1.1 Work zone
1.1.1 Primary safeguards The work zones of automatic machines shall be safeguarded. The guarding arrangements shall be designed to prevent access to hazardous situations. NOTE
General guidance for the design 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 protective equipment shall be in accordance with the following:in accordance with EN 61496-1:1997 (ESPE), in accordance with prEN 61496-2:1997, category 4 (AOPD), in accordance with EN 61496-1:1997 (PSPD). 2) Guards shall be in accordance with EN 953:1997, and interlocking devices shall be in accordance with EN 1088:1995. Visual inspection
1.1.2 Guarding strategies
1.1.2.1 General The work zone shall be enclosed where possible by fixed and/or interlocked movable guards during machining operations. Where enclosure is not reasonably practicable (e.g. due to the size of the workpiece, its geometry, other special characteristics of the machine or its application), operators and other exposed persons shall be safeguarded by a combination of other means (e.g. protected operator position (cabin), perimeter guarding, other protective devices). Visual inspection, assessment
1.1.2.2 Enclosure Where reasonably practicable, work zone guarding shall be fixed to the structure of the machine (see 3.2.1 of EN 953:1997) (see also guard characteristics below and figures C.10 (a), (b), (c)). Visual inspection Examination of drawings
1.1.2.3 Alternatives to enclosures Access to the work zone, by the operator, from the normal (fixed) operating position shall be prevented by local guarding (typically forming a cabin - see figure C.10(d)). Access to the cabin shall not require entry into the hazard zone enclosed by perimeter fencing or other protective devices. Where this is not possible because of the machine configuration or other operating constraints, the access route to the operating position shall not require approach to hazardous situations. Visual inspection
Where the machine operator requires access to the work zone from the protected (fixed) operating position (cabin) e.g. for setting purposes or process control, the cabin shall be designed so that access is via an interlocked movable guard from within the cabin. Alternatively the movement of a pendant control from the cabin position shall have the same effect as the interlocked guard above. Operation of the machine in mode 1 (automatic cycle) shall only be possible when the pendant control (above) is relocated in the cabin. Any other powered movement of machine elements shall only be achieved by selection of the appropriate operating mode (see operating modes below).
Access to the work zone by persons other than the machine operator shall be prevented by perimeter fencing and/or other means (e.g. electrosensitive protective equipment (ESPE), active-opto electronic protective devices (AOPDs), pressure sensitive protective devices (PSPDs). Where access points (e.g. gates), are provided they shall be interlocked. Where interlocking is not possible because of the particular machine configuration and application, any non interlocked access points shall be within the visual field of the operator(s) from the normal working position. Where it is foreseen that the machine will be operated unattended, for some or all of the operating cycle, other means of access control (e.g. key pad operated locks), shall be provided to prevent unauthorised access. Visual inspection, conformance to drawings/ specifications
Safety requirement and/or protective measureVerification1 Mechanical (continued) 1.1.3 Multiple work zones Where more than one work zone is provided on a single machine, safeguards(e.g. fixed or movable interlocked guards, AOPD, ESPE) shall protect the operator(s) from adjacent active work zone hazards (e.g. when loading or unloading workpieces in a non-active work zone, cleaning). Unauthorised movement of the machine into an adjacent non-active work zone shall be prevented using a limiting device. (e.g. mechanical stops, range limit switches, light beams, AOPDs). Visual inspection, functional test to ensure compliance, conformance to drawings/ specifications
1.1.4 Guard Characteristics
1.1.4.1 Height and Position 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. Any opening between the bottom of the guard and the floor shall not exceed 300 mm. Measurements to ensure compliance with EN 294
1.1.4.2 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 7.1.4 mist and vapour, 17.1 fluids mists and 17.2 ejection, 19.2 contamination of floors etc., in table 5). Practical check
1.1.4.3 Observation Where routine observation of the machine operation is required, means (e.g. windows) 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 table 5). Visual inspection
1.1.5 Interlocking
1.1.5.1 All movable guards through which frequent access to the work zone is required (i.e. more than once per shift) shall be interlocked. Opening of a guard or actuation of a protective device in mode 1 (automatic cycle - see below) shall cause hazardous movements to stop and further movement to be inhibited (see EN 1037). Measures to minimise the possible defeat of interlocking device(s) shall be taken (see clauses 5 and 7 of EN 1088:1995). Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.5.2 If opening of an interlocking movable guard exposes operators to hazards listed from 1.1 to 1.7 of table 1, guard locking shall be provided (see EN 1088 and also 7.2.m) of clause 7). Practical check
1.1.6 Modes of operation
1.1.6.1 General Each machine shall have at least two modes of operation (i.e. modes 1 and 2) with the option of a third mode (i.e. mode 3). The selection of a mode of operation shall be either by key switch, access code or equally secure means and shall only be permitted from outside the work zone. Selection of a mode shall not initiate hazardous situations. Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.6.2 Mode 1 - Automatic cycle [automatic production] The guards shall be closed and/or the protective devices be active to permit execution of programmed sequential machine operation under numerical control. Practical check
1.1.6.3 Mode 2 – Setting Setting mode is a mode of operation in which adjustments for the subsequent machining process are performed by the operator.
NOTE
Assessment of tool or workpiece position, e.g. by
touching the workpiece with a probe or tool, and programme sequence checking, belong to the setting mode.
When any interlocked movable guard is open or a protective device is suspended, powered machine movements shall only be permitted under the following conditions:
a) Axis movements at a maximum rate of 2 m/min or a maximum increment of 10 mm. Measurement
Safety requirement and/or protective measureVerification1 Mechanical (continued) 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; – an electronic handwheel; – manual data input (MDI) followed by cycle start together with an enabling device.
Practical check
b) Spindle speed shall be limited by its stopping performance which shall not exceed 2 revolutions. Measurement
Spindle rotation shall only be initiated and maintained by one of the following means: – a hold-to-run control device – a spindle start control device together with an enabling device. Release of an enabling device shall initiate a category 1 stop in accordance with 9.2.2 of EN 60204-1:1997. Practical check
c) The limits of speed or incremental distance [defined in a) and b) above] shall be monitored and if exceeded, the power to the drives shall be removed by a controlled stop (Category 1 - see 9.2.2 of EN 60204-1:1997). Examination of circuit diagrams, practical check
d) Means shall be provided to prevent hazardous movement of vertical or slant axes under gravity.
Practical check
e) Automatic workpiece changing mechanisms shall remain inhibited. Initiation of their automatic movement shall only be possible by reselection of mode 1.
Practical check
Exception: For maintenance in mode 2 only, the provisions contained in 1.1 of table 5 shall be permitted.
Practical check
f) Unguarded swarf/chip conveyor movements shall only be initiated and maintained by a hold-to-run control device.
Visual inspection, examination of circuit diagrams
g) Where multiple hold-to-run control device locations are provided (e.g. main control station, hand-held pendant), only one shall be functional at a time. Practical check
!!!!1.1.6.4 Mode 3 - Optional mode for manual intervention under restricted operating conditions When provided, this mode permits use of the machine under manual or numerical control with work zone guards open and/or protective devices suspended under the following conditions:
a) This mode shall only be provided when details of the intended application are known and the required skill level of operators shall be defined in the instruction handbook (see 7.2 f) and g) of this European Standard). Visual inspection (of Instruction handbook)
b) Single axis and multiple axis vector speeds shall be limited to 5 m/min. Measurement SIST EN 13128:2002+A2:2009
c) Spindle speed shall be limited by its stopping performance which shall not exceed 5 revolutions. NOTE 1 In order to achieve this stopping requirement it may be necessary to provide tool diameter identification or measurement systems to limit the permitted speed of the spindle for each tool used. NOTE 2 Alternative solutions to this clause have been considered during the development of this standard but no firm conclusions have been reached. This particular problem will be re-visited in a future revision of this European Standard. Measurement SIST EN 13128:2002+A2:2009
