Safety for machinery and personnel

The fencing around our large-scale 3D printers is configurable to align with your overall factory layout and part logistics. We include sliding doors for convenient access and windows in the panels for external monitoring of the printing-or milling process, aiming to create a balanced work environment combining highest safety standards with operational efficiency.  

Safety fencing is required to protect operators when the machine is running. For our print only machines this can be wire mesh panels. For 5 axis machining solid panels are required in case of tool breakage at high speed.

We include SINUMERIK Safety Integrated functions which enables us to provide Safe work Zone control to SIL 3. This enables one section of the machining area to be used for part set up while the other areas are used for machining. This is particularly useful for very large VSF systems.

Side Access Configuration  

Side Access Configuration  

The Side Access Configuration allows for the efficient movement of parts through sliding side panels, facilitating seamless transitions in your workflow.

Additionally, the machine is designed to shift parts internally from printing to milling, streamlining multi-stage operations.

To further enhance productivity, we offer the option to establish multiple safety zones. This feature enables parallel operation and setup, allowing you to fully capitalise on the machine's capabilities.
