Configuration of safety instructions
261211-1310402 CONTURA
Configuration of safety instructions
Safety instructions indicate a personal health hazard. We distinguish
three different levels: Danger, warning and caution. All three safety in-
structions are marked with the same warning symbol. The designation
of the safety instruction is shown beside the symbol. The safety instruc-
tions used are described below.
Configuration of a safety instruction
A safety instruction may have the following components:
–Warning symbol and designation of the safety instruction (signal
word): Danger, warning or caution.
–Source and cause of the danger
–Consequences for the user due to non-observance of the safety in-
struction
–Required measures to be taken by the user to avoid possible conse-
quences
–A measure may cause an intermediate result.
–At the end of all measures, a final result may be caused.
Personal health hazard
DANGER
A »danger« indicates an imminent risk to life and limb.
Non-observance of this safety instruction when the described risk oc-
curs causes death or serious injuries.
Example: Electric shock due to high electric voltage.
WARNING
A »warning« indicates a possible risk to life and limb.
Non-observance of this safety instruction when the described risk oc-
curs may cause death or serious injuries.
Example: Risk of severe crushing of the body caused by heavy loads.
CAUTION
A »caution« indicates a personal health hazard.
Non-observance of this safety instruction when the described risk oc-
curs may cause slight to moderate injuries.
Example: Risk of minor crushing of the limbs caused by small loads.

Risk of material damage
If there is no personal health hazard, but the CMM or components may
get damaged, this is pointed out by the following notice.
This symbol refers to possible damage to the CMM.
Non-observance of this safety instruction when the event occurs may
cause damage to the CMM or one of its components.
Example: Collision of the ram with a workpiece.

Information on the properties of the
materials used
Natural product: granite
Some components of this coordinate measuring machine are made of
granite. Granite is a natural product and shows visible irregularities.
These irregularities do not constitute a defect authorizing a complaint.
The promised measuring accuracy of the coordinate measuring machine
will not be affected by the irregularities.
Treated surfaces
Due to the treatment process, treated surfaces may show irregularities in
color. These irregularities do not constitute a defect authorizing a com-
plaint. The promised measuring accuracy of the coordinate measuring
machine will not be affected by the irregularities.

Intended use
Warranty
The coordinate measuring machine (CMM) may be used only for its in-
tended purpose. The operator is liable for any damage incurred during
any reasonably foreseeable misuse.
CMM
The CMM can be used to determine the geometric sizes of workpieces.
The workpieces can be made of metal or plastic. Geometric sizes are
width, length, height as well as the diameter and depth of bores, for ex-
ample. For example, the position of bores is calculated from the measur-
ing data. Furthermore, the form of workpieces can be determined by
means of a special software.
NOTE
The CMM may be used only to determine geometric parameters of
workpieces. The CMM must not be used for any purposes other than
those listed below.
Only workpieces and objects required for measurement may be placed
on the measuring table.
Functions of the CMM:
–Workpiece probing in six directions (±X, ±Y, ±Z).
The CMM can be moved in the X, Y and Z axes. Probing is per-
formed by means of a probing system. For measurement, the work-
pieces must be fastened on the measuring table.
–The measuring table has the following functions:
–Holding and securing one or more workpieces
–Holding and securing qualification tools
–Holding and securing a changer rack (optional)
–Holding and securing a rotary table (optional)
–Securing the workpieces and fastening the qualification tool,
changer rack and rotary table by use of the threaded bushings
provided in the measuring table.
–Moving workpieces by means of the rotary table.
