•
Ar
e the reference targets unobstructed so that the safety laser scanners of the
other industrial trucks have a clear view of them?
•
Are the reference targets and the scan planes of the safety laser scanners at the
same height under all foreseeable conditions?
•
Are the collision protection fields aligned with the reference targets under all
foreseeable conditions?
•
Are the reference targets intact and clean?
•
Is the safety laser scanner correctly connected to the controller of the industrial
truck?
•
Is the signal of each collision protection field correctly evaluated in the controller
of the industrial truck?
If the thorough check reveals an error, the machine should be shut down immediately.
In this case, the mounting and electrical installation of the device must be checked by
appropriately qualified safety personnel.
Thorough visual check of the machine and the protective device
SIC
K recommends the following procedure:
►
Check whether the machine or the protective device has been modified or manipu‐
lated so that the effectiveness of the protective device may be impaired.
►
Check the following points in particular.
°
Has the machine been retrofitted?
°
Have machine parts been removed?
°
Have modifications been made to the machine’s surroundings?
°
Are there any defective cables or open cable ends?
°
Have the protective device or its parts been dismantled?
°
Is the protective device damaged?
°
Is the protective device severely contaminated?
°
Is the optics cover contaminated, scratched or destructed?
°
Has the protective device’s alignment been changed?
°
Are there any objects (e.g. cables, reflective surfaces) in the protective field?
If one of the points applies, the machine should be shut down immediately. In this
case, the machine and the protective device must be checked by appropriately qualified
safety personnel.
