6.2. Danger Zones
Danger zones are the areas of the machine, which represent a risk for persons due to mechanical
motion/movements during operation of the Synchroprint 3000. This includes all areas of the
machine where rotary motions, pressure movements and/or any other movements take place.
If any work is to be carried out on the Synchroprint 3000 that requires entering, leaning into or
placing one’s hands into any one of these safety areas, one of the following conditions must be met:
1. The main control switch has been switched OFF.
2. The EMERGENCY STOP push button has been firmly pressed and locked in.
3. One of the safety barriers has been pushed and locked in.
6.3. Safety Devices
The safety devices serve as emergency stop facilities to avoid accidents and to guarantee safe
operation of the machine. The Synchroprint 3000 has the following safety devices:
EMERGENCY STOP
(push button)
Push button located at the main control panel. In case of emergency,
pressing the EMERGENCY STOP will stop all movements of the
machine. The function of the push button is cancelled by unlocking
the switch (turning it to the right).
Yellow/black bars located at the right and the left of the ‘load/unload’
area. Pressing any one of these bars will result in an immediate
EMERGENCY STOP of the machine. The location of these bars
ensures that the EMERGENCY STOP function is activated
automatically should a person become trapped between print station
and pallet.
Yellow/black barriers located between the print stations which serve
to cordon off the danger zone. As soon as they are opened by a
person passing through, an immediate EMERGENCY STOP is
activated.
MHM strongly recommend marking this zone with a color floor marking
indicating the danger and the respective accident prevention regulations of the
operator’s particular country (e.g. red/white or yellow/black stripes).
If a completely inactive machine is required, the main power switch must be in
the ‘OFF’ position.
