SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
3.3 Work area enclosure and work area door
The work area enclosure and work area door are safety partitions.
During setup and production of workpieces, it is possible for machine parts or work-
pieces to accidentally come loose and be thrown around.
If this happens, the safety partition protects the personnel at the machine against
dangers resulting from this situation. For this reason, no modifications may be made
to the safety partition.
The specified impact resistance of the safety partition must be observed. Detailed
specifications for the resistance classes can be found in the applicable standards.
The impact resistance is rated based on the forces expected, but it may be exceed-
ed due to special process parameters.
This applies, in particular, when specially adapted clamping devices are used. For
the selection and adaptation of clamping devices not provided as standard, the
technical limits and impact resistance of the machine and the instructions for the
clamping devices must be observed.
The protective measures were implemented according to the applicable type C
standard for the machine, although a residual risk always remains.
During production, always maintain a distance of at least
20cm from the work area door, which must always be closed.
In setup mode, the possible movements are severely restricted (e.g., by reduced
axis speeds) when the work area door is open.
Automatic work area doors do not have handles, in order to prevent people from
getting caught during movements of the door.
The interlock on the work area door must not be tampered with or disabled.
