In Clause 4, add the following subclause:
"4.3.7 Machines with one or more electrical axes
Mechanical hazards connected with the movement of machine parts with electrical axes.
Electrical or electromagnetic disturbances generated by the motor control unit which are liable to create
failures in the control system."
5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
In the hanging text of Clause 5, modify in second paragraph, at the end of second sentence as follows:
"(see 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.7.1)."
In Clause 5, add the following subclauses:
“5.3.7 Machines with one or more electrical axes
5.3.7.1 Emergency stop
The emergency stop shall function as a category 1 stop of EN 60204-1:1997, 9.2.2. Emergency stop devices
shall be in accordance with EN 60204-1:1997, 10.7.
5.3.7.2 Electrical axis for the horizontal movement of the platen
5.3.7.2.1 Safe standstill when a guard for the mould area is open
When one of the interlocking guards with guard locking for the mould area specified in 5.3.7.2.2.1is open, safe
standstill shall be achieved by interrupting the energy supply to the movement of the platen by two channels
according to G.1, G.2 or G.3 or according to category 4 of EN 954-1:1996.
The interruption by both channels shall be independent from the programmable controller. The following shall
be used:
contactor(s) in the power supply to the electrical motor or the motor control unit; and/or
safety related input(s) to the motor control unit.
Automatic monitoring of the safety related components is required so that in case of a fault in one of those
components, it is not possible to initiate the next movement. Automatic monitoring shall be carried out at least
once during each movement cycle of the movable guard.
5.3.7.2.2 Prevention of access to hazardous areas created by the movement of the platen
5.3.7.2.2.1 Mould area
Access to the area between the platens shall be prevented by interlocking guards with guard locking.
Guard locking shall remain effective until standstill has been detected (see Annex G).
For the guard locking device well tried components according to category 1 of EN 954-1:1996 shall be used.
The components shall be designed to withstand a minimum force of 1 000 N, applied e.g. when trying to open
one of the guards when the guard locking is still effective.
Detection of standstill shall be safe against single fault. This shall be done by:
monitoring two independent standstill signals; or
standstill detection according to category 3 of EN 954-1:1996; or
permanent monitoring of the change of position of the platen by means of a motor encoder.
5.3.7.2.2.2 Clamping mechanism area
Where access to the platen and its drive mechanism is prevented by movable guards (see 5.2.2), these shall
be interlocking guards according to G.6 or G.7 or according to category 3 of EN 954-1:1996.
In the case of dangerous run-down, i.e. t (access time) < T (overall system stopping performance as defined
in EN 999:1998, 3.2), the guards for the clamping mechanism area shall be interlocking guards with guard
locking.
Guard locking shall remain effective until standstill has been detected. Detection of standstill shall be safe
th
against single fault, as specified in 5.3.7.2.2.1, 4 paragraph.
In the case of an interlocking guard without guard locking for the clamping mechanism area the access time (t)
shall be calculated as follows:
d
t = + ∆t
v
where
t is the access time in s;
d is the distance between guard and dangerous point in m;
v is 1,6 m/s, approach speed see EN 999:1998;
∆t is 100 ms, to take into account the time necessary to open the guard sufficiently to gain access to the
protected area.
When calculating or measuring the overall system stopping performance for the movement of the platen and
its drive mechanism, the worst case shall be taken into account related to speed, mass, temperature. See
7.1.9.
5.3.7.3 Electrical axis for the movement of the plasticizing and/or injection unit
For this movement, the interlocking of the guard for the nozzle area shall be according to G.4 or G.5 or
according to category 1 of EN 954-1:1996 and the interlocking of the guards for the mould area shall be
according to G.6 or G.7 or according to category 3 of EN 954-1:1996.
In the case of dangerous run-down, i.e. t (access time) < T (overall system stopping performance as defined
in EN 999:1998, 3.2), the guard for the nozzle area shall be an interlocking guard with guard locking.
Guard locking shall remain effective until standstill has been detected. The detection of standstill shall be
according to category B of EN 954-1:1996.
In the case of an interlocking guard without guard locking for the nozzle area the access time shall be
calculated as specified in 5.3.7.2.2.2.
When calculating or measuring the overall system stopping performance for the movement of the plasticizing
and/or injection unit, the worst case shall be taken into account related to speed, mass, temperature. See
7.1.9.
5.3.7.4 Electrical axis for the rotation of the plasticizing screw
For this movement, the interlocking of the guard for the nozzle area shall be according to G.4 or G.5 or
according to category 1 of EN 954-1:1996 and the interlocking of the guard for the mould area shall be
according to G.6 or G.7 or according to category 3 of EN 954-1:1996.
Guard locking is not required because the run-down is not dangerous.
If the machine is designed for processing rubber only, a motor control unit according to category B of
EN 954-1:1996 without a contactor is sufficient.
5.3.7.5 Electrical axis for the linear movement of the injection screw or plunger
For this movement, the interlocking of the guard for the nozzle area shall be according to G.4 or G.5 or
according to category 1 of EN 954-1:1996 and the interlocking of the guard for the mould area shall be
according to G.6 or G.7 or according to category 3 of EN 954-1:1996.
Guard locking is not required because the run-down is not dangerous.
5.3.7.6 Electrical axes for the movement of cores and ejectors
For the movement of cores and ejectors and/or their drive mechanisms, the interlocking of the guards outside
the mould area shall be according to G.4 or G.5 or according to category 1 of EN 954-1:1996 and the
interlocking of the guards for the mould area shall be according to G.6 or G.7 or according to category 3 of EN
954-1:1996.
In the case of dangerous run-down, i.e. t (access time) < T (overall system stopping performance as defined
in EN 999:1998, 3.2), the guards shall be interlocking guards with guard locking.
Guard locking shall remain effective until standstill has been detected. The detection of standstill shall be
according to category
