NFE_warning

Always read, understand and follow the safety rules given in this manual before attempting to use the NanoFrazor Explore. In doubt, contact SwissLitho AG for assistance. This machine must not be operated by personnel not trained in its safe operations.

  • Always power off the controllers before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
  • Electrical enclosures must only be opened by qualified service personnel. The enclosures must be disconnected from main power before servicing.
  • If opened by trained personnel, unplug the main power supply before removing or opening any of the electronic enclosures.
  • Modifications or additions to the electrical system must not be carried out as they cause machine malfunction and create safety hazards.
  • The positioning system and the high speed piezo scanner controllers can generate voltages up to 100 V. Never plug in or unplug any cables while power is on. This may cause damage to the controller or the mechanical components, and will void the warranty.
  • Keep fingers, hair, and body parts clear of the mechanical components, in particular the positioning system. Although the maximum force generated by the stage is low, injuries may nevertheless be caused.
  • Keep the area around the machine clean and free of obstacles and loose parts.
  • No food or beverages must be kept near or inside the NanoFrazor Explore.
  • Do not leave the NanoFrazor Explore doors open when not performing maintenance. Do not pour water or other liquids onto any part of the NanoFrazor Explore.
  • Do not put your fingers in the narrow spaces between the granite plate and the housing as they might get squeezed if the air pressure unexpectedly drops.
  • The clamp and cantilever holder have pointed ends. Wear protective gloves and avoid contact.
  • Do not replace or connect/disconnect parts while the machine is in operation. Do not operate the machine while parts are removed or missing.
  • Do not climb the NanoFrazor Explore, do not topple the NanoFrazor Explore.
  • Only trained machinery movers, using appropriate and well-maintained equipment, may handle, move, or install the machine.
  • When moved by trained machinery movers, do not exceed a maximum climbable gradient of 20 %. Exceeding this gradient poses a high risk of toppling, which may cause serious injury and significant damage to the machine.
  • Each electronic enclosure is protected from over-current with fuses.
    • The positioning controller has a protection from currents above 1.6 A.
    • The environment controller has a protection from currents above 2.0 A.
    • The main controller has a protection from currents above 2.0 A.
    • The high speed piezo controller has a protection from currents above 4.0 A.
