NOTE Definitions used in EN and ISO standards referred to in this document are also valid for this document. 3.1 casting to cast a component/product by the use of pressure diecasting SIST EN 869:2007+A1:2009
Metal spraying can occur if the nozzle is not firmly sealed to the die or to the gooseneck. The principal danger zones for hazards caused by metal spraying are shown in Figure A.7. 4.13.2 Initiation of the casting process due to a fault in the control system Metal spraying can occur if a fault causes metal to be injected with the die open. 4.14 Hydraulics and pneumatics Hazards due to the presence of hydraulic and pneumatic pressure can occur. 5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures 5.1 General Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document. For application of type B standards such as !EN ISO 13857", EN 349, !EN ISO 13850", EN 574, EN 60204-1, the manufacturer shall carry out an adequate risk assessment to establish the requirements of that standard which are to be applied (as far as the choice is not made in the requirements of this clause). NOTE The requirements of this standard and the described solutions are considered to offer an acceptable safety level. This does not exclude that other solutions can be acceptable if they offer an equivalent level of safety. The manufacturer of the pressure diecasting machine shall make provisions necessary for the integration of the ancillary equipment required for the intended use of the pressure diecasting unit. 5.2 Mechanical 5.2.1 General Guards and protective devices shall be designed according to EN ISO 12100 parts 1 and 2 and EN 953. The safety distances shall be in accordance with Table 2 and Table 4 of !EN ISO 13857:2008", EN 349 and EN 999. Guards and protective devices shall be designed so that they do not themselves cause hazards. !Fixing systems of fixed guards shall remain attached to the guards or to the machine when the guards are removed." If a guard is power operated it shall not create a trap. Either the power provided shall be insufficient to cause injury in the event of trapping, or the guards shall be provided according to EN 1760-2 with a trip device at its leading edge to prevent injury. Actuation of the trip device shall stop or reverse the direction of movement of the movable guard. !The part of the control system related to the trip device shall comply with at least performance level PL=c with use of category 1 as defined in EN ISO 13849-1:2008." SIST EN 869:2007+A1:2009
!The supplementary protective device, which protects persons getting behind the guard, can for example be a type 4 electro-sensitive protective device according to EN 61496-1 or an electromechanical or hydraulic-mechanical trip device with self-monitoring, in which case the related part of the control system shall comply with performance level PL=e with use of category 4 according to
EN ISO 13849-1:2008.".
If electro-sensitive protective devices are used as a supplementary protective device they shall be designed and arranged so that 1) the devices shall be operational as long as the diecasting machine is operational; 2) the devices shall not act as control devices with a start function; 3) the devices shall not be easily adjustable either in the vertical or in the horizontal direction by the operator; 4) the devices are interlocked with dangerous movements of the diecasting machine and its ancillary equipment. If, for technical reasons (mainly for big-sized machines), the options a) and b) cannot be fulfilled, the closing of a powered guard shall only be possible with a hold-to-run control device located at a position with a good view of the die area. 5.2.2.2 Whole-body access to the die area Diecasting machines with a clear vertical distance between the tie bars greater than 1 200 mm, where it is reasonably foreseeable that persons will enter the die area without complete shut-down of the machine, shall have measures taken for preventing the closing of the die when a person is in the die area (see also 7.2.1 d)). Suitable measures are a) a lockable control device mounted close to the access door(s). This device shall bring the machine to a special access mode where no initiation of a closing movement is possible, or SIST EN 869:2007+A1:2009
