● Personal protective equipment: Operators must wear the appropriate fitting work clothes as per regulations. The cuffs should be fastened or rolled up. No neckties, ties, or other accessories that could be caught in rotating parts are allowed. Protective glasses must be worn to prevent cuts and splashes of chips and coolant from injuring the eyes. When processing brittle materials such as cast iron or generating a lot of dust, a dust mask should also be worn. Wearing gloves to operate rotating parts is prohibited. Wearing slippers or high-heeled shoes is not allowed. Those with long hair must coil it up and wear a work cap. Metal accessories such as rings, watches, and bracelets are not permitted to avoid electric shock or being caught.
● Work environment inspection: Ensure that the passageways around the lathe are unobstructed, free from oil stains and debris accumulation. The lighting in the working area should be adequate and soft, without glare. Check that the fire-fighting equipment is in good condition and placed in easily accessible locations, and familiarize yourself with its usage. Remove tools, measuring instruments and materials on the workbench that are not related to this processing.
● Equipment status check: Verify that the power supply and grounding are normal, that the lubrication system has sufficient oil, that the chuck and fixtures are in good condition, that the limit positions and protective covers are effective, and that the cooling system is operating normally.
● Program check: For new programs or programs that are being used for the first time, a graphical simulation or empty run verification must be conducted in the machine locked state or in the single segment operation mode to ensure that the tool number and tool compensation number called by the program are consistent with the actual installed tools.
● Safety regulations during startup and operation: Start the machine tool strictly in accordance with the sequence specified in the equipment manual. Before starting the spindle, ensure that the chuck, workpiece, and tools are all securely installed. During spindle rotation, do not touch the rotating parts with your hands. When clamping the workpiece, choose the appropriate chuck or fixture. Be cautious during the setup operation. Pay close attention to the operation status of the machine during the processing. If any abnormalities are detected, immediately press the emergency stop button.
● Training and qualification requirements: Operators must undergo professional training to be familiar with the performance, structure, operation methods of the CNC lathes they operate, as well as this safety procedure. Only after passing the assessment can they work independently. It is strictly prohibited for those without the necessary certification to work or for non-operators of this machine to operate it without authorization.
The above rules integrate the safety operation procedures of CNC lathes and fully CNC roller grinding machines, and are applicable to the safety norms when operating CNC roller lathes. Please note that specific safety rules may vary depending on the equipment model and manufacturer. It is essential to refer to the operation manual and safety guidelines of the specific equipment.
