DANGER
Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to the workpiece
falling down or being flung out in the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the lathe chuck's clamping force
may fail immediately and the workpiece may be released in an
uncontrolled manner. This poses a risk of death or injury to the
operating personnel and can result in serious damage to the
automated system.
• The machine manufacturer and the operator of the machine
must carry out and document a hazard assessment and risk
analysis to ensure that suitable measures are taken to
maintain the lathe chuck's clamping force until the machine
comes to a standstill and the workpiece can be secured (e.g.
using a crane or suitable lifting equipment).
• The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive; specifically, they
must have effective technical measures to protect against
potential mechanical hazards.
