Overview

Rottler is proud to announce a complete kit for OSHA and CE compliance safety regulations for the H80 series Honing Machines. Keep operators safe and comply with regulatory requirements across all governing bodies with the 514-14-99 Light Curtain Assembly!

Light curtains work by creating an invisible beam of light across the area where operators could reach into the work area. If the beam is broken then the machine will automatically perform a “safe stop” which stops all motion and operations, until the operator resumes machining activities.

This keeps the operator safe from pinch points and injury during the machining operation, and comply’ s with stringent safety regulations, all whilst keeping the working envelope accessible and in operator view.

Installation (Retrofit)

Follow the instructions below to install the 514-14-99 light curtain assembly as a retrofit on H85AX(Y) or H87AXY Rottler Honing Machines.

Step 1:
Mount Brackets to Light Curtain Bars. Mount the 514-14-99E brackets with the provided hardware to the 514-14-99C safety lights as shown in the figures below:

Step 2:
Mount the 514-14-99C Safety Lights to the Enclosure with the provided hardware to the pre-drilled mounting locations as shown in the figures below

Step 3:

Route the associated cables (514-14-99F) from the (514-14-99C) safety lights along the enclosure as shown in the figures below. Use the pre-existing holes in the enclosure to pull the cables into the electrical cabinet

Step 4:
Attach the 514-14-99D Relay to the DIN rail above the 24V power supply in the electrical enclosure. Note the Gray and Black plugs from the 514-14-99F cable set. Plug in the Gray and Black Plugs into the 514-14-99D Relay to their corresponding colors as shown in the figures below:

Step 5:
Use C30 cable to supply power to the 514-14-99D Relay from the 24V DC power supply in the electrical cabinet as shown in the figure below.

Step 6:
Use C31 cable to wire from the 514-14-99D Relay to the Inputs Board position #2 inside the electrical cabinet.

Step 7:
Navigate to the Addins List in the Rottler Block Software. Check the Door Addin to install the Addin to the software. This will require restarting the software to activate.

Step 8:
Navigate to the I/O window in the Rottler Block Software. Under the Door Addin change the Light Curtain option to the following settings:

Module → I/O 5
Bit# → 2
I/O Direction → DigitialInput
Switch Type → Normaly Closed

Test the light curtain by running a cycle and breaking the light beam with an inanimate object such as a piece of wood. If installed correctly, breaking the light beam should cause the cycle to stop and only re-trigger when the operator presses “Cycle Start”.
