This section contains two sets of principles that must be followed to assure maximum safety when operating your Arizona 6100 XTS series printer. The first set uses negative examples to show you things to avoid in order to prevent injury to the operator. The second set of principles illustrates some of the residual risks that are inherent in the operation of the printer. These are situations or physical aspects of the printer that may present a potential danger to the operator, but would compromise the capabilities of the printer if changed. Therefore, they are pointed out as a precaution the operator must be aware of when using the printer.
The photos in the following table illustrate situations that must be avoided when operating your printer.
Some of the labels in the pictures may look different on your printer.

Your Arizona printer is engineered to minimize machine components and operating procedures that may compromise operator safety. However, in order to maintain some machine operations and functionality, certain compromises are required. The following table documents some of these residual hazards. By making the operator aware of the potential risks, we hope to ensure maximum safety in the operation of this printer.
Caution: there may be a time lag between when a print job is issued and when the gantry movement actually begins as the UV lamps must warm up first. Movement can start many minutes after a print job is sent.
Residual Risk Area |
Hazard |
---|---|
WARNING
Ink Mist Hazard Carriage Height can be excessive. This causes excessive UV and Ink Mist Emissions. |
|
WARNING
Avoid Moving Carriage Carriage moves rapidly and can cause injury. The Emergency Stop at the User Podium and Red and Yellow Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion. |
|
WARNING
High Risk crush/Pinch Hazard A high risk crushing/pinch hazard is created by the table and the gantry. Gantry Z-Axis motion can cause injury if body parts become trapped. The Emergency Stop at the User Podium and Red and Yellow Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion. |
|
WARNING
Gantry Movement Hazard The Gantry moves slowly at most times, but can move quickly at unexpected times. This has a lot of mass and can knock a person over. The Emergency Stop at the User Podium and Red and Yellow Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion. |
|
WARNING
Carriage Vertical Movement Pinch Hazard High Risk crush hazards are created by allowing operator direct access to the vertical downward force of the carriage. The Emergency Stop at the User Podium and Red and Yellow Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion. |
|
WARNING
High Risk Crush Hazard High Risk crush hazards are created by allowing the operator direct access to the vertical downward force of the carriage when it is at its highest position and printing. The Emergency Stop at the User Podium and Red and Yellow Long Sense Edges on the Gantry Beams will arrest this motion. |
|
WARNING
High Risk Crush and Thermal Hazard High Risk Crush Hazards and Thermal Hazards are created by allowing operator direct access to the carriage when the center maintenance panel is lowered. Motion Motors are disconnected via hardware when this panel is lowered. |
|
WARNING
Crush Hazard Medium risk crushing hazards are created by alignment pins and the gantry rails. |
