11.2 -
OPERATOR’S SAFETY
This section illustrates the safety protections applied on the saw, according to the current legislation in the field of
safety.
11.2.1. ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT – Norm EN 60204-01
.
Electric board closed with screws - general switch
. Marking of the electric components used, according to the indications on the electric scheme
. Control circuit with 24V tension
– Control transformer with fuses on input and output
. Earthing of all electric parts with a dedicated GREEN/YELLOW wire, connected with a TN system to the supply
cable. A supplementary earthing point
– indicated with PE – can be located on the metallic structure of the machine.
. Minimum tension coil that prevents accidental restarting after a lack of tension.
. Protection from overloads and high temperature thanks to bimetal thermo-protectors placed directly in the blade
motor
. Emergency button for interrupting immediately all the movements of the machine. In order to restore all the
functions, rotate the button half a turn.
. Sensor of the blade tension: in case the blade breaks or the tension strength diminishes, the machine stops
immediately
. Sensor of the closing of the blade protection: if it opens during an automatic cycle, the machine stops.
. Sensor for opening/closing of the vices: they check that both vices have been properly positioned
. The stops caused by one of the aforementioned devices needs a complete restoring of the working cycle
11.2.2 – PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL CONTACTS
.
Complete metallic protection of the blade and the pulleys, the blade-cleaning brush and the back blade-driving
pads
. Forward metallic moving guard, fixed to the forward blade-driving pad. It assures the coverage of the blade in
every position, except for the stretch of blade which makes the cut. Joint to the blade-driving pad, it can be opened
only after the opening of the main protection
. Positioning of the saw blade thanks to the buttons located on the control board, in order to limit the width of the
danger area to the stretch of blade strictly necessary for the cut.
. During the cycle an automatic approaching device stops the saw blade near the material, in order to start the cut.
. Clamping vice with a maximum stroke of 7 mm, according to the norms on automatic closing
. Guard extended to both sides which retains the coolant used during the cut, preventing it from spilling on the floor
. Parts of the machine with suitably chamfered or rounded angles
11.2.3. LIGHTING OF THE WORKING AREA
An inadequate lighting can cause accidents to the operator, who consequently needs a suited lighting in the working
area. In case of a lack of precise indications (for example, norm ISO 8995) for special areas, we advise to supply a
lighting equal to 750 LUX.
12 - MACHINE DESCRIPTION, E.C. SAFETY NORMS
This is a semiautomatic/automatic electronic, hydraulic bandsaw equipped with position sensor that allows a fast
drop by the sawframe. Suitable for cutting metal profiles and solids from 0° to 60° left.
