Notes on particular risks
This product may cause danger to persons and damage to
property if, for example
- is not used as intended,
- is improperly installed or maintained;
- the safety and assembly instructions, the safety and accident
prevention regulations valid at the place of use and the EC
Machinery Directive are not observed.
Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to the workpiece
falling down or being flung out in the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the lathe chuck's clamping force
may fail immediately and the workpiece may be released in an
uncontrolled manner. This poses a risk of death or injury to the
operating personnel and can result in serious damage to the
automated system.
• The machine manufacturer and the operator of the machine
must carry out and document a hazard assessment and risk
analysis to ensure that suitable measures are taken to
maintain the lathe chuck's clamping force until the machine
comes to a standstill and the workpiece can be secured (e.g.
using a crane or suitable lifting equipment).
• The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive; specifically, they
must have effective technical measures to protect against
potential mechanical hazards.
