2.1.7
Danger of Crushing
The machine manufacturer and/or operator must ensure that all danger to
persons due to unavoidable travel movements is excluded. For this pur-
pose, 2-handed operation, for example, or preferably suitable safety guards
can be used.
If there is a gap of less than 25 mm after the distance is travelled, there is
generally a risk of crushing extremities. For this reason,
▪ the speed of movement of components moving towards each other
must generally be reduced to no more than 2 m/min (specification as
per DIN EN ISO 23125). This also applies to commissioning work, set-
up mode and service work.
▪ or the workpiece loading in normal mode must be carried out either
mechanically or with a ramrod in the case of clamping equipment with
clamping movements.
▪ or the object to be clamped must be fixed with a permanently or tem-
porarily attached workpiece holder (e.g. prism) before the movement is
started.
▪ or, for example, in the case of cylinders and comparable moving com-
ponents, the gap must be covered by a safety guard so as to be inac-
cessible.
2.1.8
Procedure in the Event of Danger and Accidents
