4.4 Organisational issues
The spindle can only be installed, activated, maintained and if necessary repaired by persons familiar
with this product and having the required qualifications. It is the responsibility of the client to make
certain that the assembly instructions are supplemented with internal directives concerning
supervision, obligation to report events, organisation of work, personnel qualifications, etc.
Competences for the various activities relating to installation and activation of the spindle must be
clearly defined and respected in order to prevent any lack of precision in these matters.
This is particularly applicable for work on the electrical and pneumatic equipment. This work must be
executed only by persons particularly trained for these tasks.
All persons responsible for work on the spindle must have read and understood these assembly
instructions.
In addition to the assembly instructions please observe the following:
-
The safety and danger notices in the separate documentation for the peripheral devices.
-
All local and generally applicable precautions relating to work safety, the prevention of
accidents and the environment.
Without written authorisation from MEYRAT SA, no additions or modifications can be undertaken on
the spindle or the peripheral devices.
To replace spindle components, use only original replacement parts and parts from MEYRAT SA.
4.5 Specific product dangers
!
DANGER!
In spite of correct use of the spindle, there is still a risk of bodily harm or death
of the user or a third party, as well as a risk of damage to the spindle or other equipment.
Thus, the following precautions regarding safety and danger warnings must be respected
and observed when the electric spindle operates at very high speeds.
Under these conditions, it is possible that chips or parts of tools, in case of tool breakage,
will be ejected at high speeds. The following measures must be taken on machines where
the spindle is installed.
-
The work area must be able to be enclosed in a cabin.
-
The cabin door must be equipped with a control such that the start-up of the
spindle rotation is only possible if the door is closed.
-
The cabin itself must be designed so that neither chips nor parts of tools can go
through the walls or windows/glass panels.
!
DANGER!
Non-compliance with this precaution can lead to personal injury or death.
