You should check the GL-RHG operation and the machine operation according to the following checklist
prior to daily operation.
Note that the following inspection items comprise only a bare minimum inspection. KEYENCE
Corporation strongly recommends including the necessary checking items into this checklist based on
the judgment of the responsible personnel since additional criteria may be necessary depending on both
the machine to which the GL-RHG is installed and the laws, rules, regulations and standards in the
country or region in which the GL-RHG is used/installed.
The result of this inspection must be kept on record along with the machine log.
