Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
If the system still retains residual energy, serious injuries can be
caused while working on the product.
•
Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
•
Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
•
To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted.
Limit/prevent accidental access for people in this area through
technical safety measures. The protection cover and protective
fence must be rigid enough to withstand the maximum possible
movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily
and quickly accessible. Before commissioning the machine or
automated system, check that the EMERGENCY STOP system is
working. Prevent operation of the machine if this protective
equipment does not function correctly.
Notes on particular risks

swiveling range.
•
Never move loads without supervision.
•
Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
•
Wear suitable protective equipment.
