The location of local E-stop buttons may vary on
different machines; therefore the locations of these
buttons must be verified from the operating and
maintenance manuals specific to the equipment
and/or from proper training.
In emergency stop situations, the objective is to
stop the machine as soon as possible to minimize
potential injuries while maintaining the structural
integrity of the machine.
0.3.1.3 Safety Interlocks
A safety interlock is a device that will interrupt the
supply of electricity, hydraulic oil or compressed
air to an actuator or motor. A machine already in
operation may need to stop quickly due to Operator
error, safety violations, or an unexpected machine
event. For example, a safety gate may be
interlocked to stop a machine if the gate is opened
while the machine is running.
Interlocks can also be used to prevent sudden
unexpected movement of a machine function or
component.
During operation, the logic system (e.g.,
programmable logic controller, microcontroller,
relay system or similar device) controls the
functions of the machine. Interlocks built into the
system employ limit switches and other sensors to
help assure proper machine operation.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT INTERLOCKING
ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOT REMOVED,
MODIFIED OR BYPASSED, AND THAT THEY
ARE CORRECTLY ADJUSTED. LIMIT
SWITCHES, AND OTHER SENSORS MUST BE
KEPT IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
Electric Motors
Electric drives and motors may be controlled to
stop or reduce speeds, as determined by the safety
interlocks at a particular location.
Hydraulic System
Components that help protect the hydraulic system
include certain valves, such as hose burst valves,
pressure relief valves, counterbalance valves and
pilot-controlled throttle valves as well as pressure
transducers and drain valves for pressure
accumulators. Metso Minerals uses these
components where applicable in the hydraulic
systems to minimize the potential for hazardous
situations to occur.
A hose break valve functions to lock up if fluid
flow is discharged too rapidly from an actuating
cylinder, as happens if a hose breaks and the loads
react to gravity.
The pressure relief valve prevents the system
pressure from rising beyond system capabilities. It
helps protect the entire fluid system and any
operators in the vicinity from bursting hoses and
components.
The pilot-controlled throttle valve helps prevent
uncontrolled actuator movements.
Pressure transducers monitor the system pressure
for information or control purposes.
CAUTION
Emergency stop not only stops the machine
but often it may initiate other protective
sequences.
NOTICE
It may be necessary to engage reset
switches before movement can resume.
