When Handling Jammed Plate
The Lotem 800 platesetter contains a drum that revolves inside the platesetter. The plates are loaded, wrapped onto the drum, exposed and unloaded.
The drum revolves at approximately 900 revolutions per minute. If an object hits the rotating drum, the object may get dislodged inside the platesetter and cause damage (including damage to the safety system, optical head, or optical fibers), or force the Upper doors to open, or penetrate through the doors.
A safety system, that includes Interlock switches, is designed to ensure that when one of the doors or panels is open, the drum is stationary and disconnected from its power source. However, if the service engineer defeats this interlock, extra caution must be taken to reduce the hazards to the service engineer or to other people in the vicinity of the platesetter.
After taking the appropriate safety measures, the service engineer is allowed to defeat the motor interlock switches.
|
|
If the motor interlock switches are defeated, you are forbidden to touch the drum (even if the drum is stationary), or any other moving parts. Do not insert any tool or object near the drum. |
Since serious personal injury to the operator, service engineer or anyone in the vicinity may occur if an object touches the revolving drum, the following cautions must be observed.
|
|
Be sure not to leave any object, tool or part inside or on the platesetter enclosure. The object may get dislodged, get caught in the revolving drum or other moving parts, penetrate through the enclosure and injure a person standing nearby. |
|
|
Because of the potential danger of loose parts inside the platesetter, be sure to replace, reconnect or adjust any drum component according to the exact correct procedure. |
|
|
Before servicing, remove any piece of clothing or object that may get caught in the revolving drum or other moving parts. Remove ties, roll up long sleeves, remove jewelry and gather long hair. |
|
|
If the drum motor interlock is defeated and the Upper doors are open, make sure no one is standing in front of the drum (even if the drum is stationary). |
|
|
Before touching the drum surface, make sure that the drum motor circuit breaker on the D-box is switched off. |
Gripper Actuators
Never put your hand or fingers underneath the grippers or the gripper actuators.
Before working with any Pneumatic component, shut down the Main air pressure valve (located at the air pressure inlet on the wall), and discharge the air pressure from the system.
|
|
If air pressure remains in the system, your fingers might get caught in a pneumatic component, such as the grippers' actuators. |
Paper Disposal
|
|
If you defeat the paper door disposal interlock, never insert your fingers near the paper disposal rollers. |
When Handling Jammed Plate
Special precautions are required when performing this procedure.
|
|
The plate edges are sharp so it should not be handled with bare hands. Wear gloves if you must handle the plate. |
|
|
If the service engineer defeats the motor interlock switches, he is forbidden to put his hands inside the platesetter near the drum. |
Note: It is recommended to release the entire plate as one piece; do not attempt to cut the plate.
