The safety related control systems of this machine are those for: starting (see 5.1.3); normal stopping (see 5.1.4); emergency stop (see 5.1.5); interlocking (see 5.2.7); interlocking with guard locking (see 5.2.7); trip devices (see 5.2.7); opening or closing the guard during sliding table movement (see 5.2.7) which: a) ensures that the workpiece remains clamped in the event of power failure (see 5.2.8); and b) on integrated fed machines prevents movement of the table if the workpiece is not clamped !deleted text". spindle positioning (see 5.2.3); the dumping of residual pressure (see 5.3.15); preventing unexpected start up in the event of power supply failure (see EN 1037:1995); mode selection (see 5.1.7); stopping the feed (see 5.1.6); SIST EN 1218-1:2000+A1:2009
If the machine is fitted with a mechanical brake the emergency stop control system shall conform to
category 0 in accordance with 9.2.5.4 of !EN 60204-1:2006" and category 0 in accordance with 4.1.5 of
!EN ISO 13850:2006". If the machine is fitted with an electrical brake and/or power operated clamping the emergency stop control system shall conform to category 1 in accordance with 9.2.5.4 of !EN 60204-1:2006" and category 1 in accordance with 4.1.5 of !EN ISO 13850:2006". On hand fed machines an emergency stop or emergency stops shall be fitted and shall be located so that the operator can reach an emergency stop with the sliding table in any position. The stopping sequence described in 5.1.4 shall apply. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing on the machine. 5.1.6 Integrated feed The feed shall not operate unless the spindles are all rotating or the non-rotating spindles are retracted into a non-cutting position and the requirements of 5.2.8 are met. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing on the machine. 5.1.7 Mode Selection A mode selection switch shall be provided if a power operated guard has to be released for maintenance, including tool changing. The following requirements for mode selection shall apply: a) the guard cannot be released until power to the tool spindle drive motor is removed; b) power to the tool spindle drive shall not be available until the guard is closed; c) power shall be removed from the feed; d) it shall be possible to release the brakes; e) power to the spindle positioning facilities shall be removed.
If the mode selection switch also allows powered spindle positioning, it shall comply with a) to d) but power shall remain available for spindle positioning. Use of the mode selection switch alone shall not initiate any movement. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing on the machine. SIST EN 1218-1:2000+A1:2009
!Annex A". That part of the spindle upon which the tools are located shall have a tolerance of g6. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings, inspection and measurement. 5.2.3.2 Strength The tool spindles shall be manufactured in steel with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 580 N mm-2. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings !deleted text". !NOTE For the ultimate tensile strength a confirmation from the manufacturer of the material can be useful." 5.2.3.3 Dimensions for Spindles and Tools Having particular regard to the balancing requirements shown in !EN 847-1:2005" in determining, for a given spindle diameter, the maximum length of the spindle, its maximum speed and the maximum mass and dimensions of the tool that can be used, the manufacturer shall be able to prove the adequacy of the design. Verification: by calculation or other method, e.g. test, etc. SIST EN 1218-1:2000+A1:2009
An automatic brake shall be provided for each tool spindle. The braked run-down time shall be: a) less than 10 s; or b) where the run-up time exceeds 10 s be less than the run-up time but shall in no case exceed 30 s. Verification: for the determination of run-up time and braked run-down time see the appropriate test below. 5.2.4.2 Conditions for all tests The spindle unit shall be set in accordance with the manufacturers instructions (e.g. belt tension). When selecting the speed and the tools, conditions shall be chosen which create the greatest kinetic energy for which the spindle is designed. Warm up the spindle unit for at least 15 min by running the machine at the intended speed under no load before beginning the test. Verify that the actual spindle speed is within 10 % of the intended speed. The manufacturer’s instructions for starting shall be observed when testing a unit provide with manual star delta starting.

No crushing/shearing risks shall be created between the sliding table or any other moving element and any fixed part of the machine. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection and functional testing on the machine. 5.2.7.1 Guarding of tools on hand fed machines Access to the tools on hand fed machines shall be prevented as follows: a) by means of a combination of fixed and interlocked moveable guards which, together with the workpiece and associated adjustable guards, totally enclose and prevent access to the tools e.g. see figure 1; or b) as in a) but where the guards only partially enclose the tools e.g. see figure 2 and access is prevented by additional design features which comply with the requirements of !EN ISO 13857:2008" and
EN 349:1993; or c) by means of power operated or self closing guards such that the tools are inaccessible at all times except during the working and return stroke of the sliding table e.g. see figure 3. Opening and closing of these guards shall be initiated and controlled by the sliding mechanism. In addition a deterring/impeding device shall be attached to the sliding table. This device shall prevent horizontal access, in a direction perpendicular to the device, to any exposed tool or part of the tool over the full length of the travel of the table. Any deterring/impeding device fixed to the sliding table shall not be removable without the aid of a tool; or d) a combination of a) to c). In addition, where it is necessary that parts of the safeguarding provided are designed to be opened or removed, e.g. for tool changing, setting, adjustment, cleaning, off-cut removal etc., these parts shall be interlocked moveable guards with guard locking.
