Machine tools - Safety - Guillotine shears

1.1   This European Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design as defined in 3.11 of EN 292-1:1991, manufacture and supply of guillotine shears which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal as defined in 3.1.7 and hereafter referred as machines.
1.2   This standard also covers guillotine shears whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, which are to be used in the same way to work other sheet materials (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber, leather).
1.3   The requirements in this standard take account of intended use, as defined in 3.12 of EN 292-1:1991. This standard presumes access to the guillotine shear from all directions, deals with the hazards described in clause 4, and specifies the safety requirements and/or protective measures for both the operator and other exposed persons.
1.4   This standard also applies to ancillary devices which are an integral part of the guillotine shear. This standard also applies to machines which are integrated into an automatic production line where the hazards and risk arising are comparable to those of machines working separately.
1.5   This standard includes guillotine shears in which energy is imparted to the blade by a number of means. e.g.:
a)   mechanically driven from a motor through a friction clutch;
b)   through a direct drive motor and brake;
c)   through hydraulic pressure;
d)   through pneumatic pressure.
1.6   This standard does not cover machines whose principal designed purpose is:
a)   cutting in other than a straight line (e.g. at nibbling machines);
b)   cutting by continuous action at crocodile shears (see 3.4).
1.7   This standard does not cover the safety requirements related to the use of PES or PPS. They will be dealt with at its next revision.
1.8   This standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

0 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming to the essential safety requirements of the “Machinery“ Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. It is a C-type standard as described in EN 1070:1998. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. When provisions of this C type standard are different from those which are stated in A or B standards, the provision of this C type standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this C type standard. Complementary guidance is given in the A and B standards to which reference is made in the text (see clause 2). The figures are intended to be examples only and not to give the only interpretation of the text. The requirements of this European Standard concern designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of machines described in the scope. This standard also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures 5.1 General The guillotine shears covered by this standard range in size from small to large machines with a single operator or several operators. The methods or measures to be implemented to eliminate the significant hazards or reduce their associated risks are detailed in this clause in the following manner:  basic design considerations for major guillotine components or systems (see 5.2);  safeguarding against mechanical hazards in the blade area under different modes of production (see 5.3);  protection against hazards due to control system or control component failures (see 5.4);  safeguarding against hazards which can occur during setting, trial strokes, maintenance and lubrication (see 5.5);  safeguarding against other hazards (see 5.6 to 5.8). SIST EN 13985:2003+A1:2009

Normally, a ratio of at least 3.5 to 1 between spring pressure in the brake and residual pressure in the cylinder is satisfactory. 5.2.2.12 Control valves and other control components (e.g. regulators, pressure gauges) shall be mounted in positions which provide accessibility and protection against damage. 5.2.2.13 Where valves are manually or mechanically (as distinct from electrically) operated, the arrangements for restoring the valves shall be positive (i.e. when the actuator of the valve is released, the valve shall automatically move to the safe position). See also 5.4.6. Any unintended movement due dissipation shall be avoided of stored energy according to EN 1037. NOTE
The safety position can be the open or closed position of a valve, depending upon the well-tried principles in the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit. SIST EN 13985:2003+A1:2009

Designers, manufacturers and suppliers shall provide wherever possible fixed guards to prevent access of exposed persons to the moving parts. Where fixed guarding is not practicable, designers, manufacturers, and suppliers shall select safeguarding methods which reduce the risks as far as possible, considering the principal hazards and the mode of production: a) interlocking guards (see EN 292, EN 953, EN 1088, 5.3.3.2, 5.3.3.3, 5.3.6.2); b) electro-sensitive protective devices (see EN 61496–1, pr EN 61496–2, 5.3.3.4, 5.3.6.3).

The openings giving access to danger zones and related safety distances of the fixed guard shall comply with Table 4 of EN 294:1992. The design of the fixed guard shall allow good visibility of the cutting line. Access shall be prevented to the danger zone via slots or grooves cut in the surface of the work table (see also Table 2). 5.3.3.3 Interlocking guards without guard locking Interlocking guards without guard locking shall comply with EN 953 and prevent, in conjunction with fixed guards, access to the danger zone (clamps, cutting line) during any hazardous movement. Initiation of the stroke shall be prevented until the guard gate is closed. The associated interlocking devices shall conform to EN 1088 and be designed and constructed in accordance with 6.2.2 of EN 1088:1995. The associated control system of the guillotine shear shall conform to category 4 of EN 954-1:1996. Interlocking guards without guard locking shall be placed in such a position that the operator does not have time to reach the danger zone before any hazardous movement in the tools area has ceased. Calculation of the safety distance shall be based on the overall response time of the guillotine shear coming to a stop and on the speed of movement of the operator. See EN 999 and annex A. 5.3.3.4 ESPE using AOPDs in the form light curtains ESPE using AOPDs in the form of light curtains shall comply with the following: a) light curtains and light beams shall conform to type 4 in accordance with 4.2.2.5 of EN 61496-1:1997, and be designed and constructed according to pr EN 61496-2:1997. The associated part of the control system of the guillotine shear shall conform to category 4 of EN 954-1:1996; b) access to the danger zone shall only be possible through the detection zone of the light curtain. Additional safeguarding shall prevent access to the danger zone from any other direc
