CEN/TC 143/WG 3 - Turning machines - Safety

This European Standard sets out the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risk on work holding chucks which are defined in 3.1.
This European standard covers all the hazards relevant to this component.
These hazards are listed in clause 4.
The requirements of this standard concern designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of work holding chucks.
This standard also includes information which the manufacturer shall provide to the user.
This standard is primarily directed to components which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on general purpose horizontal multi-spindle and vertical multi-spindle automatic turning machines which are designed primarily to work cold metal as defined in 3.1 and hereafter referred to as "machines".
NOTE   Hazards arising from other metal processes (e.g. grinding, laser processing) are covered by other standards (see Bibliography).
Horizontal single spindle and vertical single spindle automatic turning machines are covered by EN 12415:2000.
This standard covers the significant hazards, listed in clause 4.
¾ This standard applies to numerically and/or mechanically controlled multi-spindle automatic turning machines;
The standard also applies to ancillary devices, e.g. collets, power operated chucks, bar/workpiece handling devices and swarf handling equipment which are integral to the machine.
This standard also applies to machines which are integrated into an automatic production line or turning cell in as much as the hazards and risks arising are comparable to those of machines working separately.
This European Standard is not applicable to NC turning machines with machining facilities under manual control which are dealt with in EN 12840:2001.
This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and the risks on general purpose manually controlled horizontal or vertical spindle turning machines which may have limited or unlimited automatic control which are intended to work cold metal and herein after referred to as "machines". This Standard covers all significant hazards, which are listed in clause 4.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on general purpose numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres which are designed primarily to work cold metal with no access to the work-zone during machining as defined in 3.1 and 3.2 and hereafter referred to as "machines". This Standard covers the significant hazards, listed in clause 4.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on general purpose numerically controlled large turning machines and turning centres which are designed primarily to work cold metal as defined in 3.1 and 3.2 and herein after referred to as "machines". This Standard covers all significant relevant hazards which are listed in clause 4.
