HRT210 Indexer Safety

- Always check your programs rapid moves.
Watch for rapid moves into the indexer and the work-holding device.

- Always check on the wiring to the indexer.
Make sure the cutter stays away from the wiring.

- Watch for tool chager clearances.
  - Tools may “Z” down when making a tool change.
  - Always position the indexer to the far right position.
  - Position the "Z" axis as close to the tool change position before making a tool change.
  - Make a rapid move to the far right limit ("X" Axis) of the machine and to the front ("Y" Axis) of the machine before any tool change is preformed.

- Always check the Tool-holder clearances next to the ChickWorking holding device.
Make sure that the Tool holder body will not interfere with the indexer or the Chick Workholding system.
