How to repair Metal Shear safety grating failure

Metal Shear Safety Grating Malfunction Troubleshooting & Repair Guide

• 1. Check the Power Supply
  Ensure the safety grating receives the correct voltage per the manual. Use a multimeter to test connections at the power source, control box, and grating. Fix loose wires, replace damaged cables/fuses, and reconnect faulty components.
• 2. Inspect Grating Alignment
  Misalignment often causes malfunctions. Use alignment tools/laser pointer to check beam alignment. Adjust grating units to ensure they are parallel and at the correct distance.
• 3. Clean Emitter/Receiver Lenses
  Dust/debris on lenses can block beams. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild cleaner to wipe surfaces. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch lenses.
• 4. Troubleshoot the Control Box
  Check for error codes (if available) and refer to the manufacturer’s guide. Replace faulty relays/circuit boards or reset settings as needed.
• 5. Perform Functional Testing
  Activate the grating and simulate obstructions to test the emergency stop function. If issues persist, contact manufacturer support or a professional technician. Regular maintenance (inspections/cleaning) prevents future failures.
