DANGER
Dangerous movements! Danger to life and risk
of injury or equipment damage!
Personnel protection must be secured for the above
listed reason by means of superordinate monitors or
measures.
These are implemented in accordance with the spe-
cific situation of the plant/system and a danger and
fault analysis conducted by the manufacturer of the
plant/system. All the safety regulations that apply to
this plant/system are included. By switching off, cir-
cumventing or if safety devices have simply not been
activated, then random machine movements or other
types of faults can occur.
Avoiding accidents, injury or property damage:
Keep free and clear of the machine’s range of mo-
tion and moving parts. Prevent people from acci-
dentally entering the machine’s range of movement:
- use protective fences
- use protective railings
- install protective coverings
- install light curtains or light barriers
Fences must be strong enough to withstand maxi-
mum possible momentum.
Mount the emergency stop switch (E-stop) in the
immediate reach of the operator. Verify that the
emergency stop works before start-up. Don’t operate
the machine if the emergency stop is not working.
Isolate the drive power connection by means of an
emergency stop circuit or use a start-inhibit system
to prevent unintentional start-up.
Make sure that the drives are brought to standstill
before accessing or entering the danger zone.
Secure vertical axes against falling or slipping after
switching off the motor power by, for example:
- Mechanically securing the vertical axes
- Adding an external brake / clamping mechanism
- Balancing and thus compensating for the vertical
axes weight and the gravitational force
The standard equipment motor brake or an external
brake controlled directly by the servo drive are not
sufficient to guarantee the safety of personnel!
Disconnect electrical power to the equipment using a
master switch and lock-out the switch against reclo-
sure:
- for maintenance and repair work
- for cleaning of equipment
- if the equipment is not used for long periods of time
