Disassembly and disposal
TRUMPF recommends commissioning Technical Service or a
specialist disposal company with the dismantling and disposal of
a machine, component or system. The information below must
be passed on to the specialist company performing the disposal
work.
The following measures must be taken to avoid dangers during
disassembly:
■
Lower moving assemblies and suspended loads. Secure or
support defective moving assemblies and suspended loads.
■
Switch off the machine, component or system and wait at
least 1 hour until residual voltages have dissipated and hot
components have cooled down.
■
If available: shut off the compressed air and gas supply and
disconnect them from the customer's system.
■
Relieve the pressure in pressurized components.
■
Clean away contamination, especially dust.
■
Have the machine, component or system disconnected from
the power supply by a trained electrician.
■
Cordon off the areas in which removal and storage are tak-
ing place.
Hazard
Necessary action
Toxic vapors due to thermal sepa-
ration of painted components or
composites.
■
Select a suitable cutting proc-
ess.
■
Wear a suitable protective mask.
■
Ensure sufficient fresh air sup-
ply.
High or eccentric center of gravity
of an assembly or machine.
■
Secure the assembly or
machine against tipping.
■
Put the assembly or machine
into the transport position.
■
Use transport securing devices
to prevent tipping.
Suspended load due to assem-
blies that cannot be lowered.
■
Secure or support suspended
load.
Moving assemblies (unbraked)
after separation from the power
supply system.
■
Secure movable assemblies.
Unstable assemblies after loosen-
ing connecting parts or anchors.
■
Secure unstable assemblies to
prevent loosening.
Release of mechanical tension by
loosening chains, ropes and other
components.
■
Relieve components under ten-
sion in a controlled manner.
Residual pressure in hydraulic or
compressed air systems caused
by a defective machine or compo-
nent.
■
Release pressure from pressur-
ized assemblies in a proper
manner.
