5. SAFETY ANALYSIS FOR A CORRECT INCORPORATION
Before considering assembling the machine, it is necessary to consider the following points:
· Consider safety strategies that reduce risks to an acceptable level;
· Define the tasks required for applications to predict and assess the need of access and / or for
the approach;
· Identify sources of risks, including failures and failure modes associated with each task. Risks
can come from:
o machine in which the device ALPHA 538/552 is integrated;
o its association with other equipment,
o People’s interaction with the machine.
· Evaluate and assess the risks associated by using the machine ALPHA 538/552:
o programming risks
o operation risks
o risks of use
o maintenance risks
· Choose methods of protection :
o the use of protective devices
o the introduction of signals
o compliance with safe work procedures
Once the bar feeder has been aligned and anchored to the ground, the bar feeder must be connected to
