Array Safety

Common Causes of Injuries from Pinch Points:

• Lack of attention to the location of hands and feet
• Loose clothing, hair, or jewelry getting caught in moving systems
• Dropping or carelessly handling materials or suspended loads
• Not following work procedures or using proper tools
• Reaching into moving systems

• Machine guarding and sensors: Verify all guarding and doors sensors are in place and effective
• Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves and safety shoes are recommended when handling Elements
• Pre-work inspection: Identify potential pinch points before starting work
• Stay in employee designated areas: Always make sure equipment operators know your location
• Lockout/Tagout: Always verify Array and Element are de-energized before starting any maintenance work
• Alertness: Drowsiness leads to inattentive work habits and shortcuts
• Operating manuals and work procedures: Always review these before starting work; pinch points may also be identified in these documents

• Always use a properly grounded outlet. Always use with the provided power cables
• Do not use Array or Element in a damp or wet environment. Do not abuse the power supply cord. Ensure that the power cord is kept away from heat, liquids, sharp objects, and moving parts.
• Avoid using Array during electrical storms. In case of any emergency, press the emergency stop button and/or unplug Array from the outlet
• The electronics box is locked and on the left behind the screen, this is intended to be accessed only by Mosaic technicians.

• Static magnetic fields are located inside each Element. Those wearing pacemakers should not enter the Array enclosure
• Other devices such as mechanical watches, credit cards, and other magnetically stored media such as video tapes can be affected by powerful magnets
• Always keep a safe distance (at least 10 cm) between magnets and all objects that can be damaged by magnetism

• The Element units inside Array generate high temperatures. Always allow the printers to cool down before reaching inside
• Materials are designed to print and harden at specific temperatures. The material may release toxic or otherwise harmful fumes if printed at the incorrect temperature. Setting the print temperature to an appropriate range can protect operators from exposure to these toxic or harmful fumes
• Array should be used in a well-ventilated area. With proper ventilation, any toxic or harmful fumes will be flushed away from the surrounding indoor space so that they are not inhaled by operators

Critical Failure Modes

• Filament jam
• Filament issues with Material Pod
• Storage cart issues
• Gantry issues
• Print failure
