Application

During extreme machining operations of flammable materials (titanium, stainless steel...), where there is a high risk of fire and where precautions are strongly recommended. For all these cases, if the customer needs a DECO and wants maximum security, then Tornos recommends the installation of an INCOM type fire-protection unit. This unit automatically brings the source of the fire under control. Detection is assured by a UV flame probe located above the machining area.

  • The alarm simultaneously actuates:
  • shut-down of the fume extractor (where fitted)
  • the emergency stop of the machine
  • the alarm siren
  • triggering the valve fitted to the CO2 extinguisher

Fire-protection equipment

The extinguishing agent, in liquid form (carbon dioxide), is released through the hose to the extinguishing nozzle also located above the machining area. As this agent leaves the nozzle, it changes into gas and, at a pressure of 60 bar, displaces the oxygen from the air and stifles the flames. In order to limit the action of this unit to those cases where it is really required, actual triggering takes place after a signal lasting for more than 4 seconds.

Comment

his device requires option 5485 -i.e. "Interface for the fire-protection device". If the machines have integral or central smoke extractors, then these must, as a matter of course, be fitted with a shutdown or sealing system. This modification will, of course, feature on the FILTERMIST extractors on machines fitted with the fire-protection device, supplied by TORNOS. The unit will have to undergo annual maintenance by approved personnel.

Compatibility

This unit is compatible with all DECO and MULTIDECO machines.
