formation from the machining of the
materials.
-Do not use running water for cooling, but only a cooling system (see "Accessories") which
produces its cooling effect with water mist or air. Make sure that no drips are formed and able
to flow under the clamping plate.

5Erecting and Connecting the Machine
5.1 Space requirements
The space required by the machine is limited to its actual footprint and a sufficiently large
area in front of the machine to be able to operate and set up the machine. The cover of the
panelling usually opens upwards and so you must additionally ensure a clearance of approx.
50 to 60 cm above the machine.
This is the operating
position of all gantry and
flat-bed machines.

5.2 Transport
Remove the shipping braces from the frame feet. Use only suitable lifting tackle (forklifts,
lifting trolleys - see illustration), lift the machine only from below, and do not pull on the
cover.
When transporting the machine any time later, make absolutely sure that the mains power and
interconnecting cables are not damaged. Always pull out the mains plug first before
transporting the machine.
When transporting the machine, make sure that the machine is not
subjected to strong vibrations.
Always keep the triangular key for manual unlocking of the cover outside
the machine.
