33 Rev. 00
6 GUIDELINES FOR SAFE USE
6.1 General
The crimping machine GAMMA is designed and constructed in compliance with the relevant CE
Directives and the harmonized safety standards. Therefore, risks have been eliminated or reduced
as far as possible during the designing and constructing of the machine, furthermore, these instructions
inform the user about every residual risk. In case of malfunctions not foreseen, nor foreseeable in
these instructions, please, contact ATLA COOP before operating again with the machine.
6.2 Safety devices
Because of the very simple operating of the machine, there is no software in it. The crimping machine
is operated exclusively by means of the foot pedals. All control devices (pedals) are pneumatic
controlled as there is no electric system.
Turning off the machine is operated directly by the foot pedals, since all the operations are activated
by the operator step-by-step (forward movement of bracing clamp, crimping). For this reason the
machine is not equipped with emergency stop nor stop. The crimping cycle (forward movement of
knives and of vertical cylinder for clamping) is controlled by the monostable pedal; with releasing of
pedal the operation is aborted (all the units move back to their home position and this movement can
not cause risks). As regards the forward movement of the bracing clamp, it is controlled by the
pedal but can be blocked in the ON position (bracing clamp still in forward position); the last pedal
is operating only by the closed safety guard.
Turning off the machine at the end of the work shift (interruption of power supply to the machine) is
reached by disconnecting of pneumatic supply from the relevant connection (quick coupling).
