Safety of machine tools - Transfer and special-purpose machines
1.1 This standard specifies the technical safety requirements and protective measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including information which must be provided for installation and dismantling, with arrangements for transport and maintenance) of transfer and special purpose machines (see 3.1). These machines are designed to process only a pre-specified metal or analogous material workpiece, or limited family of similar workpieces by means of a predetermined sequence of machining operations and process parameters.
1.2 This standard takes account of intended use, including reasonably foreseeable misuse, maintenance, cleaning, and setting operations. It specifies access arrangements to machining positions and manual load/unload stations (see 3.4). It presumes access to the machine from all directions. It describes means to reduce risks to operators and other exposed persons.
1.3 This standard also applies to transport devices for workpiece load/unload when they form an integral part of the machine.
1.4 This standard deals with significant hazards relevant to transfer and special purpose machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). The safety requirements and/or protective measures to prevent or minimise those hazards identified in Table 1 and procedures for verification of these requirements or measures are found in clause 5. Safety requirements and/or measures are not specified for: Fire and Explosion
1.5 Where machines employ processes which are covered by other standards (e.g. grinding, turning, forming, EDM, laser processing), the requirements of those standards should be applied (see Bibliography).
1.6 This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after publication of this standard by CEN.
Sicherheit von Werkzeugmaschinen - Transfer- und Einzweck- oder Sondermaschinen
1.1 Diese Norm legt die technischen Sicherheitsanforderungen und Schutzmaßnahmen fest, die von
Personen zu beachten sind, die mit der Konstruktion, dem Bau und der Lieferung (einschließlich Installation
und Demontage, mit Vorkehrungen für Transport und Instandhaltung) von Transfer- und Einzweck- oder
Sondermaschinen befasst sind (siehe 3.1). Diese Maschinen sind nur für die Bearbeitung eines vorher
festgelegten Werkstückes oder einer beschränkten Teilefamilie durch eine vorgegebene Folge von
Bearbeitungsvorgängen und Prozessen gestaltet.

In addition, the transfer and special purpose machines shall be designed according to the principles of EN 292 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this standard. 5.2 Specific requirements Table 2 — List of safety requirements and/or protective measures and their verification procedures NOTE The numbering of various provisions in this table is in accordance with Table 1 and hence missing numbers correspond to hazards which are not significant Hazards
Safety requirement and/or protective measure Verification 1 Mechanical 1.1 Work zone
1.1.1 Guarding strategy Fixed and/or interlocked movable guards shall enclose the work zone during the operating cycle of the machine (see Figure C.7). NOTE
General guidance for the design and selection of safeguards, where the hazards from moving parts cannot be avoided by design is given in 4.1, 4.2 and Table 1 of EN 292-2:1991. For the purposes of this clause,
1) all applications of protective equipment shall be in accordance with the following:electro sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) in accordance with EN 61496-1, active opto–electronic protective devices (AOPDs) in accordance with IEC 61496-2, type 4, pressure sensitive protective devices (PSPDs) in accordance with EN 1760-1. 2) Guards shall be in accordance with EN 953, and interlocking devices shall be in accordance with EN 1088. Visual inspection
1. 1. 2 Guard characteristics
1.1.2.1 Location and height
Where reasonably practicable, work zone guarding shall be fixed to the structure of the machine and prevent access to the hazard. Any opening between the bottom of the guard and the floor shall not exceed 300 mm with a corresponding distance to the hazard, (s), in accordance with Table A.1 of EN 811:1996. Where guards are floor mounted (e.g. perimeter fencing), they shall be securely fixed and have a minimum height of 1,4 m at a distance in accordance with Table 2 of EN 294:1992 from the hazard zone.
Measurements to ensure compliance with EN 294
1.1.2.2 Containment Guards shall be designed to contain and/or prevent exposure to swarf/chips, fluids and parts that can be discharged or ejected (see also 17.1 and 17.2 ejection, 7.1.4 fluids mists and 19.2 slip, trip and fall of persons). Practical check SIST EN 14070:2004+A1:2009
Safety requirement and/or protective measure Verification 1 Mechanical (continued) 1.1.2.3 Observation Where, during the operating cycle of the machine, observation of the machine process(es) is required, means (e.g. windows, mesh panels) shall be provided so that this can be achieved without the need to open, remove or suspend any work zone guard or other protective device(s) (see also 8.4 lighting, in this table).
If these measures are not practicable for maintenance and trouble-shooting activities, alternative safe systems of work (see 3.7.10 and 4.1.4 of EN 292–2:1991) shall be prescribed (see clause 7). Visual inspection
1.1.3 Interlocking
All guards through which frequent access to the work zone is required (i.e. more than once per shift) shall be interlocked and guard locking shall be provided (see 3.3 of EN 1088:1995) Measures to minimize the possible defeat of interlocking device(s) shall be taken (see clauses 5 and 7 of EN 1088:1995).
Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.4 Modes of operation
1.1.4.1 General The machine shall be provided with at least two basic modes of operation. These modes shall be: 1 Automatic (either single cycle or continuous cycle) and 2 Setting
Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.4.2 Mode selection Operating modes shall be selected by means of a key switch, access code or equally secure means at the main control console.
Where mode selection is also provided at individual unit control consoles, automatic operation shall only be permitted when all mode selection switches are set to automatic.
The machine shall be provided with a stop end of cycle control device. The actuation of this device shall cause the machine to stop at the end of the current cycle and further cycling shall be inhibited,
When the setting mode is selected at the main control console and the machine is in its working cycle, the cycle shall be interrupted and any further automatic operation shall be inhibited. When the setting mode is selected at any unit control while the machine is in its working cycle, the cycle of that unit shall be interrupted and the cycles of all other units shall stop at the end of the current machine cycle. Any further automatic operation shall be inhibited.
The interlocked guards shall remain locked. Subsequent access can be gained by activating human machine interface (HMI) or pushbutton as applicable to release the lock. A visual indicating device at the main control console shall be provided when setting mode has been selected and an interlocked work zone guard is open. Mode selection on the main control console shall be in accordance with 3.7.9 of EN 292-2:1991
Visual inspection,
practical check, examination of circuit diagrams
1.1.4.3 Requirements for automatic operation All moveable interlocked guards shall be closed and/or the protective devices shall be active to permit operation in automatic cycle.
Where multiple main control cycle start devices are provided only one shall be enabled at any time (See also 3.7.8 of EN 292–2:1991). An audible warning shall be provided prior to the start of automatic operation if the entire work zone is not visible from the start control location.

When any interlocked movable guard is open or a protective device is suspended, powered machine movements shall be inhibited except under the following conditions:
a) Axis movements at a maximum rate of 2 m/min. or a maximum increment of 10 mm. These movements shall be selected one axis at a time and may be initiated and maintained by one of the following means: – a hold-to-run control device;– manual data input (MDI) followed by cycle start together with an enabling device (see 9.2.5.8 of EN 60204-1:1997).
